Apple’s iPhone 17 is only weeks away and we already have a good idea about what to expect from the upcoming lineup. While we wait for the official announcement, fresh evidence now suggests the company is preparing a new feature for its MagSafe cases. Here’s what the latest leak reveals.

iPhone 17 Case Video Leaks

Well-known Leaker Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a video on social media showing what he describes as a “Liquid Silicone” case fitted on an iPhone 17 dummy unit.

For reference, “Liquid Glass” is Apple’s name for the transparent design elements coming with iOS 26. The video doesn’t clarify the meaning behind “Liquid Silicone,” but it does highlight a design tweak that aligns with recent rumours.

Earlier this month, multiple leakers reported that Apple may introduce lanyard support for its official iPhone 17 cases. The video backs this up and shows a silicone case similar in shape to one that would fit the iPhone 16 but with two small holes at the bottom edge. According to experts, this is most likely designed for attaching a lanyard strap.

This design mirrors the lanyard slot already present on Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

While third-party case makers often add lanyards or straps for better grip and camera usability, Apple has so far relied on partners like Incase to sell lanyard accessories for AirPods Pro rather than offering its own. It remains to be seen if the iPhone 17 MagSafe case lineup will follow the same approach.
