Dockcase Selfix Case Puts a Rear Touchscreen and microSD Slot on iPhone 17 Pro, Now Crowdfunding

The microSD slot tops out at UHS-I speeds, so it serves backups rather than direct ProRes recording.

Overview

  • A 1.6-inch circular AMOLED on the back lets users frame selfies and video with the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max 48MP rear cameras.
  • The case plugs into USB-C using DisplayPort Alt Mode for mirroring with no app, and touch input requires AssistiveTouch enabled.
  • Built-in microSD storage supports up to 2TB (UHS-I, Class 10, U3, V30), which is useful for file transfers and backups but not high‑bitrate capture.
  • Reviewers report the rear viewfinder works with Apple’s Camera and third‑party apps such as Blackmagic Camera, with minimal lag and mixed opinions on added bulk.
  • Power passes through via USB‑C PD 3.0 up to 45W with MagSafe alignment for accessories, while wireless charging is unsupported; Kickstarter pledges start at $79 with delivery targeted for May 2026.
