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.
