For me, it's easy: the Symmetry isn't drop-rated and the PlayProof is. I've seen some INSANE videos of people absolutely abusing their phones in PlayProofs while the phones come away unscathed.
Got a tip for us?

I have both the Symmetry and Playproof cases. The Symmtery is a way superior case than the Playproof.
The Playproof is nothing more then a cheap feeling, thin plastic case.
This is just my opinion.
this is where I stand as well. The durability is off the chart and it is much smaller than the OB
Interesting points. How would you say the Symmetry is superior exactly? (I haven't owned one.)
Regardless of your feelings, the PlayProof is quite obviously not cheap quality plastic. That's been fairly objectively proven in multiple sources and cases
The logo doesn't bother me so much but the Lip of the case may not be firm but it's never going to sag like the cases where the rest of the case is hard and the bottom lip is a flimsy piece of rubber. The Otterbox rubber is sturdy and will never sag.
I would feel a hundred times safer dropping the 7 plus in the Symmetry than the Playproof. The Symmetry just feels much more robust than the Playproof.
The buttons on the 7 plus Symmetry are still hard to push.
I get my 7 Plus on Saturday and I already bought 3 cases for it.
(It's this design, not the one in the image obviously because that's not for the 7 Plus)
Apple Silicone Case. Found it for $17 bucks new.
and a clear case from Five Below

Well, I wish I had my case when I bought my phone because I got my 7plus on Monday and on Tuesday I ****ing dropped it and chipped and scratched it on the bottom corner. £919! Ruined in one day! I tried my luck at the Apple Store and told them it was damaged when I got it and they told me they didn't believe me but replaced it anyway. Thank god.
I've now got a Quad Lock case for my 7 Plus. I had one for my 6 and I got it because you can't get different adapters for it and I can secure it to my dashboard in my car and it doesn't fall off ever unlike every other dash phone holder I had. It also saved my phone from hundreds of drops over the last 2 years as its a really solid case. But its really slim too.
I've got a 10% discount code for anyone who Is interested http://quadlock.refr.cc/LT6WF79. I've got a couple of universal adapters stuck on my bathroom wall too for when I'm in the shower. I also stuck a universal lock adapter to my galaxy tab s so I can watch Netflix in the bath. It's got different adapters for cycling and running too.

Just thinking about the one time I drop my jet black 7+.
I've already got a tiny scratch (Looks silver) by the charging port from I don't remember where. Boo. My luck.
Yeah I kind of regret getting the Black 7 Plus because the scratches will show so easily as they'll all be silver. I just think that the white iphones look really tacky in black cases and the case I want only comes in black.
What's this case?Just thinking about the one time I drop my jet black 7+.

It's slightly off on the cutouts. For the price though, it feels really great.

Where did find the silicone case for so cheap? Do share!
Either teejaysyke is getting scammed or it's a fake like these cases that you can find on eBay for around 17 USD.
There's no logical reason for anyone to sell a "new" and original iPhone case for one third of the price.
I got it from this link

It could be fake, if it is oh well, I'll return it, but all signs and his rating point to it being real, but we'll see. The UPC on the page matches up with the UPC from Target and Sprint and other retailers
If you look at the feedback comments, you'll see that some people have recognised the cases as fake, albeit good fake cases.
Eh, maybe so, but the thousands of positive reviews versus the negative gives me a good feeling. Even if it is fake, I won't spend more than $25 on a case so it'll do.
I completely understand that. keeping my fingers crossed that the case will be awesome!
