A very cool accessory for my iPhone 15Pro
I really like it! At first glance, it looks Silver rather than Titan Gray but the color changes from different angles. A very cool accessory, and I can already tell it will be one of my most used "cases"EDIT: after 3 months of constant use, it has many scratches, the color has come off at both top and bottom parts, and I must say it isn't worth the price tag. Whilst it looked great initially, I am disappointed with the quality after constant use

Best case hands down, even for unexpected battery longevity.
Scratches quite easily, but is the best iPhone case out there hands down. I was worried that the case may slip off the phone, but this does not happen, it’s really precisely engineered to firmly hold onto the phone. In addition to the obvious aesthetics, my phone feels a bit smaller and easy to hold, I think it will also lengthen the lifetime of the battery as the metal back of the phone can act as a heatsink. This is in contrast to rubber cases which insulate the phone, trapping heat and resulting in poorer battery longevity. My only concern along with easy scratching of the surface is that you may struggle to have it fit on wireless chargers, if they are longer than the height of the phone.

Minimalist design with maximum protection
My iPhone protected by by arc has taken many hard knocks on marble and concrete fallsThe protection is similar to a non minimalist case.

A bumpy start with a beautiful finish
I initially ordered the Arc Pulse case but ran into a delivery issue—it never arrived. However, I reached out to the seller, and their prompt, professional communication resulted in a full refund. Undeterred, I purchased the same case from another seller, and I couldn’t be happier with the result!Pros:• Stunning Design & Build: The case boasts a sleek, modern design that fits my device perfectly. The quality of the materials is impressive, offering both durability and style.• Perfect Fit & Functionality: All cutouts are precise, ensuring easy access to ports and buttons, while the case provides excellent protection without adding bulk.• Excellent Customer Service: Although my first order didn’t go as planned, the seller’s responsiveness and willingness to resolve the issue quickly left a positive impression.Cons:• Delivery Issues: My initial experience was marred by a delivery failure. However, since that was related to the seller’s fulfillment process, it didn’t reflect the quality of the case itself.Verdict:Despite a rocky start with delivery issues, the Arc Pulse case ultimately proved to be a lovely accessory. With a stylish design, a perfect fit, and high-quality construction, it’s a product I’d definitely recommend—especially when purchased from a reliable seller.

Expensive but lets you feel your phone again.
This is a very overpriced accessory in my opinion but if you love the feel of a naked iPhone without having to compromise safety fully, then this case is for you. iPhones nowadays (and many other phones) are built with some exceptional materials that just feel so good on the hand especially the back glass and the sides that just make you want to run them without a case. This Arc Pulse case allows for that without fully compromising the phones safety. But honestly, the phone is certainly not as safe because of how much is still exposed, your phone will most likely be subject to wear and tear and more susceptible to cracking.I’m still giving it 5 stars because I am perfectly happy with how it looks and the fact that I can feel the phone again but be warned that your phone has way more chances of getting damaged in this case than if you were to buy a random £10 case that covers the entire phone. If your phones safety is your upmost priority then it’s best to ignore this case.

Overpriced and impractical
I did not like this. It’s extremely tight go the phone and feels like it could be bending/damaging the phone every time I take it off. It looks pretty, but it’s not practical, the phone back being frosted glass means your phone is still extremely slippy in your hand, meaning lots more drops than would usually happen with a regular case. It would make more sense for there to be metal going down the body of the phone to prevent this. It’s also very overpriced for what it is, although it is very high quality.

