Just received the case in the mail earlier this morning.
Good looking case, nice fit in the hand, and on the 7 Plus. Because of not being able to hold one before buying i thought, from all the pic's online, that it would be a bulky case. Not at all. It's not in a Thin Line case category, but just seem's to be a bit thicker, but not by much.
There's a couple of thing's i didn't like. Rattling screws and the slightly loose fit at the volume controls. Should have been a little tighter around volume up and down button's. I remembered so many people complaining about the screw's, so some time after i put the case on i shook the phone, and rattle rattle rattle. I don't think i'll ever walk around shaking the phone all day long. Normal use i couldn't hear a thing.
There's a round cut out on the bottom left speaker because the case also fit's a 6s+, but when i picked it up to look at it all i could think of was why was everyone complaining about it. I would have preferred the case to be made specifically for the 7 plus, but in real time seeing the cut out didn't bother me a bit, unless i walk around telling every one to look at this hole.
The back is a little slick on the armor frame, but my finger's seem to find the indentation where the leather is placed, and i get a good grip one, or two handed. It's comfortable.
What i like best are the edges's around the face of the screen. I don't know the height, but i have a glass screen protector on, and there is enough extra height, that i don't worry about if i drop it face first.
I purchased mine from Best Buy online. They send an e-mail to confirm your purchase, and that e-mail said sorry but there will be a delay on shipping date. When i ordered it was to be delivered on 10/8, but their e-mail they sent after i ordered, was delivery date of 10/28. I went back on line to cancel my order, but it was already in the processing stage, so you couldn't cancel. Won't get into it, but their a pain in the butt. I did get it on 10/8.
After i got the delayed e-mail from BB, i sent an e-mail to UAG customer service. Maybe 30 minute's later they replied. I had seen that on the site they were offering Free 2 day shipping two day's before, then the day before it was Pre Order?

Thanks for reaching out to Urban Armor Gear Support Team!
To confirm, we have the iPhone 7 Plus Monarch case in stock and ready to ship on order:
Note, US orders normally take 5-10 business days for delivery. If you placed an order today, you would likely receive it sometime between 10/14 - `10/21.
We hope this information helps
This was excellent response time. I do like their customer service.
I had placed one in my cart not knowing what to do. Then a few hour's later they sent me another e-mail offering 5% off if i ordered in the next 48 hour's. Since i didn't want two case's coming, i decided to wait on BB.
Speck Presidio Grip Case: I did buy this the same day i placed my order with BB, because of all the good review's. It is a great fit on the 7+, but that's about all. The edge around the screen is just a bit taller than the screen. I had to look at it closely, laid a pen across it, and could see it's definitely a problem for me. As i read more review's i started seeing that when laid flat on a table, camera side down, it would wobble. It more than wobble's. I thought maybe it was the line's across the back, or the camera cut out. NO it was warped. From the top of the case to below the camera cut out, when laid flat, with no phone inserted, there was a lot of day light. When the phone is inserted not as much, but it still wobble's because of it.
I'm really sorry for this long post, but i go through the same thing every time i get the next iPhone. What case(because very few retail), screen protector, when to buy or pre order the phone. I think next time i'll wait for the phone until i get every thing else first...haha
