Just swapped my matte black iPhone 7 32Gb for a JetBlack iPhone 7 128Gb at my local Apple Store. I reserved one online this morning.

Just wanna let future JetBlack owners know that the grip of the JetBlack iPhone is really incredible grippy and nice!
It gives you the feeling if like there is already a very grippy case around the iPhone.
With my iPhone 6S sometimes it felt like if you were holding a soapblock (slippery).
I have never owned a iPhone such grippy (without case duh) as this iPhone 7.

I have AC+ with this JetBlack iPhone.
 
How do you like the glossy finish vs the matte? Are you staying with JB?
 
I am planning to keep my JetBlack iPhone 7. I like the glossy effect of the iPhone, but this is of course very personall
 
I have a reserved JB from Apple to arrive on the 26th, but I already grabbed a MB 256 from Verizon. I have to make a decision before my return period. Hope JB is all that it seems

Careful with that JB word.....many will think, you are all talking about the new jailbreak for IOS 10 :)

Totally agree. Jet Black is the first iPhone Plus model I can actually hold without a case and not feel like it's going to slip out of my hand.

Fingerprints and potential scratches are a trade-off, sure (not experienced either yet), but I see no reason to put a case on this thing. It's ergonomically brilliant.

AppleCare all the way.

and when so many people on the IUP, who cares if the phone gets scratches.
