Selfix case turns iPhone 17 Pro into a vlogging powerhouse with a rear display and microSD slot, launching on Kickstarter

The Selfix case transforms your iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max into a versatile vlogging tool, featuring a circular 1.6-inch OLED display on the back. This display, compatible with MagSafe accessories, allows users to frame selfies and videos using the phone's main cameras while freeing up the front screen. The case also includes a microSD slot supporting cards up to 2TB, offering significant extra storage without needing a new phone. Powering the display requires a minimum 18W USB-C adapter, with a recommended 45W setup to handle the case's 40W output to the phone, though simultaneous charging and display use isn't possible.

Selfix case specs and limitations

The display dims after a minute of inactivity and shuts off after five minutes, while the case itself powers down after ten minutes to preserve battery. Users control the touchscreen via AssistiveTouch, enabling basic camera app functions like tap-to-focus. The case adds 17mm thickness but remains manageable. It's currently available on Kickstarter for $79 (iPhone 17 Pro) or $109 (including a magnetic ring holder and strap), with only iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models supported.

Selfix case offers practical vlogging and storage solutions

This Kickstarter launch provides a unique way to expand iPhone functionality for creators needing extra storage or a dedicated vlogging setup, though power management and card swapping limitations are key considerations.
