I put my JB in a clear Spigen case I had for my 6S to see and it looked like crap. The black shows every little speck of anything inside or on the case. A skin is the way to go for JB.

I dunno...a skin doesn't provide enough drop protection for me. And I've dropped my 6s probably about 15-20 times in the year I've had it.

But hey, if it works for you...that's all that matters.
 
All these people sending back their jet black and all I want is mine. Did people not realize that jb will get fingerprints and small scratches? I know this and I'm okay with it. I just want mine!
 
IMO it's unavoidable.

Even if you completely baby it from day one, Jet Black will still get micro-scratches from dust/debris that gets in the case over time or even from the friction that comes from removing your phone from the case every now and then to clean.

ive already had tons of dust/debris get caught between my jet black and the case jus from putting it on my seat or on my desk at work/home... ive removed the case and have cleaned it off with a micro fiber.. not one single scratch..

I agree. The MB that my buddy had also was in a Spigen CC and it was full of fingerprints too. Have to baby the case too.

Good... all these replies are good info.

Thanks. Keep it coming guys. You'll help a lot of others here too.

Haha. Thats one way to look at it. Interesting!

I will get a pick for you later tonight, but it looks just as it would without a case....

I'm looking for pics of clear skins on the JB 7 also. What brand did you go with? I have a BestSkinsEver coming soon for mine.

There's a place in my local mall that does it, there website is moutfitters.com. Can't really tell there's anything on it apart from when it gets a bit of dust caught on the edge of the film, easy to clean off though...
 
I am doing the blasphemous thing and putting a glow in the dark skin on my JB+ when I get it. Mostly because the White with JB accents looks like a stormtrooper and that makes me happy.

Yeah I've applied a handful of wet-apply clear skins over the years to my phones, but they're all regular matte anodized aluminum. This would be the first glossy phone I've tried it on and was wondering if it looks as good as naked (like hopefully smooth, w/o the orange peel effect). Thx
 
Swapped my matte black iPhone 7 for an jetblack iPhone 7, yesterday at my local Apple Store.

This jetblack iPhone is a masterpiece design.
And then the grip, its phenomanal.
Out of all my iPhones ever owned (3GS/4/4S/5/5S/6/6S) this is the most grippiest iPhone (without case ofcourse).

It really gives you a real grippy feeling. Not like for example the iPhone 6S, that felt sometimes like you're holding a soapbloack ;)

Am going caseless and AppleCare+

I really hate about 98% of all those ugly cases and protectors.

I'm not super concerned about drops this time around since I did the Apple IUP which includes AppleCare. Especially since they lowered the screen replacement fee to $29.

Very nice. This is my plan as well.
[doublepost=1474721903][/doublepost]Here is another Jet Black in a skin. Posted on Twitter.

That's not a skin, it's a clear case. You can see "feet" on the corners.

I've got a white silicone apple case for my jb +, and a couple clear cases, I think a clear case with black bumper looks good (still waiting on my phone) , I also ordered nanostates jet black anti scratch liquid and their liquid sapphire for the screen
 
That is a case, but the best looking clear case I have seen yet.
Yeah, you're right about that being a case... But are we looking at a Rose Gold phone (box in the back, rose gold logo, rose gold around camera lens) with a black skin PLUS a clear case?? So confused :D

Looks great, thanks for the pics. Have any pics of the skin seams around the edges of the phone? Is this a BSE skin? Thx
