Any Matte Black Owners with Buyers Remorse and wish they got Jet Black?

Not in the least. I'm very OCD about my phone and can't stand smudges and scratches on the casing. I have my matte black secured in a heavy duty case along with a tempered glass screen protector.

I guess so. Either the op has a really big one, or he's just compensating.

I saw a jet black today in person finally, I liked how dark it was but I wouldn't buy one. It reminded me so much of the iphone 5c backs, that's good and bad for me. It was definitely grippier, but to me it reminded me of plastic and it definitely showed a lot of prints. But I could see why a lot love it, nice looking phone but I'm happy with the plain black.
Went to the Apple Store today and spent some time gawking at the JB iPhone 7. While it looks nice and feels almost rubbery in texture, I wouldn't be able to deal with the micro abrasions on the phone. The store model wasn't as bad as I had anticipated, but there were definitely visible scratches along with the micro abrasions.
Perfectly happy with my MB 7. I already notice the coating around the lighting port chipping so that's a bummer, but it was bound to happen with wear and tear anyways.

I had an MB plus, although I decided after comparing the two that I wanted JB. The online order period was too long, and I only had 2 days left on my return period.
The mass JB Apple Store release happened. Was able to snag a JB 256GB Plus. Lucky timing.

Ordered a MB because the JB slip date had shipped. Got the MB on launch day, then last Friday Apple Stores were flush with the JB model, so I picked one of those up. I'm using both (I have two lines of service--work and personal), but not sure which one I want to keep (6s Plus is sitting SIM-less on the nightstand). I'll probably keep both and just sell the 6s Plus.
I know there is a good portion of the MR community that got the MB version because JB was so backlogged on preorder day. So who has buyers remorse and wish they waited it out for the JB version?
Now that JB 7+ owners are getting their phones, seems like they are happy they got JB over MB.
All the JB needs is a transparent skin and you're set.
Now where's the link for the skin
Do nopt care about if the phone was shiny of matt. I always go for the black bezels, the case hides the rest.
Man, that would be the best color of all time. That's why I bought the Product Red silicon case, I love the bright red look. I don't use the case except on special events (i.e. going to a theme park), but I love the color and the way it looks on my Jet Black when I do use it.
Be warned that the fine prints on the back of your jb iPhone will come off with the skin when you remove it. There was a thread on this with photos.
Orderd the jet black, second thoughts creeped in, then canceled it, and waited for the Matte black. I went to the Verizon store, found a matte black and very happy with it. Saw the jet black in person while picking up the matte black, and was not very impressed with it.
I was torn between the two...loved the jb look more than the mb...but it was the feel that determined it for me. Not that the jb felt worse per say....and it was definitely grippier...but I was always partial to the cold metal feeling...and the jb just didn't have that for me. Ended up with a mb 256 7+...it was going in a case regardless.
Thought about going jb if i had any reason to return my newly setup mb. Meh, it's fine, semi-gloss if you will.
