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.
Did the strap come with it? Or where did you get the strap if separate?
they're just straps I've accumulated over the years from other cases, small camera devices and pouches. there should be plenty online that are cheap though.
Gotcha. The holes for the strap to loop through seem pretty small, but workable.
yeap, definitely on the small side. I think typical for what you usually find for phones.
Amazon has many options at pretty cheap prices (for example):

I have been tempted to pick this up. I normally use my Apple leather case, but there are times where I need a bit more protection. I got the Otterbox Statement and a Speck Presidio Grip, and each one had their share of issues. I just wanted something fairly slim with more protection than the Apple case provides.
Anyone had these leather cases before?

IF you have a black iPhone, can you please post pics of the UAG Plasma Ash with your iPhone in it?
Every picture I've seen of the UAG Plasma cases have white iPhones pictured with it and I would like to know how it looks on a black iPhone.
Thanks

I can't decide between the Ash or the Magma for my 7. I keep going back and forth but still can't settle on a decision yet.
So I have no way to take a picture but I came home to my wife having bought me the Pathfinder and put my phone in it and decided to use it instead. Unfortunately now since I lost the box and receipt I have the Plasma in which I will try to sell somewhere for like $20-$25. The black phone looks GREAT in it though because that is what I have.
I have purchased a few and the three that I like best are:
The top left one, It's a soft clear TPU case. It fits well, adds some protection to the jet black and I like that the LED flash fills the case.
The bottom right, a Spigen black TPU case
The middle bottom left, an ultra slim case
The rest of the cases are either overpriced, garbage or overpriced garbage.
Don't buy a case from https://buypeel.com/ or https://shumuri.com/products/slim-extra-iphone-7-minimal-design?variant=28529284614.
You can get the same kind of case on Amazon for a fraction of the cost. The elago I linked to is one of them.
The custom case is from www.skinit.com and is also overpriced garbage. It feels like I'm going to break the phone every time I put it on or take it off.

Anybody has this Nillkin case? It has built in magnet for use with phone holders.

Right now, my main case is the apple red leather case. I loved my leather (black) case for my 6+ so definitely wanted to get one for the 7+. It's perfect for me. Leather looks and feels great without the bulk.
I also have this jack spade case which makes the phone more bulkier imo but in a good way. Feels more "protected". It looks good and something different. However, having this black phone, I found I saw more lint on the front sides of the case which can be a bit annoying.
I have a fun snap on case on its way from red bubble. So looking forward to receiving that one.

Thanks for the heads up. I used the case for maybe a week or so until I got the red leather and didn't have any issues thankfully. I found the jack spade case too heavy in comparison to my other two cases so I probably won't be using it much.
If my experience is anything to go by, I'd recommend the Enther clear case for the iPhone 7. Only US$9.99 from Amazon and worth every penny. I'd also recommend the Incipio DualPro for iPhone 7, but that case might be a tad thick for many users and costs around US$24 from Amazon.
I have this Nillkin case for my iPhone 6, exactly for the same reason that it has a built-in metal plate (for the magnetic holder in the car). Can't complain, just a hard plastic case, edges a bit rough on my fingers, but it's hard plastic after all.
Nillkin has some well-designed products. I bought a regular-looking TPU case for the iPhone 7 Plus, but the special feature is that it has two strips on the side to prevent slipping out of your hands. It also has the lightning port plug, but it's really the two side strips that made me buy it. Still in transit though.
when I do my street photography, I'm so used to having my camera strap around my wrist. it might bug some people though. since I usually tend to keep my phone at hand than having it in pocket, it's a nice assurance that you won't drop it. it's already there, and the strap is light enough that you don't really even notice it.
I usually have them on my phones...

these Incipio Octane Pure cases didn't have a spot for a strap, but I put one anyway.
Have this case, dont feel flimsy, but less grippy on the side due to the smooth surface.
is it bulky/heavy? It looks cool and I have used Nillkin before, they are definitely good quality.
