im honestly so fed up with my old iphone 11 at this point, like the battery barely lasts half a day anymore and half my apps just crash randomly. plus the camera is getting super blurry and i am just ready to upgrade already. im planning to grab the new iphone 17e as soon as it drops since i want something a bit more pocket-friendly without paying a grand, but honestly i have no clue what cases or screen protectors are actually good for it yet.

anyway since im ordering it soon i need to figure out the gear situation. heres what im looking for:

• a slim case that wont make it feel like a brick
• decent screen protector cos im super clumsy
• budget is around $50-$70 total for accessories tbh
• needs to actually protect the camera bump since thats where my last phone got wrecked

what are the must-have accessories i should actually buy for this thing so i dont ruin it on day one...
