9to5Mac Recommends $9 Mothca Protector and $34.99 Spigen Case for iPhone 17 Pro

$9 Mothca matte glass and Spigen’s $34.99 Thin Fit emerged as 9to5Mac’s two budget accessory picks for the iPhone 17 Pro.
The screen protector is recommended to prevent the deep scratches the reviewer says still appear after a year of use, while adding a matte, anti-glare look Apple’s improved Ceramic Shield 2 still does not fully match.
Spigen’s case won praise for keeping bulk low while adding MagSafe, a capacitive Camera Control cover and full camera-bump protection—features the reviewer says many cheaper cases skip.
The recommendations target users who want occasional protection and a different finish without spending heavily, with the screen protector sold in $9 single or $14 double packs.
