This unique case will put a screen on the back of your iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max
- An iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max case with integrated screen has been announced
- Dubbed the Selfix Case, it’s designed to help you frame selfies using the rear cameras.
- It also has a microSD card slot
One of the most intriguing phones announced this year is the Xiaomi 17 Pro, which – along with its bigger brother, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max – features a small secondary screen on the back, allowing you to control media, view notifications and frame selfies. But soon, thanks to an accessory, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will also benefit from some of these capabilities.
Selfix has announced the Selfix Case, a case for your iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max with a built-in 1.6-inch circular AMOLED touchscreen. This 480 x 480 screen can be used as a viewfinder for the rear cameras, so you can use them to take selfies.
The upside is that it gives you the choice of three additional lenses for selfies, giving you different focal lengths and access to larger sensors with more megapixels and better low-light performance. Of course, technically you could still take selfies with the rear cameras without this case, but you’d just have to hope that your photo is framed correctly.
Also increases your storage
The Selfix case also includes a microSD card slot, so add a card and you’ll have plenty of space for all your photos and videos. Additionally, there is a mechanical button to turn this secondary screen on and off.
Best of all, the Selfix case supposedly works without any apps or setup – just pop your iPhone in it and you should be good to go.
How well this works in practice remains to be seen, but it’s certainly intriguing. There’s also the question of price, as we don’t yet know how much the Selfix case will cost, but it should be hitting Kickstarter soon, where it will be offered in Oat White, Blush Pink, and Midnight Black shades.
Of course, even if it works as advertised, it won’t be as versatile as the secondary display on the Xiaomi 17 Pro series, as it can be used for much more than just framing selfies. But if you want a second screen without ditching iOS, this might be your best and only option.
