ATEX Zone 1 / 21 iPhone 17
Intrinsically Safe iPhone Case for iPhone 17
The Xshielder for iPhone 17 is an intrinsically safe enclosure designed to bring genuine Apple smartphone performance into ATEX/IECEx Zone 1/21 hazardous areas. Built around the Apple iPhone 17, this lightweight explosion-protected case provides a modern iPhone experience for field workers who need reliable mobile technology without stepping outside hazardous area compliance.
The Xshielder iPhone 17 combines Apple’s latest standard iPhone with a slim, rugged enclosure engineered for demanding industrial environments. With support for the iPhone’s 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display, 48 MP Dual Fusion camera system, 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Face ID, wireless charging and eSIM capability, it gives mobile workers access to high-quality Apple performance in a format suited to hazardous area use.
Rather than modifying the phone itself, Xshielder provides a certified enclosure that houses the genuine iPhone. This means users retain the familiarity, responsiveness and app compatibility expected from an Apple device, while gaining a solution developed for Zone 1/21 hazardous area deployment.
The iPhone 17 version is designed as a lighter, slimmer and more accessible option within the Xshielder range. Its compact form factor makes it well suited to day-to-day field workflows, helping operators standardise iPhone use across hazardous areas while maintaining strong usability, durability and long-term value.
The enclosure has also been developed with sustainability and upgradeability in mind. Xshielder’s patented concept includes a replaceable cover design, helping users protect investment value over time and supporting future device replacement, trade-in or resale when the iPhone is ready to be upgraded.
