Not using a case. It's going to get scratched at some point but I'm pretty careful with my phones. I got AC+ so if something major happens I'm covered anyway.

Two of my fellow engineers at work have Jet Black Plus models they're using without cases. It's very impressive just how durable they are.
i know right? i just think that some people exagerate about how it scratch easily, but i would still use a case though cos no matter what color i have i always use a case

This ^^^. Unfortunately I'm going to get the MB cause I simply can't wait that long for the JB :( and everyday there's a MB 7+ available in my nearest apple store so I'm going to try to apply for the IUP saturday morning. I like both so it's not a big deal for me. Of course my love for the JB is still here LOL. I hope they extend my return period until the JB becomes available so I can switch it out.

Yes I use a Spigen Ultra Slim on my Space Gray 128GB iP6S+ just to keep it fresh and new.

These two guys aren't particularly easy on their Jet Black 7's and that's why I'm so impressed.

As much as I'd like to do that I'm not sure if apple would allow me to exchange it if it's past 14 days, I'll be sure to ask them that though when I'm in the store. What model/size did you order your JB in?

This is true but what's more important is that I get approved, otherwise I won't be getting the 7 plus at all LOL. and that's great, happy birthday to you!

The finger prints on the Jet Black (without a case), would drive me bonkers!

they aren't as bad as people make it out to be :p that ugly iPhone with smeared fingerprints is a result of tens & thousands of people touching all over it, a majority of those people not having the cleanest of hands.
[doublepost=1475287101][/doublepost]
approved? you mean your credit? well i hope you get approved,if not you could still buy the full price

Yeah and I'm running on a budget so I can't afford to pay full price for it upfront, I'm 19 & my credit is not excellent but it is average, I was told people with low credit scores actually got approved at least 3 times within a week so I'm hoping my experience turns out the same.

That's incredible. I never went through that experience cause by the time I was thinking about getting a phone it was already available, for the most part of my life my parents never really let me get a smartphone (I don't know why LOL, out of everyone in my family I'm the most tech savvy) I've been using a trac phone since i was a kid until i turned 18 last year and got a job. By then the 6s plus has been out there for months so I was able to get it right away, so this is my first time waiting a considerable amount of time :p

I've been VERY cautious with mine without a case, but it does have a small microabrasion near the bottom and there's actually a pretty noticeable scratch now near the Apple symbol =( I never set it down on anything that could cause it, so weird!

Still very happy with the phone though.

One thing to keep in mind is you can get a partial refund from Apple for unused AppleCare+. Meaning, if after 12 months I upgrade to the next iPhone, I can call Apple and have them issue a refund for the remaining 12 months that I won't need.

Also the existing one year coverage doesn't account for damaged screens or any other user accidents you could think of.

Thanks. I did not know Apple refunded the remaining 12 months....

@esteli I got denied :( "Ineligible for apple offers" such a bummer. However I think this is the universe telling me to hold out cause I'm starting to see a lot of JB iPhone 7's available in my city

http://imgur.com/a/lP7ue

That's just one store, there's 3 other stores with JB I7's available, maybe the plus will be in stock sooner than I thought :) I'll try again in a week or so
