Spigen has high res photos of the new iphones

Didn't one of the major accessory makers get stung a few years back by releasing cases early and then they got the design wrong? I'm 99.9% sure and will try to find something...

"Accessory makers have lost out in the past by betting on form factors that never saw the light of day, making this a risky proposition. In 2011, Hard Candy ordered $50,000 worth of production molds based on a rumored teardrop design for the device that would eventually become the quite rectilinear iPhone 4s"

Whoa, was yeeeeears ago! Things have probably changed then...

Yup, this was also mentioned a few posts back.

It'd be a shame if the iPhone became even thinner...also with a quick search on Amazon, many iPhone 7 cases have been posted. Makes you wonder...

Would a company like Spigen make these if they were not 100% sure?

A few posts above have shown how a company like that has made cases before when they supposedly were sure (or perhaps weren't sure and just gambled) and basically lost money.

Put in orders for one of each of the Ultra Hybrids (7 & 7 Plus) on Amazon-can then choose which one I'm going to go for and then sell the other one off.

For £2.99 it's a no brainer.

The 7 Case arrived today - looks pretty smart.

So you want to put your £700 phone inside a piece of junk that costs £2.99? Interesting.

I'd hardly call a Spigen product a piece of junk, but when it normally retails at £9.99 and if it protects that £700 phone, then it's money well spent.
 
The same case from speigen I bought last year for 99p because I pre ordered is the same case I have on mine now. So I'm very tempted to buy the same one for the 7 plus that's 3.99. As price will only go up to 9.99 no doubt when it's released.
 
Just ordered this for 3.99...guess I will be upgrading

I love Spigen cases, and I'll be buying another when I upgrade my phone in a couple of weeks. I've been using a "SlimArmorS" on my 5S for three years now and it has saved me from drops a couple of times. It's not so thin that it feels useless and not so thick that you feel like you're carrying a brick around. It's a perfect sized case for the thickness of a 5S/SE.
 
Just bought two of their iPhone 7 cases!

I currently use a Tough Armor Volt on my 6, and love the Wireless Charging ability (also have the F600W Charging Pad) and hoping they implement this into the 7's case real soon.
 
Ordered a Liquid Crystal for the 7 Plus which will arrive tomorrow.

Used one on my 6S Plus all year and love it.
