I did, but it's tough to tell how "see through" it really is. Can only see a very little bit of the Apple logo. Not sure if the picture is doing the case justice or not.
That is exactly how it looks. The logo is visible, but just barely.
 
I ordered what I thought to be the latest revision of the case (after all, the iPhone 7 Plus was just released). I did notice how less visible my Apple logo is, but it might be a Jet Black version in the ad. The logo on that model is stainless steel I believe, so it would likely show more than the muted logo of the matte black.

Yeah I just thought it was weird how their picture almost makes it seem like there is an Apple logo cutout on the case. I wish the logo was more visible. I have the matte black as well.

I was interested in this case because I thought it would be fairly transparent with a hint of smoke, but I guess that's not the case unfortunately. I wish the Tozo was available; I had that one on my 6S+ silver and it was pretty transparent, showing off everything nicely.

I wonder if the frosted silver Peel case would do a better job of showing off the matte or if it would clash.

Overall I really like the look of it. The Apple logo isn't easily visible, but that is a non-issue for me. It's tricky, I imagine, to design a case that lets the color of the phone show through easily. If it's going to be crystal clear, then it has to be TPU (I hate the feel and tends to yellow with use) or hard shiny plastic (less grip and easily scratched). I used the lighter version of the Spigen brand of this case on my 6s Plus that was Space Gray, and it looked terrible. To me, this version seems to be the best compromise: shows the beauty of the black matte finish without being easily scratched or TPU.

I'm curious how a tempered edge 2 edge glass screen protector would work with this case. I'm thinking of ordering this one: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-TU...TF8&coliid=I23B0KPZ82I2EA&colid=37VNPVHJKWCUO
