The Flip Top is a handcrafted leather case for iPhone 17 Pro with a leather cover that flips over the screen: full-grain Patagonia leather over Vaja’s Tri-Layer Core, Apple MagSafe charging and V-Mag compatibility, at 85 grams. Front-to-back protection with nothing to carry.
The Flip Top iPhone 17 Pro Leather Case is for those who want the screen covered without carrying anything else. Wrapped in hand-selected, full-grain leather sourced from Patagonia, Argentina, it adds a flip cover that shields the display while keeping your iPhone secure from drops, scratches and daily wear.
Underneath, our Tri-Layer Core handles everyday impact: a rigid Tritan Copolyester shell disperses the hit while a soft leather lining guards against micro-scratches, and a high-defense anodized aluminum ring adds drop protection around the camera. Built-in N52 rare-earth magnets keep it ready for Apple MagSafe chargers and for V-Mag, Vaja’s magnetic attachment system.
What the Flip Top deliberately leaves out is the wallet. It is the screen cover on its own, at 85 grams. If you want the cards in the same piece of leather, our Wallet Leather Case adds five RFID-protected slots and a cash pocket for six grams more, and the Buckler Wallet does the same with stainless steel corner shields. Or add a Mini Wallet or Card Wallet to this case and take them off when you don’t need them — browse the V-Mag add-ons made for iPhone 17.
And if the cover is what you would rather do without, the Grip is the open-front case at 44 grams, with the Buckler Grip at 55 for the most drop protection we build in leather.
When it comes to protecting both your iPhone and its screen, the Flip Top takes care of it all.

Both close over the screen and both are handcrafted in the same leather. The difference is the cards: the Wallet Leather Case carries five with RFID protection plus a cash pocket, at 91 grams. The Flip Top is the cover without the wallet, at 85. Choose the Flip Top if you want the leather cover and nothing else to carry.
The cover is the whole difference. The Flip Top closes over the screen at 85 grams; the Grip leaves the front open at 44 and slips in and out of a pocket faster. Choose the Flip Top if your phone shares a bag with keys; choose the Grip if you want the lightest leather case we make.
No. The Flip Top has no card slots by design. If you want cards, add a Mini Wallet or Card Wallet magnetically, or choose the Wallet Leather Case, which has five RFID-protected slots sewn in.

Beyond the flip cover, the Tri-Layer Core combines a full-grain Patagonia leather exterior, a rigid Tritan Copolyester shell that disperses impact, and a soft leather lining that guards against micro-scratches.
