Does anyone know if the 6/6+ and 6s/6s+ cases will fit the 7/7+?

Wondering if I can at least temporarily use my 6+ case until I find a new one I like.
Look at my pictures right above. The camera slot doesn't line up right and with the 7 having a much larger glass and the 7plus having a wider dual camera setup then there will be obstruction in both view and fit.

There's always deals on generic cases on Amazon. Or you can just take a dremel and widen the hole until you get a new case.

Hi it will fit but will block the bottom speakers port and the camera is a bit lower on the newer model, but for a temp use it will be fine.

2 clear and 1 rose gold and i will buy an otterbox for my dad when i call them to makesure hes ok with black defender or want a blue since he has grey's for an long time.

ordering everything early since last time i spent unworthy 70plus dollars since i ordered cases late and didnt arrive in time so i had to buy 4 cases from bestbuy (which they had no choice to choose from). just one 20 dollar case and it was an cheap kind too.

I've been using a luvvitt clear TPU case on my 6 since the get-go, and i may do the same for the 7, but i just may go with the Apple leather case. Especially with the 7 Plus, i like slim sleek cases. Phone is big enough as it is.

Might get that as well. I can get that one before the phone arrives so I won't be without a case.

It's said to arrive on the 16th, so maybe that's a good omen, as far as my phone arriving at launch. In any, um, case, I saw the rugged armor on a Note 7 and fell in love with it.

I'm gonna wait until I get my 7, then I'll probably just go to the Apple store and pick one + protective screen.

I used a Tech21 case I got from Apple for my IP6 and it was the best I've had. Apple has their new Evo Elite but to won;t ship till Oct 2 - so I think I'll stop by BestBuy and grab a cheap $19 Incigno clear. They are in the stores.

I'm currently using the red apple silicone case and the clear tech 21 case for my iPhone 7 matte black. Sometimes, I go naked but mostly when I'm at home. lol

Been naked since Friday, case arrived today. With the iPhone 7 in particular I found it really difficult to pick up from smooth desks and tabletops due to how thin it is and having a rounded edge. I went with the UAG Plasma in the Magma color. Looks great but they re-used their iPhone 6S case mold for the iPhone 7 so they can sell one case for two phones (cheap bastards :p) so, it has a 3.5mm headphone cutout on the bottom.
