Why you'll love it

Six things worth knowing.

  • Carbon, inside a bumperA lot of carbon cases are the panel and nothing else. This twill sits in a black bumper, with metal buttons and a metal camera ring set in.
  • Matte 3K twillReal woven carbon in a 2x2 twill, finished matte, so the weave reads without glare.
  • Papaya twiceOutside, one papaya line frames the carbon on three sides. Inside, the whole lining is papaya microfiber with the MagSafe ring pressed in.
  • Charges through itMagSafe chargers, wallets and mounts attach and charge through the back, the same as they would on the bare phone.
  • Cut for the 18 Pro MaxAn iPhone 17 Pro Max case will not fit the new phone, so an upgrade means a new case.
  • McLaren's 2026 wordmarkThe TUMI x McLaren mark on the back uses the wordmark McLaren introduced in 2026, set in spaced capitals across the carbon.

A case is something you see every time you pick up the phone, and most of them were chosen for the price, not the look. Carbon cases usually swing the other way: a good-looking panel with nothing protecting the corners. This one keeps the carbon and adds the bumper.

We have specialized in carbon fiber since 2007, and the back of this case is the reason we carry it: real woven carbon, 3K in a 2x2 twill, with a matte finish that shows the pattern instead of a reflection. A black antishock bumper runs around it and takes the corners, and the buttons and camera ring are metal. One papaya line frames the carbon on three sides, and the lining underneath is papaya microfiber with the MagSafe ring pressed into it. MagSafe chargers, wallets and mounts work through the back as usual. The TUMI x McLaren mark uses the wordmark McLaren introduced in 2026, in spaced capitals.

This one is cut for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and there is a matching case for the 18 Pro. A Pro Max case from the 17 line will not fit the new phone. It carries TUMI's two-year warranty, so all that is left is adding it to your cart and letting the people who follow McLaren notice the wordmark on their own.

Carbon, with a bumper around it

Woven 3K twill across the back, left matte so the pattern shows without glare, and set into a black bumper that takes the edges and the corners.

02 / 03

McLaren's 2026 wordmark

The mark on the back uses the wordmark McLaren introduced in 2026, set in spaced capitals across the carbon. Easy to miss unless you follow McLaren, and the first thing you see if you do.

03 / 03

Most of the papaya is inside

Outside, one papaya line frames the carbon. Take the phone out and the whole lining is papaya microfiber, with the TUMI x McLaren mark printed at the base.

Questions people ask

3 questions

No. An iPhone 17 case does not fit the iPhone 18, in either size. If you are still carrying a 17, the iPhone 17 version of this case is the one cut for your phone. Check the model name in Settings, under General and About, if you are not sure which you have.

Yes. MagSafe chargers, wallets and mounts attach through the back and charge the phone the same way they would without a case. You can see the outline of the MagSafe ring pressed into the papaya lining, which is where it lines up with the phone.

TUMI handles it directly, for two years. Carbon Fiber Gear is an authorized TUMI retailer, so a case bought here carries the same TUMI warranty as one bought from TUMI. If you are not sure where to start a claim, write to us and we will point you to the right place.
