  We report on observations of black hole Swift J1357.2-0933, a member of the
modest population of very faint X-ray transients. This source has previously
shown intense dips in the optical lightcurve, a phenomena that has been linked
to the existence of a "unique toroidal structure" in the inner region of the
disc, seen at a high inclination. Our observations, carried out by the Neil
Gehrels Swift and NuSTAR X-ray observatories, do not show the presence of
intense dips in the optical light curves. We find that the X-ray light curves
do not show any features that would straightforwardly support an edge-on
configuration or high inclination configuration of the orbit. This is similar
to what was seen in the X-ray observations of the source during its 2011
outburst. Moreover, the broadband spectra were well described with an absorbed
power-law model without any signatures of the cut-off at energies above 10 keV,
or any reflection from the disc or the putative torus. Thus, the X-ray data do
not support the unique obscuring torus scenario proposed for J1357. We also
performed a multi-wavelength study using the data of X-ray telescope and
Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope aboard Swift, taken during the 4.5 months
duration of the 2017 outburst. This is consistent with what was previously
inferred for this source. We found a correlation between the simultaneous X-ray
and ultraviolet/optical data and our study suggests that most of the
reprocessed flux must be coming out in the ultraviolet.
