Recently, Apple launched the iPhone 17 as a marked improvement from the previous edition. Not only does it come in a wider range of variants with varying degrees of updated technology – the cameras in particular – it also signals the return of trend-conscious colorways: silver, cosmic orange, lavender, sage, mist blue, white, and standard black. (Fun fact: This article was written on an iPhone 17 Pro Max in deep blue).

Offering even more choice to “dress” and complement the new devices is Paris-based product design company Native Union’s new Fall/Winter 2025 range of cases and matching wallets with integrated stands.

Like the improved iPhone 17, Native Union’s suite of products is as refined in minimalist style as it’s advanced in material composition. It’s also as varied and accommodating to different needs. With the use of newly treated high-endurance leather alternatives containing 40% recycled content; a focus on sustainability is also key.

This hyper engineered animal-free material is particularly stain and water resistant. It’s also flexible enough to easily mount and dismount and yet a far cry from flimsy silicone.

Defined by its dotted design, the Active Case is durable enough for an intrepid hike up a mountain but also flexible enough for daily meetings. Its precision camera control button makes all the difference.

Its optimized protection doesn’t take away from the function of the phone. Notably, especially if one’s aim is to extend the color of the phone to its exterior, this variant comes in Apricot Crush and Slate Green, as well as the standard Sandstone and Black.

Of course, the (Re)Clear Case achieves this with a crystal clear exterior that’s no less sturdy. The (Re)Classic Case features an elegantly cross-grained embossed texture, also adding to the tactile experience of taking calls. The (Re)Classic Case comes in four hues: Black, Tan, Navy, and Slate Green.

Rendered in the same materials and colorways as the case, with the addition of the color Kraft, the (Re)Classic Wallet perfectly fits in like a kit-of-parts element attached using quality magnets that don’t harm the phone or impede its wireless charging. Also magnetic, the Active Wallet Stand pulls double duty by working as a phone stand and a place to house four cards. It comes in five shades: Apricot Crush, Black, Sandstone, Slate Green, and Lemon. Both can comfortably contain your important cards – far better then most run of the mill case wallets.

If that weren’t enough, Native Union has also launched the new, rich earth-tone Tan hue across a diverse range of its product line this season. It’s also launching the Rise Magnetic Qi2 Wireless Chargers to fully round out its dynamic offering.
