So, the 7 plus (and 7 regular for my wife) is going to be the first iPhone I've ever bought and I'd like to get a nice case for it. Nearly everything I've found so far, with very few exceptions, looks like a garbage design from the late 2000's. Generally, it looks like something I'd expect a middleschooler would enjoy seeing on their own device.

Can you please recommend some brands or styles of cases that aren't garbage and really add to a premium look/feel of the phone? I don't particularly like leather as it adds a lot of bulk, and I don't think it would go well with the design of the phone anyway... but brushed metal is top notch, or anything styled well.

An example of a "nice" case, which is only made for the 6/6s, would be this:

Clean. Classy. Simple. Also, amazingly, $10 on amazon!

Example of garbage design:
(nevermind the words, just notice the enormous, bizarre cutout)
