A black snakeskin phone case in genuine python from France
The back of the case is a single panel of genuine python skin from France, finished in black. Every scale is the skin's own, with a raised, slightly lifted edge and a fine crinkled texture across its surface, so the panel has a relief you can feel under your fingertips. The python is not embossed leather and not a printed pattern. Its finish is semi-matte, with a soft low sheen where light runs along the ridges of the scales. Because the pattern comes from the skin itself, the scales on each case are unique to it and differ from the photos.
Center-cut belly scales or small, even side scales
The scale pattern on the case depends on where its panel is cut from the skin. The center cut runs a column of wide, horizontal belly scales down the middle of the back, flanked by smaller diamond-shaped scales, and the ridges of the large scales pick up a smoky sheen in side light while the case stays black. The side cut covers the back from edge to edge in small, rounded diamond scales set in a tight, even net, with no large belly scales, so it reads as a deeper and more uniform black. Each cut comes from the same genuine black python skin.
A raised gold-tone metal camera frame on a TPU and polycarbonate shell
The top of the case back is one wide, rounded camera window that leaves the phone's whole camera area uncovered. A polished gold-tone metal frame edges the window and stands proud of the back, setting the camera area apart from the python panel below it. The volume buttons and the side button are gold-tone metal to match. The python panel sits flush in a shell of TPU and polycarbonate, with no stitching, and a matte black rim with rounded corners wraps the edges of the case and forms a raised lip. Inside, the case is lined in soft black.
MagSafe compatible, for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro models
The case is MagSafe compatible, so a MagSafe charger attaches to the python back and the phone charges without coming out of the case. It is made for the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and each case is cut for the model you choose, with the camera window and the buttons placed for that phone.

Caring for a python phone case
- Wipe the back with a soft, dry cloth in the direction of the scales, never against them, so the scale edges stay flat.
- Keep it away from water, heaters and long periods in direct sun; soaked or overheated scales can lift.
- Carry it apart from keys and coins, which can catch the raised edges of the scales.
- Avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners on the python and on the gold-tone metal.
- Buff the gold-tone camera frame and buttons with a dry microfiber cloth to lift fingerprints.
Black python case questions
Is this real python skin?
Yes. The back is genuine python skin from France, not embossed leather and not a print, so the scale pattern on each case is unique.
How does the center cut differ from the side cut?
The center cut has a column of wide belly scales down the middle of the back, flanked by smaller diamond scales. The side cut has small, even diamond scales from edge to edge and no large belly scales, so it looks darker and more uniform.
Which iPhone models does it fit?
It is made for the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Choose your model in the options; each case fits only that model.
Is it MagSafe compatible?
Yes. It works with MagSafe chargers and accessories, and a MagSafe charger attaches to the python back.
Are the camera frame and buttons metal?
Yes. The raised camera frame, the volume buttons and the side button are gold-tone metal.
Will my case match the photos exactly?
No. The scales on each case come from its own piece of skin, so the pattern and sheen on your case are unique to it.
Will the iPhone 17 Pro version fit an iPhone 18 Pro?
Order the iPhone 18 Pro version for an iPhone 18 Pro. Each case is cut for one model's size, buttons and camera window and fits only that model, so the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro cases are separate versions.
Does it fit the iPhone 17 or the iPhone Air?
No. It is made for the Pro and Pro Max models of iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 only: iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
