iPhone Air
At 5.6mm there is no spare millimetre anywhere, and the full-width camera bar sits where no other iPhone's does — nothing cut for the 17 will seat. The thin bumper is closer to the intended fit than a protective shell, and the crossbody strap mounts to the case rather than the phone, so strap and case are bought as a pair.
