While mere mortals are still scrambling to pre-order the just-announced iPhone 17, the truly prepared gentleman is already thinking about accessorising.

After all, what’s the point of owning the future if you can’t immediately wrap it in Italian luxury? Letting that gleaming new device go unprotected, even for a moment, is simply not an option.

Enter the Hard Graft Fuzzy Alcantara case. This isn’t just a cover; it’s an upgrade. It’s upholstered in ‘sports car grade’ Italian Alcantara, the same durable, suede-like material you find gripping you in the corners of a supercar. Does it make your notifications arrive 0-60mph faster?

Probably not, but your pocket will feel like a high-performance garage. The satisfying snap as it attaches is matched only by the reassuring click of the black metal buttons and the protection of the raised camera bezel.

It’s vegan, MagSafe compatible, and only 2mm thick, so it won’t ruin the impossibly thin profile of your new pride and joy. For a cool £68, you can have the case ready and waiting before your phone even dispatches.

It’s the ultimate power move: having the perfect outfit ready for a guest who hasn’t even arrived yet. Don’t be the guy fumbling with flimsy plastic; be the guy whose phone is already sitting in first class.
