Wow, sometimes a really interesting product idea pops up. One that you think, "Hey, if they actually build that right, it could be super useful." This particular product is an iPhone case, it's called the
Selfix, and it comes from the company Dockcase. What does it do? It's designed specifically for the
iPhone 17 Pro series, and its big feature is that it adds a whole second display to the back of the phone.
The Selfix case features a nice, circular
1.6-inch AMOLED touch display right on the back. That screen has a solid resolution of 480 x 480 pixels.
Why You Need That Second Screen
The main reason for this rear display is simple but brilliant: it finally lets you use the iPhone's amazing 48MP rear cameras for selfies and video recording. That quality difference is huge compared to the front camera. Also, you can finally get those ultrawide group selfies that the front camera just can't handle. The screen acts as a perfect framing preview right before you hit the shutter button.
But that’s not all the case does.
Extra Features: Power and Storage
The Selfix case is surprisingly feature-packed. It includes a PD $3.0$ USB-C port that can handle up to 100W input—which is crazy fast charging pass-through. It has a dedicated Power Button just to turn that secondary screen on or off. And here's another great feature: a microSD card slot that supports up to 2TB of storage.
Dockcase is claiming that the rear display offers a zero-lag experience. That's a big promise. Also, the company says you don’t need to install any separate app for the case to work. That’s awesome for simplicity. The microSD card is not just for storage, either; the company notes you can use that memory to store extra photos and videos right into your iPhone's main library.
Availability and Launch
Right now, we don’t have the final pricing details or the exact launch date for the Selfix case for the
iPhone 17 Pro. The product is expected to launch its campaign on
Kickstarter very soon. When it does release, you can choose from three color options:
Blush Pink, Oat White, and Midnight Black.
What do you think about this? Would a case that adds a high-quality display and 2TB of storage be worth the price for your iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max?
