For anyone that doesn't want a brown leather case; I just ordered the gray Nomad leather case for my matte black iPhone 7 plus from Best Buy online.

I have been using the Apple leather case and it has proven tough. The bottomless coverage allows for bumps to the bottom of the iPhone and allows for scuff. Which unfortunately I have done, lucky i suppose.

After 2 weeks of not receiving a response from Tech21, I took to Twitter, where I received an immediate response. Then it took 2 more days to get a response to my claim. They are sending me out a replacement case. I'll let you know if the fit is any different at all when it arrives.

Had the caseology wavelength case and I have to say, I loved it being the first case I had for my 7, but now using the Ocean Blue silicone case from Apple and I'm in love again.

Got the Tech21 Evo Mesh for my 7+, hopefully Mophie will release a juice pack for the 7+ soon though as I normally use those

After a lot of research, i ended up ordering from Amazon Otterbox Symmetry in black. Most reviews are saying that it offers great protection and adds minimum bulk...*shrug*

Hey, everyone! I am awaiting the arrival of my 7+! Anyone tried the X-Doria brand--in particular, the Impact Pro? I already ordered a Speck Presidio; but wanted a less expensive, yet strong clear case. It is only like 13 bucks. Is it a waste of money?

The words "OtterBox" and "minimum bulk" don't go together.
What do you mean?

I love the Speck presidio grip for the 7+. However, it's really ****ing expensive. Are there any others like it that arent as expensive? Any sales or anything on it?

View attachment 665794 View attachment 665795 View attachment 665796 View attachment 665797 Here's the UAG Metropolis folio case I received today for my iPhone 7. I'll be honest....this might be the best and my favorite case I've ever used for any iPhone. I love this case so much that I cancelled orders for the 2 cases that I was expecting next week (Caseology Wavelength & Supcase Unicorn Beetle).

UAG redesigned this case from the 6/6S version sold last year. It's way slimmer and feels lighter. It fits like a glove and it's made from "frog skin" material that is water resistant. The inside pocket is smooth, buttery suede-like material that holds 1-2 cards/IDs firmly.

There is a magnetic clasp (works great) that securely keeps the front lid in place and it's super easy to open (sliding mechanism) and close. Flawless execution on UAG's part IMO.

There is a speaker cut-out on the front lid which is great because you can talk on your iPhone with the flap/lid closed. The camera cut-out in the back is generous with no flash feedback whatsoever.

Never been a fan of previous UAG cases (Pathfinder, Plasma, Monarch, etc) but the Metropolis is a definite winner. I've already ordered a cobalt blue one to go along with this black one.

Also in case of anyone wants to know, the glass screen protector is Zagg HD Glass+. I purchased it after seeing Kristin's YouTube review of it for her iPhone 7 Plus and it definitely lives up to the hype. Premium look, feel and performance. Easy to install and the oleophobic coating is amazing. No fingerprint oils or smudging whatsoever. It's not E2E but I wasn't looking for nor do I prefer a screen protector that is E2E. Not cheap but the quality is on point - unlike the majority of the cheaper ones on Amazon.

Hi guys!
So far I have a caseology case off amazon that's pretty nice and cheap (iPhone 7 Plus Case, Caseology [Parallax Series] Modern Slim Geometric Design [Black / Deep Blue] [Textured Grip] for Apple iPhone 7 Plus (2016) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKWFDVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_v38ayb9D8Q0B5).
I originally had the dark blue apple case but it was to slick and would slide out of my pocket
I ordered this one recently and like. I to am addicted to cases. I have this case https://casefather.com/products/original-carbon-slim-shockproof-iphone-7-7-case?variant=31323166218
On my matte black 7+ 256gb

got that nomadic lifestyle
so after settling on the Spigen Thin Fit which has the area for the magnetic plate, I still wanted one similar but with fuller coverage.

I think I found it. decided to try the Ringke SLIM...

I was surprised not to see or even feel a bulge from the thin magnetic plates I used

it's definitely thinner than the Thin Fit, and doesn't feel as grippy/rubbery, but because of that, it doesn't get as greasy. overall, it satisfies most of what I want. the one thing that bugs the heck out of me is the slightly crooked Branding on the back of my Plus case.

Love the look of that.

I have 18 cases and the one I have settled on right now is the Otterbox Symmetry. It doesn't add a ton of bulks and fits on the device like a glove. Def the best case Otterbox has ever made IMO. Just too expensive.
