Up until a few weeks ago, I was a flip phone user, however, a relative passed away and I was bequeathed an Iphone 7 plus. It certainly has some interesting features, and I'm sure I'll use it, but I'm having a tricky time finding the right case.
It came with a Gear4 cover, which has a rubberized edge and back, but no front cover. Even though I'm not an iphone user yet, I still know exactly what I'm looking for in a case, but I cannot seem to find it even after much searching. It doesn't help that many accessory manufacturers do not adequately describe the covers they're selling. I can however describe exactly what I want or need in a case based on what I've read so far, and I'm hoping some tech savvy MacRumors members might recommend exact models to buy. Here's my criteria:
1. Rubberized protective edge.
2. Thin protective glass front that does not affect the screen quality (I know there are some plastic fronts, but I would really like glass) that can be replaced if scratched or broken.
3. Retractable stand in the back to allow it to stand up on a desk, preferably in both portrait and landscape orientations if such is available. I have only seen landscape stands on cases.
I did buy a Tucano book style case that protects the front with a flip cover, but I find it inconvenient to hold when taking pictures, and I'd really like to have screen access all the time. I am open to a two stage solution if that is necessary, i.e., buying a case with a stand in the back, and a separate glass cover, but it's unclear how compatible they might be. I have a feeling that this is what some iphone users do, but I'm still pretty vague on this aspect. I would appreciate any insight.
