What case is everyone getting for their iPhone 7/7+?

Not sure if this question has been asked...I'm looking to get the iPhone 7+ in Jet Black but I want a case that will offer protection against not only drops but one that shows the phones true color and won't scratch it underneath.

Any thoughts??

That looks tough. How's the weight?

So I ordered this case again and this time they sent me the right color. I love it. Coolest case I've ever had on a phone. It's roughly the same size as the defender but slimmer and heavier.

Put the otterbox way but it's up for sale if anyone wants it

Wow! Please show us a pic when you get it. Looks tough too. What about the weight?

Otterbox symmetry, Speck Presidio, LifeProof Nude or Fre, etc. But again, I suggest visiting the stores so you can compare, feel, base on your activities, which case will satisfy your need.

Got this case today. Really like it but doesn't offer screen down protection. Cleaned inside before putting on phone and plastic "scuffed" but super grippy and like it's feel in hand.

That looks cool!

I want to try one of these. Had a D&B case for my 6 and liked it a lot but always hated it's bulk. Figure 7/7+ is already water resistance so this would just be "extra" protection in what appears to be a small package?

Someone try it for me lol

Not to insult DogNBone but that looks like a pretty standard clear tpu/plastic case with an e2e screen protector. Nothing really stands out from any other case/TGSP combo, and IMO definitely not work $60!

I've never purchased a DNB case, but here's what I've noticed about cases in this market: there's a big difference between looks and the fit, feel, performance. Many of these cases look very similar in forum photos, but when you get them into your hands and really examine them, the differences are immediately and strikingly evident.

Also, huge difference between cases that offer "drop protection" with lots of over-the-top claims, and cases/case makers that have actual drop ratings. Evolutive Labs and DNB are typically the latter.

Sometimes, expensive cases are garbage. Other times, cheap cases are nice. Generally though, the devil is in the details.

On their amazon ad they say it weighs 280 grams. It is hefty, it's made of metal and rubber. It's def the most solid feeling case I've ever used.

Some pics I just took below. It's a very Batman looking case especially the all black version.

They must took some inspiration from element case but so much uglier. Actually, one of the ugliest case I've ever seen. I'll kill myself before I put that on my phone😱😉

What cases work good with an e2e screen protector? I'm using a spigen slim armor with a case fit tempered glass, and would like to go e2e, but research has told me that this case won't work with an e2e.

The case is nice, good texture and protection. My main gripe is the sides are curved. Would prefer flat edges, I find it more comfortable to hold. Don't want bulk either.

Thanks!
