iPhone 7/7+ Jet Black Owners - Will You Buy a Case?

Thanks for the heads up, was searching for one.
Do you happen to know what the optional coverage means? (At the bottom of the product detail) Is it like an additional skin/film?
Edit: Nevermind I figured it out, opting for back skin only on my end.
This looks awesome but am I missing the clear option? Or would I just be buying black for the jet black phone?
I still can't seem to find just a simple bumper for the 7 yet. 
My second option would be a very thin clear skin that extends a bit past the sides so the screen won't touch the surface when faced down....

I have already ordered and received 3 cases for my phone.....Just waiting on the phone now

That's what I got today. I'll have to keep it in the drawer as iPhone not arriving until Sep 26 - Oct 3.
The fingerprint thing. I think a bit overblown.
I remember my black 3Gs, just a quick wipe with shirt or sleeve and the back looked like new again.
Sure you would have to do it often. But I always enjoyed the maintenance side of iphone ownership.

Did you get the matte or gloss finish? I think I'm going to try one of these too.
That's true, a quick wipe does work, but after you wipe it and start holding it again the oils in your hands will get it smudgy and it will likely feel greasy like all other glossy phones feel after use. My biggest problem is even with a case, you will get hairline scratches on the back. Dust gets underneath the case, and as the case moves and is taken on and off it will cause scratches.
Yes, and it will be the first time I ever buy one for my phone. Used to my phones being naked so this will be a change.
I ordered a Spigen clear case from Amazon the day of the announcement and already received it.

It was a cheap option and one that I could have on day one when I get the phone (although it appears that won't be until between Sept. 26th & Oct. 3rd) because I'd probably go nuts with the finger prints as well as need something to be a bit of a bumper protection against falls as my two year old likes to take my phone all the time and I wouldn't want to have the phone in her hands without a least some protection around it.

I ordered the black leather case for my jet black iPhone 7. I am currently using the black leather case on my iPhone 6. It's been great. It adds the perfect amount of grippyness. Without it the iPhone just feels like a bar of soap. And it's held up fine over the past 2 years. I've dropped it a few times and it did take a little chunk out of the corner and I've scratched it a few times with my fingernails but in time they healed up and smoothed over. The main reason for getting the case like I said is for the feel and grip. Every time I take my i6 out of the case before a run (to put in armband) I love to look at how pristine my iPhone still looks. I'm sure I'll do the same with my iPhone 7.
How does it feel? I have been using the Spigen Tough Armor for years and love it, considering switching to the ultra hybrid case.

The concept is perfect but I wouldn't recommend it. I went through 4 of them is less than a year because they stretch slightly after a few weeks and the corners snag and tear like a bad hangnail. I even had one corner crack as a result of me dropping it.
It's got a slight rubber feel to it. It's fairly flexible but not completely flimsily like a silicone case typically is.
My thoughts exactly. This black case seem to be a matte finish for the standard black. If I'm buying the jet black I'd like the case to show it by either being thin and clear or black but some what translucent enough to see the jet black awesomeness.
I'm one who has always gone naked historically speaking, but I did purchase a black Spigen bumper with the clear back (as some others have posted). I just wanted to have something on hand; not sure yet if I'll use it. This is as big a "case" as I'd ever consider using.
