Frequently asked questions about the iPhone 18 Pro Max case
Does an iPhone 17 Pro Max case fit the iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Often, yes. Accessory makers indicate that cases for the 17 Pro Max also fit the 18 Pro Max. Apple does not guarantee this, and an older case may not fit as snugly around the camera array. An AlcanLuxury iPhone 18 Pro Max case is made specifically for this model and fits perfectly everywhere.
How much thicker does the iPhone 18 Pro Max get with a case?
Hardly at all. The device itself is 8.75 millimeters thick, and an Alcantara case adds only a thin layer to the back and edges. As a result, the device remains slim enough for an inside pocket with an Alcantara iPhone 18 Pro Max case.
Can I use a MagSafe wallet with this case?
Yes. The case is MagSafe-compatible, so a magnetic wallet clicks directly onto the back. The same applies to MagSafe chargers, car mounts, and stands.
How does Alcantara hold up with daily use?
Alcantara is made for intensive use, just like in car seats and steering wheels. The material retains its color and softness, and gains a slightly lived-in look over time. With occasional brushing, the case will stay beautiful for years.
What are the shipping costs and can I return it?
Shipping is free on orders over 75 euros. In the Netherlands, your order is usually delivered the next business day. If the case doesn't meet your expectations, you can return it within 14 days, or up to 100 days if unused; return shipping costs are your responsibility.
