I've got an iPhone 6 right now and have an Otterbox Commuter Wallet case for it. I love it because it protects like an Otterbox but has a slide-out tray that I have managed to fill with four various cards (two credit, 1 ID, 1 insurance). I don't like carrying around a wallet because I'm forgetful. My phone I have a tendency to not leave (I'm sure many others keep their eyes on a $750 phone), and I have some kinda-working devices to locate keys if I lose them.

So the problem is Otterbox decided to not make this same case for the iPhone 7. The company has some modular case that would cost about $70 to outfit with a wallet/card attachment. But you get to choose between black, black, black, black and black, and it looked like a few reviewers had troubles with cards slipping out.

So far the one I found that I like best from the description is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KUFTXYI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A19R3BN6ZSO9A1&th=1

Honestly this one almost made me go switch my phone from silver to rose gold. They look really nice, but since I am getting a silver phone (I didn't switch because I didn't want to give AT&T an excuse to not give me my $650 in credits) none of the colors really match. I got a silver/white iPhone because I like that look, and I'd really like to avoid all black or black/grey. My case now is white/grey, very similar to the phone.

So if anybody has recommendations, I'd love to hear them. I don't want to get one of the pseudo-wallet cases that flip open like a leather wallet. I had one for my iPhone 6. One time I used it as a level in my bathroom. I then left it up while walking away to get tools to finish hanging a shelf. Crunch. $130 or whatever later, the screen was fixed. So I need protection from my dumb self. Thanks!
