Available on AliExpress (although I\u2019m not sure how much things would cost with the new tariff regime), this iPhone case gives your smartphone a camera bar at the back, not too different from the one we\u2019re expecting on the upcoming iPhone 17, which should launch in September this year.<\/p>\n<p>The case\u2019s camera bar is purely cosmetic, given that it does absolutely nothing for the phone itself, apart from probably providing a small stash space for money or photographs. I\u2019m not entirely sure why but all the cases come with a MagSafe cutout at the back too, probably to allow the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le logo on your phone to shine through. Why not just print an Apple logo on the case? Well apart from inviting a bunch of lawsuits, this method works out to be a tad bit easier because the cutout helps save on material costs too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-544835\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-544835\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"442330c6cd3ec32abe620057-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"442330c6cd3ec32abe620057-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-544836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"2112\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-544836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"2112\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I was scrolling through Threads and I saw an extremely surprised user saying he spotted an iPhone 17 in the wild, with blurry paparazzi-style photos of a woman rocking a phone with the camera bar. Almost instantly, the comments section was filled with AliExpress links to this case, which can trick most people into thinking you\u2019ve somehow managed to get your hands on a sample of the unreleased phone. It\u2019s a lot like those cases that add an extra faux lens to your camera setup, making it look like you\u2019ve got a 3-lens iPhone Pro when you\u2019ve got just the regular 2-lens iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-544837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1512\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-544837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1512\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"442330c6cd3ec32abe620057-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"442330c6cd3ec32abe620057-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This case (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aliexpress.com\/item\/1005007773111281.html\">available here<\/a>) is dirt cheap, priced at around $3.3 USD, and available for phones going all the way back to the iPhone 11. If you find yourself around tech journalists or any tech enthusiast, I highly recommend buying one just to watch their jaws drop as you whip your faux iPhone 17 out in the middle of a conversation. Sure, the sheer horror won\u2019t last long since this case isn\u2019t as convincing as I\u2019d like to hope. But then again, for a phone case that\u2019s cheaper than eggs, what more can you expect??<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-544838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1598\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-544838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1598\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/07\/hilarious-3-iphone-case-tricks-people-into-thinking-you-have-an-iphone-17\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hilarious $3 iPhone Case Tricks People Into Thinking You Have an iPhone 17\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/iphone_17_cases_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHARE\"><\/span>SHARE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-x\"><span>X<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pocket\"><span>Pocket<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-email\"><span>Email<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharing-hidden\">\n<div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-telegram\"><span>Telegram<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-threads\"><span>Threads<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><span>WhatsApp<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-mastodon\"><span>Mastodon<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-bluesky\"><span>Bluesky<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-nextdoor\"><span>Nextdoor<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
