iPhone 7 plus lol. It's my baby after coming from droid for so long the lifeproof I was using was defective

Really like my LifeProof Nuud for 7 plus. Was/is one of my favorites. Price of entry high but it's a solid all the time case. Prefer the Nuud with screen protector to fit opening over the Fre. The Fre just doesn't do it for me and IMO is plagued with issues.

Wait what. How so. I'm waiting on my replacement
 
Yes, but you have to have been a member a certai time frame or certain number of posts.

I've debated selling some but can't decide what.

I have a whole herd of 6S+ cases too I for some reason haven't parted with ‍♂️

Lemme know if you're selling the Gear 4 D3O case.
 
You said plagued with issues

The Fre is. Starting with the rainbow screen effects included with purchase. Probably it's biggest down fall. And I don't like mute switch on it compared to Nuud. Sound input/output on Nuud is better too. I just strongly prefer Nuud over Fre. Fre screen protector could be so much better and if it was it may be another story.

Wrapping the whole phone in a clear coat is the best option
That's what I am doing with my iPhone 7 plus

Funny how things are and we all have our different opinions. I returned the Nüüd and like the Frē even though I really only use it in extreme situations. My favorite cases are my apple leather cases but I really love this Element case I've got going on right now.

I've found that element cases are awesome at first but after a week lose their appeal. I've had all of the black ops versions since the 5... never kept one long term.

In what way would you say they lose their appeal? I got it thru Amazon so I can return it if I tire of it but it really feels and looks so much better than anything else in its category I've tried I can't see what would turn out to be disappointing.

Maybe not necessarily lose their appeal, but as us case addicts know, a great case is only great for a short time!

LOL, understood. Well I'm hoping this case seals my collection as complete as this is what I feel is enough:

1 boss leather case (Vaja)
1 boss tough case (Element)
2 leather cases for midweek evenings (black and tan)
2 silicone cases for edc use (ocean blue and cocoa)
1 tough waterproof case for when the environment warrants it (black LifeProof Frē).

I'll be jettisoning the Spigen ultra hybrid v2, the UAG plasma, the playproof, and the generic frosted eBay case thru my YouTube giveaways more than likely.

At any rate, here's a quick video I posted on YouTube about the Element since I didn't see much of any of them when I was thinking about buying it.

I wish I could inventory what all I had.

Sneak peek. Wow. Just wow. /The end

.....see, these Element Cases are just beautiful!!!

HOWEVER, at the prices they are being sold for:

...and then you have to factor in shipping costs to the UK:

.....and additionally, most packages which get shipped from the U.S. to the U.K. ALSO get stung for Customs charges, and suddenly, you're looking at a case which is gonna cost you over $200 which is around £159.

No case is worth that - I don't care how nice it looks...........
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh wow that is such a rugged case..
 
What case should I buy next? Lol Using a black leather case for about a month and now it's boring again . Thinking about another leather case in either Product Red or Saddle Brown, but heard the Red doesn't age well.
 
OMG that's the word lol, I didn't knew how to tell what I didn't like about my all black phone-case setup :)) I'm tired of taking so much care of my leather case and thinking of a silicone one in a more cheerful color now that the spring is comming: a red or a sea blue :)

Yea ive been rubbing olive oil on my black leather for no reason considering the patina doesn't show much on black. Just keeps it soft and helps with "recovering?" from scratches. I think it's brown leather for me, I can't stand the lint using the silicone cases.
 
That rubbing almost every day drives me nuts but at least my hands are soft as well :))) and I never had a silicone case yet.
Saddle brown I think is the best aging :apple: leather case from what I've seen.
