Mynus has released a minimalist magnetic back for the iPhone 17 Pro designed to eliminate the device's camera bump. The accessory attaches via neodymium magnets and a reusable micro-suction sheet, creating a flat rear profile. Mynus insists this component is not a case but rather an aesthetic modification that follows their 'aesthetics of subtraction' philosophy.
Japanese company Mynus introduces a minimalist magnetic back designed to flatten the rear of Apple's upcoming smartphone without adding bulk.
The back covers the entire rear surface of the iPhone 17 Pro and comes in four distinct color variants: Rubber Black, Orange, Navy with a soft-touch finish, and Sand White featuring a sandstone-like texture. The company positions this accessory as a way to change the physical profile of Apple's upcoming smartphone without adding bulk.
- Weight: 32g
- Attachment Method: Neodymium magnets and reusable micro-suction sheet
- Compatibility: MagSafe and Qi charging compatible
- Colors: Rubber Black, Orange, Navy (soft-touch), Sand White (sandstone-like)
Mynus claims that installing the magnetic back does not interfere with wireless charging capabilities. The company states the iPhone 17 Pro will remain fully compatible with both MagSafe and Qi charging standards when the back is attached. This compatibility claim is a key feature for users who rely on wireless power delivery.
The accessory starts at $39 USD, €34 EUR, or £29 GBP depending on the region. International shipping appears to be available, though Mynus warns that buyers may face additional duties and taxes depending on their location. A matching version designed for the super-thin iPhone Air is also planned for release by June.
The company has not provided independent verification of real-world performance metrics. Advertising features may not fully reflect actual user experience regarding magnetic strength or long-term durability. Consumers should evaluate these claims with caution until third-party testing becomes available.
Mynus offers a flat-profile alternative to traditional protective cases for the iPhone 17 Pro. The accessory focuses on aesthetic modification while maintaining core wireless charging functionality at a budget-friendly price point.
