Update from Magpul on iPhone 7 cases

Yeah they seem to have already dropped by now. Definitely plan to order some as soon as they are available.

Tee is one of my favorite reviewers. I'll wait til he reviews it. I prefer the Bump case though.

"Satisfying click"
 
My IP7 field case in ODG is currently out for delivery! I ordered it on Saturday afternoon, shipped the same day via USPS First Class from CA to PA. Talk about speedy delivery!

This should be similar to previous field case versions, just spec’d out for the IP7/IP7+.

BTW, I checked with Magpul and there are no plans for a bump case for the IP7/IP7+.

The bump case for the iPhone 6 is awesome.

This is a fact. I thought the Magpul Bump case fit nicely on my 5s but the Bump case for my new 6s fits way better! It's the only case I am buying for my 6s and for me, that's unheard of as I normally buy multiple cases for a phone.

What's the difference between the bump case and a regular case?
Click to expand...

The Magpul Field case is constructed of only one material. The Magpul Bump case is constructed of two materials bonded together as one piece. The outer shell is harder and stiffer while the inner liner is a softer material that absorbs shock better than the outer shell. They are both good cases but the Bump provides an increased level of protection against shock. There has also been some complaints about the Field case in regards to stretching and developing a loose fit on the phone over time while the Bump cases hasn't shown this weakness. The Bump case cost more but in my opinion is well worth it.

Yea true about stretching, that's why I much prefer the bump case. It's built that it won't stretch and isn't too much more than the field case. The bump case is the only case I need. But I have an iPhone 7.

Thanks! I have an old 5S I need to use for work sometimes so I think I'll pick up a bump case for it then.
 
I received my IP7 field case; color ODG in good order. I love the army greenish color! It's similar to previous field case versions, just spec’d out for the IP7/IP7+ (updated camera cutout and no headphone jack). I'm happy to report that there is NO sharp ridge at the top edge of the lip.

I'm getting conflicting info on the bump case for the IP7/IP7+. I emailed Magpul yesterday and they said there are no plans. I know someone who called Magpul directly and they said the bump case will be released mid to late April.

Nice vid review my friend!

One thing to note: there is NO sharp ridge at the top edge of the case. The sharp ridge was quite annoying when placing the phone up to your ear to make a phone call.
 
All these first run Magpul cases for the iPhone 7 Plus are defective and cover up 4 of the speaker holes on the bottom of the phone. Here's a picture.

Thanks man I appreciate it and you are right, I do remember that very sharp ridge on the top of the phone.
 
Anyone know where I can order the Magpul case with the revised speaker holes? The one I ordered from Amazon is the one coverign the holes :(
