I saw this yesterday. First off I want the ZAGG screen for the new IP8+, the 40.00 version which is extremely durable is on sale at Best Buy for 19.99. I can do that.

From what I can see the IP 7+ cases will fit iP8+, just the slight update in the packaging to show IPhone 8+ compatible
Black silicone has always been my fave for my iP6+, Apple store has them, 39 still.
Walmart (ugh I hate that store) does have a black leather , other colors on sale right now...few bucks off
Some iP7+ cases
were on "clearance" at Target in selected colors...like black for 15 bucks! Some were showing the price of $35. But there is only one Target store that carries black silicone, maybe a bright yellow (not for me) - only says "2 left" That price jumped to 38 again as of this morning...
The previous post though of "get a durable one - Reason: the back glass back, which may make the phone more fragile (despite Apple's claims on using the strongest glass material available). "
- Yeah I'm thinking more on that level also!
Ive always been pretty good not dropping the iP6+, only 2 times! Both times I felt very lucky because of the way it hit the concrete..top right corner - both times! . Silicone case only got a tiny nick but no screen crack. If I did this again with that glass back..Im not sure if I'd be so lucky next time. That back glass replacement I assume will be a very costly repair, aggravation I do not need..