Outstanding...for the right kind of user
TL:DR - for the generally careful, mindful user of tech, this may be the minimalist protection you've longed for. If you're not, these aren't the droids you're looking for.Longer: So I've been rocking an 8 Plus for several years, replaced the battery, etc. Finally time for an upgrade to the 16 pro. And over the years I've gotten to know myself. As a phone user, I'm pretty careful. As a past Dir. of Technology, I tend to be gentle on my tech and conscientious about daily care to prolong the lifespan.So putting the requisite screen protector and camera lens protectors on the new phone, I went to a leather case similar to what I've been rocking for about a decade. Hated the bulk. Went to a clear thin case. Hated the bulk. With Applecare+, decided to try this "terminator-style bumper" option.Pros: very minimalist. get to enjoy the titanium of the iPhone. Buttons have nothing between me and the metal. Both the rear and the front screen are protected from tabletops by raised lip. Width in the hand is simply the width of the phone...nothing more. It feels great in the hand - the way God and Tim Cook intended. The fit is VERY snug, and I have no fears of it slipping off. The bumpers provide just enough tactile surface that my fingers feel "something to grab" if that makes sense.Cons: I've not dropped it yet (I seldom do), but I figure I've got Applecare+ if there's a serious mishap. And a screen protector. And camera lens protectors. The bumpers cover the four corners...not the top, bottom, or side edges. I'm skeptical of the protection provided in a major oops. Only time will tell on that.So for me, I wanted a VERY minimalist / bare titanium experience. This option provides it, and it looks nice to boot. We'll see how I feel about it after the first inevitable slip up.

Excellent for the right user, overpriced for everyone else
This product targets a very specific niche. You need both the purchasing power to justify a $70 case and the willingness to accept limited drop protection — typically because you’re covered by AppleCare and not overly concerned about worst-case damage.From an engineering standpoint, it’s a very compelling piece. The CNC machining is precise, with excellent tolerances, resulting in a clean, refined finish. If you appreciate manufacturing quality, it’s genuinely impressive. The use of grade 5 aluminum is legitimate, although in practice, unless you’re familiar with materials, you won’t necessarily perceive a significant difference. What you will notice, however, is that it closely matches the feel of your phone’s aluminum, which is a nice touch. As expected from the product description, the fit is perfect, and installation is straightforward.Yes, it’s objectively overpriced in a general sense — but within its category, the pricing is fair. You’re paying for machining quality, materials, and a premium aesthetic, and those elements are delivered properly.Personally, I like bumper-style cases, and since I have AppleCare, I’m not concerned about potential damage. That puts me squarely in the target audience.

Design Perfection: The Symmetric Fix I’ve Been Waiting For
I am a long-time fan of the "caseless" feel, and this new Arc Pulse design for the iPhone 17 Pro series is a massive improvement over previous models. I actually ended up returning the version I bought for my iPhone 15 Pro Max because the camera protection was unbalanced, which made the phone wobble annoyingly whenever I placed it on a flat surface. This new design finally solves that; it is perfectly symmetrical, which is a huge relief for my OCD and allows the phone to lay flat without any rocking.The aerospace-grade aluminum feels incredibly premium and smooth, providing about 80% of that "naked" hand feel. While you do feel the raised bumps on the corners, they aren't uncomfortable—it just requires a small learning curve to get used to the new grip points. Installation is surprisingly easy and straightforward, as the two pieces stay in place securely on their own using self-provided pressure.You do have to be mindful that because this design only protects the essential areas—the corners, screen edges, and camera plateau—the rest of the phone's body is exposed. Since the iPhone 17 Pro series has moved from titanium to aluminum, the material is a bit softer. You have to be careful not to toss it in a pocket or bag with keys or other sharp objects.There is no denying that the price is a bit premium, but this is a very high-quality niche product for a specific type of user. While the materials feel exceptionally durable and built to last, I’ll need a long-term usage test to see how the finish holds up over time. Overall, it’s the perfect balance of aesthetics and minimal protection for those who want to showcase their phone's natural design.

Genial
Bellísimo, elegante, ligero y justo.El agarre es exacto, se siente de excelente calidad y te permite sentir tu teléfono como si no tuviera nada encima. No se me ha caído por lo que no puedo decir si realmente protege bien, pero se siente muy premium y seguro.
