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

People pretend like they care so much about the finger prints. Hey newsflash people, half of your phone is glass and has finger prints all day long as you're not complaining about that.

Its just irritating, people throw all reason out the window, for what? Simply because Apple did something different?

Sigh...

So after having my phone in a case for a week it has managed to scratch itself (guessing dirt has got into the case). Now the worst part isn't the back of the phone it seems to be the antenna bands. They're all marked already

Oops, sorry for having a personal opinion...

@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

oh im sorry you got denied,just try again later ,i guess everyone had been in that situation ,i remember was denied once when i tried to buy nokia what a shame that was a long ago when i was a teen, then i just bought it cash it was just like 80$ and using ''pay as you go'' sim card,i was told that i had to build my credit by having credit card from store like walmart,target etc,they said it would help building the credit.

good news that we start to see jet black around sooner than i thought.

I got my phone last Saturday. Kept the original plastic on it until my glossy skin from BestSkinsEver got here. I finally put it on yesterday and I'm impressed. This pic was this morning with less than 24 hours of cure time. Supposed to be fully cured after 48. Phone is really grippy and still allows the jet black gloss to shine through.

You must tell me more of this clear skin.

Has anyone encountered damage to their jet black surface while it was in a case?

Jet Black 7+. Used it caseless since launch.

Fingerprints haven't been an issue for any longer than it takes to grab a microfiber cloth and wipe them away (which I did with all my phones at night anyway).

I have to really, really look closely to spot any micro abrasions. There's a couple there upon microscopic inspection, but nothing noticeable.

Very happy to keep using this thing caseless, and so delighted I went for the JB. Not having to use a case because of the grippiness of the material far outweighs the disadvantages, for me.

this!

This was the main reason to swap my matte black for a jetblack iPhone 10 days ago. The grip is phenomanal of my jetblack iPhone. And just like you, after 10 days no visible scratches or what so ever.

And fingerprints; I dont care, I use a microfibre cloth or my t-shirts. Both dont give me any scratches.

Next year I hope Apple make vantablack an option. No more fingerprints or anything. Flash might not work but hey...

I get my 7+ JB today! Will absolutely not be using any type of case or skin on it so I will keep this thread updated with how horrific my phone will most likely NOT end up looking with normal day to day use :D.

My JB 7+ should be here tomorrow, and I have a backup MB coming next week... Still having big issues deciding between the two! I love the look and exclusivity of the 'hero' colour but also appreciate the stealthiness of the matte black.

It's going to happen for anyone who uses a clear tpu case without any microfiber lining. Debris gets in between the phone and the case and runs over time. It even damages the old aluminum finish

My case I think is doing more harm then good... I took it off and saw some lint etc, daily use "debri".. used some tape to take it out and oddly got a slight scratch that's noticeable in bright bright light direct. Otherwise, going very well
