The new Center Stage selfie camera is one of the best features of Apple\u2019s iPhone 17 series \u2014 but why settle for 18MP snaps when 48MP selfies are possible?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the question posed by Kickstarter case brand Dockcase, whose latest offering, the Selfix case, adds a touchscreen to the back of your iPhone 17 Pro for seamless, main camera-quality selfies.<\/p>\n

The Selfix case features a Camera Control cutout which, when pressed, activates both the rear touchscreen and the iPhone camera via USB-C, giving you access to Apple\u2019s full suite of rear camera features in a front-facing orientation: the 48MP main lens, 48MP ultra-wide lens, Night Mode, Portrait Mode \u2014 the works.<\/p>\n

The rear touchscreen makes it easy to frame up 48MP snaps, and you can navigate your phone as normal from behind with minimal lag (though you do have to switch on AssistiveTouch in the Accessibility settings menu, since the case is considered an adaptive accessory).<\/p>\n

Beyond that setting, though, Dockcase doesn\u2019t ask you to download any apps or sit through a complicated setup process, which makes the Selfix case easy enough to use straight out of the box.<\/p>\n

As above, I definitely have reservations about the size of the case, and while it features a built-in magnetic ring around the screen for MagSafe grips and mounts, it\u2019s not compatible with wireless charging accessories. That makes it, for me, a tough sell in practical terms, but having…<\/p>\n
