ESR Stash Stand Case vs Smartish Gripzilla MagSafe iPhone 17 Case

The ESR Stash Stand is the better pick if you want a slim clear case with a built-in kickstand for hands-free viewing. The Smartish Gripzilla is the tougher case: it is drop-tested 50 times from 6 feet, has air-pocket corners, a microfiber lining and textured finger grooves. The Gripzilla is built for one model, the iPhone 17, while the ESR fits a range of phones and adds MagSafe and wireless charging support. Owners of the ESR rate it well for its stand and clear look; the Gripzilla's edge is grip and impact protection.

  • Choose the ESR Stash Stand if you want a slim clear case with a kickstand for watching video and a MagSafe ring that works with wireless chargers.
  • Choose the Smartish Gripzilla if you drop your phone often and want tested 6-foot protection, a grippy textured hold and full Camera Control coverage on the iPhone 17.

What reviewers say

ESR Stash Stand Case

  • 4.6 / 520 ratings

Owners rate it well, with 4.6 out of 5 from 20 ratings. They like the hidden stand and the fact that MagSafe still works. Some worry about the clear plastic discoloring and the hinge loosening.

What people mention
  • KickstandPraisedOwners like that the stand folds flush and props the phone for video.
  • MagSafePraisedCharging and magnetic accessories work without removing the case.
  • YellowingCriticisedSome owners report the clear plastic discolors over time.
  • BuildMixedThe case feels slim, but the hinge is seen as the weakest part.

Smartish Gripzilla MagSafe iPhone 17 Case

Owners of earlier Gripzilla versions praise the grip and the protection from repeated drops, and call the MagSafe hold strong. The common complaints are bulk and the case picking up lint and pocket friction.

What people mention
  • GripPraisedOwners say the textured sides and grooves make the phone hard to drop.
  • Drop protectionPraisedReviewers report phones surviving concrete drops without cracks.
  • BulkCriticisedSome find the case noticeably thicker and heavier than slim rivals.
  • MagSafe holdPraisedWallets and car mounts stay attached without slipping.

Questions and answers

Which is better for watching video?
The ESR Stash Stand, because its built-in kickstand props the phone up without a separate stand. The Gripzilla has no kickstand.
Which protects better in a drop?
The Smartish Gripzilla. It is drop-tested 50 times from 6 feet and has air-pocket corners, while ESR publishes no drop-test rating for the Stash Stand.
Does either case work with MagSafe?
Both do. The ESR Stash Stand and the Smartish Gripzilla are MagSafe compatible and work with wireless chargers and accessories.
Is the Gripzilla worth stepping up to over the ESR?
If you drop your phone often or want a grippier hold, yes. If you mainly want a slim clear case with a stand, the ESR covers that.
Will the Gripzilla fit my phone?
Only if you have an iPhone 17. The ESR Stash Stand is listed for multiple phone models, so check your model before buying.
Which is easier to hold?
The Gripzilla, with textured sides and deep finger grooves. The ESR's smooth clear surface gives less grip.
