Do not deride me too much, but I still use an iPhone 7 and after many years of love my beloved original case has broken.

Could somebody please explain to me how well the current Apple iPhone SE leather case fits on the iPhone 7? It states that it is compatible, but I noticed that the dimensions have changed marginally and surely the camera has changed in both design and size too?

It would be profoundly useful if somebody could possibly take some photos for me too, particularly around the camera? It is easy to find photos of iPhone 7 cases on a 2020 SE, but not the other way around!

Thank you in advance! If you are reading this, have a great day!
 
When you look for iphone 7 compatible cases on Apple's site, the Iphone se cases pop up and when you check the page for the leather se case at the bottom under compatibility it lists the 8 and 7 as well.

The phone body dimensions are bigger on the se by fractions of mm, like 0.1-0.2 mm bigger for the se. I couldn't imagine it would make much of a difference which is why I figure Apple lists it as compatible.

Buy it, try it out, if you don't like it, return it. Just make sure you get it from somewhere that accepts returns.

Order online or go pick it up at a store. If there's not an apple store around I think alot of Best Buys should have them in stock if you're in the U.S. and you live near one.
