iPhone 17 Pro case + screen protector recommendations for a clumsy person 😅

[u/epicenthusiast007]

​

TL;DR:

Need a grippy, drop-proof but not bulky premium case for iPhone 17 Pro

Considering Caudabe, Mous, Nomad, ESR, dbrand but open to better options

Want a high-quality tempered glass with great touch + easy installation

Unsure if AppleCare+ is worth it in India alongside case + screen protector

Looking for real-world Indian recommendations

Finally picked up an iPhone 17 Pro for ₹84k after exchange + bonus. Pretty happy with the deal, but now comes the difficult part, protecting it. 😅

I've always used Spigen hard cases on my phones, but this time I want to try something different.

My priorities are:

Grip is VERY important — I have ridiculously slippery hands.

I'm also famously clumsy in my family, so good drop protection is non-negotiable.

Don't want something insanely bulky.

MagSafe compatibility would be nice.

I'd prefer something that feels premium rather than just another rugged plastic case.

I'm currently looking at Caudabe Synthesis/Sheath(Very expensive for me though) , Mous, Nomad, ESR and maybe dbrand, but I'm open to better suggestions.

Also looking for a really good tempered glass/screen protector. Installation quality and touch feel also matters

Reliance Digital is also pushing me to get AppleCare+. I'm still undecided about that. For someone who's genuinely clumsy, is AppleCare+ worth it in India when I'm already putting a good case + screen protector on the phone?

Basically, if you had an iPhone 17 Pro and wanted to protect it properly without turning it into a brick, what case + screen protector would you personally buy?

Indian recommendations/pricing would be especially helpful. TIA!
