The Jailbreak Case: iPhone 17 Pro Gets Second Screen and 2TB Storage
The new Selfix case from Dockcase is the ultimate hardware accessory for the iPhone 17 Pro, giving it the features Apple refuses to include. This case doesn’t just protect the phone; it adds a secondary AMOLED screen and removable storage, directly challenging the design philosophy of the latest Apple flagship.

The Xiaomi-Inspired Camera Upgrade
The main draw is the high-quality 1.6-inch circular AMOLED display (480x480p resolution) on the back.
-
The Problem it Solves: The iPhone’s best camera is the main 48MP sensor on the back, but you can’t see yourself when using it. Content creators and vloggers have been limited to the smaller front-facing camera.
-
The Fix: The secondary screen acts as a zero-lag camera viewfinder, allowing users to take perfect selfies and vlogs using the superior main camera system. This is a clear response to devices like the Xiaomi 17 Pro, which made a similar “Magic Back Screen” a key selling point.
Beyond the Screen: Storage and Power
Dockcase didn’t stop at the display. They packed the Selfix case with additional features that target the needs of professional users:
-
Massive Storage Expansion: The case includes a microSD card slot that supports up to 2TB of expandable storage.
-
The Kicker: Media (photos and videos) stored on the microSD card is designed to appear inside the regular iPhone gallery, seamlessly circumventing Apple’s locked-down internal storage system.
-
-
Fast Charging Passthrough: It features a PD 3.0 USB Type-C port that supports up to 100W input, ensuring super-fast charging for the phone itself.
-
Seamless Operation: The case works without a dedicated companion app and includes a physical power button to manage the secondary screen’s battery consumption.
The case, which comes in colors like Midnight Black, Oat White, and Blush Pink, is currently being showcased on Kickstarter where pricing and an official release date are still pending. This case is a game-changer for anyone tired of paying Apple’s “upgrade tax” for internal storage.
