I have this one coming in the mail too. Got it for $7.99. Let us know what you think of it as you use it.

I love it. It's the best case I've tried so far. The grip on the sides is really helpful for me. I'm also liking the carbon fiber look on the back. Very slim. Buttons are easy to press. Nice fit. Gonna pick up some more caseology cases can't go wrong at this price.

Cases tried so far:

Apple silicone - found it slippery at times
Speck presidio grip - too bulky but big improvement over previous version
Spigen liquid armor - slippery on the sides, didn't like the pattern it left
Spigen rough armor - awesome case but didn't like the apple logo cutout
Apple leather - more grippy than silicone, mine seems hard to access mute switch probably have to do an exchange

Broke my 6 and ordered a 7 on Monday with Express shipping so I only had a few days to get a case. I ordered a Diztronic case on Amazon because I used their matte black one on my 6 and really liked it.

They're offering a new, laser etched patterned version now and it's quite nice. Very slightly slimmer than the 6 case in a nice way and the pattern is really cool in the light, in a holographic kind of way.

Took this picture with my 7 lol, but I can probably get a pic of the phone in the case with my iPad if anyone really wants to see.

Oooooh thanks for the pic. I saw this case on Amazon and was wondering what it looked like for real. I really like that!

I pre-ordered the Radius v4 in Polish for my matte black 7+. Below is the Slate, but there was something about the silver against the matte black that just spoke to me. The black on black gave me more of an "armor" vibe.

This "case" (harness?) FINALLY made my mind up of sticking to my matte black order and not waiting for the jet black. What do you guys think?

Looks interesting... meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out exactly what iPhone that is in the photos (slate). It has a Sleep/Wake button over the camera lens, but has an all-black case and Touch ID.

EDIT - Oh no... not for $100. Nah.

[doublepost=1475944363][/doublepost]I just realized I saved the black on black photo from an iPhone 5* photo. Here's the right black on black.

Yeah, it's not an inexpensive case by any means. I really appreciate clever industrial designs and high end finishes, so to me, a case like this is more like a work of art.

I'll also get a matte finish, clear black case for other occasions/as a backup, but I haven't decided which one I'm getting yet.

Reminds me of the Ringke Onyx I'm currently using.

View attachment 663242 View attachment 663241 View attachment 663238 View attachment 663237 Peel case should be here in a few days; had a Spigen crystal clear case, but this one just arrived via UPS

I like it, and love the fact that their leather cases have progressively gotten better. (7 Plus vs. 6S Plus version)

And here's the Peel that arrived... not bad. Definitely feels more like a naked phone, while offering scratch and scuff (already tested) protection. Seems to give the tiniest bit of grip over the matte finishes, but would be a significant loss of grip for the naked Jet Black.

Elago black case from Amazon. I honestly don't see a difference between the Elago ($9.99) and the Peel ($24.99), either in photos or in my hand. I sent the Peel back.

Dug out this that I used for a while on my 6 Plus. Nice quality and good if you want to use your phone case less. By MediaDevil.

Got the jet tech ($4 with a coupon deal), spiegen liquid armor ($11.99/amazon), and Presidio Grip ($32 at att but $40 at att list, and $45 msrp -- had a corporate discount)

I like them all but most glued to Presidio Grip since getting in a week ago

sustained a nice face front fall to tile 4 feet, yesterday
