Just wondering what would be the best case colour?

I have ordered Midnight Blue leather - it would be pretty discreet.

My wife had the saddle brown on her phone and it got dirty around the edges pretty fast. Seems the lighter colours down wear very well.

What do you guys think would look good?
 
You are covering up the black of the phone... so pretty much ANY color you choose from neon green to a plain black case is going to look good!

So pick YOUR favorite color... the color of the phone doesn't matter... it will be hidden!

Going careless this time around. The phone is just too pretty to be hidden. If all fails, I'll get something clear.
I am tempted, but Ive dropped my current phone a few times outside when getting out of the car - could be dangerous !

I bought a clear rigid case in an Apple store - its so stiff, its really hard to get off and on.

Would you be worried about dust getting inside and causing scratches?

I went with this one for my regular matte black 7. Feels nice. If you get one Get it on eBay not spigen, it's a lot cheaper on eBay. Just make sure to order for the plus. I almost ordered for the plus and I have the regular 7

Yes i can second this. using my matte black 7+ with rugged armor. the case is nice. does not add much bulk to the phone. the texture on the back of the case it grippy.

let's say.. for the matte black, a clear makes it look too shiny. might as well go with a matte black case (thin of course).

clear case to show the matte black iPhone (ends up feeling greasy as most all clear cases do)

the matte black case on the 7 is a Spigen Thin Fit. the feel and texture of it is excellent, btw.

since there wasn't one like this available for the 7 Plus, I ended up ordering something similar from Elago which has fuller coverage, top and bottom (especially around the camera), and is much thinner. still waiting for them to be available for shipping.
