Happy New Year and welcome back — I’m Paul, and in this video I’m jumping straight back in with a case that’s been getting a lot of attention: the Benks ArmorGrid Series for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. I’m still running the 17 Pro Max for now (Pixel’s gone, Z Fold 7 is still here, and I’ve also got the iPhone Air), and I’ve got a ton of cases to get through before the S26 Ultra lands. This one arrived in the blue to match the phone, and honestly, first impressions? Absolutely stunning — Kevlar build, refined design, and it feels really, really nice in the hand. I go over the details that actually matter day-to-day: the grip from that raised texture, the anodized aluminium buttons, the action button cutout, and the camera control. I also weigh it (around 41–42g without the phone) and check the protection properly — recessed camera lenses, a solid camera guard, and a proper lip around the screen (even with a screen protector fitted). Then I do my MagSafe tests the way I always do: not just “can it lift something,” but will it hold on a bedside charger without sliding and leaving you with a dead phone in the morning. It charges fine on the Nomad Base Stand, holds a MagSafe battery pack through a proper shake, and a wallet takes real effort to shift — exactly what you want.
