Does The Charmé Edit Support the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max?
Yes, both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are supported across our full range, including the drag-and-drop customiser and every made-to-order design. They sit alongside 137 other named phone models in our current lineup, spanning the full iPhone range back to the iPhone 6, plus a wide selection of Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices. If your exact device isn't listed, there's also an "other phone model" option at checkout where you note it directly and we'll match you with a compatible base case. Because every case is made to order rather than pulled from pre-made stock, the base case is built specifically for whichever model you choose, so the camera cutout and button placement line up properly from the start. There's no separate "new phone surcharge" either, a case for the iPhone 18 series is priced exactly the same as one for any other supported model in our range.
Choosing Your Case Colour and Gel Finish for iPhone 18
Whichever model you're ordering for, the case and gel choice works the same way: White with Glitter Gel, Black with Black Gel, or White with White Gel. The gel finish is where your charms actually sit, so it's worth thinking about how your chosen design will read against it before committing. Darker charms and antique metals tend to stand out more clearly against White Gel or Glitter Gel, while pale stones and pearls can get a little lost unless you're using Black Gel as contrast instead. If you're building a specific colour story rather than starting from one of our curated designs, it's worth picking your gel finish first, then choosing charms that will actually show up against it rather than working the other way around. None of the three gel options cost more than another, so the decision genuinely comes down to which finish suits the design you have in mind rather than budget.
Customiser vs Curated Designs on iPhone 18
For iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, you have the same two routes available as every other supported model. The drag-and-drop customiser starts at £26.99 and lets you place your own charm layout in real time on the base case shape. Our curated designs, like The Cosmos or Eros Light (pictured below), start at £48.99 and come with a full charm layout already built by our team, which you can still personalise further with letters, numbers, or extra charms. If you already know exactly what you want, the customiser gives you full control. If you'd rather start from a finished look and adjust from there, a curated design does more of the initial work for you. Both routes result in the same handmade quality, since the difference is really just who does the initial layout planning, you or our team.
Should You Add a Pop Socket to Your iPhone 18 Case?
A pop socket adds £10 to any case, bringing the customiser base to £36.99 or a curated design to £58.99. It attaches with adhesive rather than magnetically, which is worth knowing upfront since it means it's a semi-permanent addition rather than something you'd swap between cases regularly. For a larger device like the Pro Max specifically, a pop socket can make one-handed use noticeably easier, since it gives your fingers something to grip while typing or scrolling rather than relying on your palm alone. It's entirely optional, and plenty of people prefer the cleaner look of the case without one, so it comes down to how you actually plan to hold and use your phone day to day. If you're unsure, it's easy enough to order the case first and add a pop socket separately later once you've had a chance to see how the case feels on its own.
Can I Get a DIY Kit for iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max?
Yes, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are both listed as phone model options on our DIY Phone Case Kit, which starts at £22, making it the cheapest way to get a case for either model. The build-your-own kit includes the silicone case, silicone gel, and every tool you need: tweezer, spreader, alcohol pads, and gloves. Charms aren't included, so you choose and buy them separately from our charms collection, then place and seal them yourself in 15 to 30 minutes. The surface is dry to the touch after 24 hours and fully cured after 2 to 3 days. If you'd rather skip picking charms yourself, some of our other kits start at £42 with a curated set already matched to a specific design. Either way, there's no production wait like a made-to-order case, since the kit is ready to build the moment it arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my case fit properly if I have the iPhone 18 Pro Max specifically, not the smaller Pro?
Yes, the Pro Max is listed as its own separate model option alongside the standard iPhone 18 Pro, so the base case you receive is built specifically for the Pro Max's dimensions rather than a generic "large iPhone" shape. Because the case is made to order rather than pulled from a batch of pre-made stock, selecting the correct model at checkout is what determines which base case gets used, so double-checking you've picked Pro Max rather than the standard Pro is the one thing worth being careful about. The camera cutout and side button placement differ slightly between the two, so an incorrect selection would affect fit even though the charm design itself stays identical either way. If you're ever unsure which one you actually have, checking your phone's settings under General then About will confirm the exact model name, which is worth doing before you place the order rather than after.
Can I still get a personalised layout with letters, numbers, or a zodiac charm on an iPhone 18 case?
Yes, personalisation add-ons work exactly the same way regardless of which phone model you choose the case for. Letters and initials are £1 each, numbers are £1 each for spelling out a meaningful date, and zodiac sign charms are £2 each covering all twelve signs. These get added the same way whether you're starting from the customiser or a curated design, and they're set into the cream gel base during production rather than applied afterward. Because the phone model only affects the underlying case shape and not the charm placement process itself, there's no extra cost or limitation tied to newer devices like the iPhone 18 series specifically, so you can personalise a brand new phone exactly the same way you could an older one.
How long will production and delivery take for an iPhone 18 case specifically?
Production timelines are the same regardless of phone model, since every case goes through the same handmade process in our London studio. That means 4 to 7 working days in production, followed by a further 2 to 3 working days for UK delivery, or around 6 to 8 working days for delivery to the USA, Canada, or Australia, with customs duty already covered on those orders. Newer phone models don't add extra production time on our end, since the base case sourcing and charm-setting process is identical across our full range. If you're ordering for a specific date, building in the full production and delivery window as buffer is worth doing regardless of which phone model you're ordering for, since a newer device doesn't come with any kind of expedited handling.
What if I want a phone model that isn't specifically listed, like an older or less common device?
If your exact model isn't in our list of 137 named phones, there's an "other phone model" option at checkout where you write down your device directly, and our team will match it with the closest compatible base case available. This covers less common Android devices as well as older phones that may have been discontinued from our main list over time. It's worth being as specific as possible when noting your model, including the exact name and any storage or region variant if you know it, since base case shapes can vary even between similarly named devices. If you're not sure whether your phone will be covered, reaching out before ordering is the safest way to confirm rather than guessing and risking a fit issue after production has already started.
Is the DIY kit cheaper than the customiser for iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Yes, the build-your-own DIY kit starts at £22 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, compared with £26.99 for the made-to-order customiser case. The difference is who does the work: with the DIY kit, you choose your own charms separately from the charms collection and place them yourself at home, which takes most people 15 to 30 minutes, with the case fully cured after 2 to 3 days. With the customiser, our team places and seals your chosen layout for you, which takes 4 to 7 working days in production before it ships. Neither option costs more for the Pro Max specifically than for any other supported model, it's simply one of 137 phone models available across both routes. If budget is the main factor, the DIY kit is the lower-cost route, but if you'd rather not place charms yourself, the customiser does that part for you.
