Caviar has released a luxury magnetic back cover for the iPhone 17 Pro Max that costs between $1,630 and $4,490. The accessory attaches magnetically to the device via MagSafe and comes in silver, gold, or black finishes created by a physical vapor deposition coating. One specific variant called 'Relict' features white alligator leather and a small triangle that reportedly contains a fragment of a real T-Rex tooth. The cover adds noticeable thickness to the phone and likely blocks wireless charging and MagSafe accessories when installed.
Luxury accessory adds thickness and likely disables MagSafe
The back cover is made of titanium and attaches directly to the rear of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. Caviar offers the magnetic attachment system as a way to customize the device without permanent modification. The product falls under the company's Magnetic Custom Collection line. It targets users who want to change the appearance of their smartphone with premium materials.
- Material: Titanium with PVD coating
- Attachment Method: Magnetic (MagSafe)
- Special Feature (Relict variant): Contains a fragment of a real T-Rex tooth
- Compatibility Impact: Blocks wireless charging and MagSafe accessories when installed
The titanium construction receives a PVD coating to achieve the silver, gold, or black color options. The Relict variant distinguishes itself with white alligator leather wrapping and the inclusion of the dinosaur tooth fragment. This design choice adds significant bulk to the device profile. The magnetic connection point sits beneath the camera module where the tooth fragment is located.
Installing this panel prevents wireless charging and MagSafe accessories from working properly. Users must remove the cover to restore these functions. The price range reflects the different materials and design complexity of each variant. The T-Rex tooth fragment is said to be real, though the source uses tentative language regarding its authenticity. Wireless charging failure is also described as likely rather than guaranteed.
