I'm completely done with Spigen and their ***** quality(control). They make you jump through 500 hoops before you can do a return or have a refund. Even just asking for a replacement part is impossible while you're showing them clear pictures of the issue.
Sticking with UAG next time. I once had an issue with an iPad case and they shipped me a new one after taking a picture of the problem, no further questions asked.

SE Penna.
Waiting to see the new Mophie charge force case in person. I don't need the battery but having a wireless charging case is great for my vehicle.

I've recently gone back to my Shieldon Wallet/folio case for my iPhone 7 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/SHIELDON-L...=1497956258&sr=8-4&keywords=iphone+7+shieldon)

It's so much nicer and more convenient just grabbing ONE item when you leave the house, instead of the usual two (phone and separate wallet) - this one will definitely be a keeper for some time!

I've got the Shieldon case, the one with the magnetic clasp. I never use it as I have to take the phone out of it to put in my charging stand. I used to love the BookBook but 12 south are really crap at releasing their cases. They've only just got around to releasing their 7 Plus cases (don't even think they're out in the UK yet?) and the bloody 8 will be out soon!

Recently got my wife a Playproof after her screen shattered while being in a clear Otterbox Symmetry. Surprised that they have the Playproof in clear now. The grip isn't great but better than before. I might consider them again for myself.

Has anyone gotten the leather ones from Apple? If so, how is/was your experience with it?


I've been using Apple's leather case on my iPhone 7, since the day the iPhone was released - it is a great case (some pics in this post : https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/new-iphone-leather-case.1995056/page-47#post-24742542)

I'm actually currently using a leather case by Nomad (https://www.hellonomad.com/leather-case-iphone-7-rustic-brown) which essentially is exactly like the Apple case, however, Nomad's also covers the bottom of the phone as well whereas Apple's does not.

Nomad did a Midnight Blue and also a black leather case a few months back (I have their Midnight Blue) however, I no longer see this on their website - they seem to now only offer the rustic brown colour??!

Thanks, buddy. Looks like the leather cases are worth it.

The only downside I'd say is the exposed bottom.. I must prefer the SE/5S edition of the leather cases with full coverage!

Although the bottom of the Apple Leather case is exposed there is a slight lip and if dropped straight down it would be protected. Year after year I always come back to the Apple Leather case and this years model is the best yet. The buttons are more responsive than any other case and even better than having no case at all!

Peel case in "regular" black, super thin and lightweight. Barely notice that there is a case around the iPhone.
Obviously, this is just for added scratch resistance. Look elsewhere for drop protection.

Also got the Blackout color, which has a deeper black to it but shows scratches/scuffs a little more.
