I got one of these off of amazon for like $8. I can look up the exact one if you want. Got the frosted grey color. Perfect fit. Only complaint is you can't really see the apple logo unless you're in good light but thats not a huge deal. Believe shipping only took 2-3 days
I have the Defender Real Tree for work reasons. I take the Otterbox protector off and use a tempered glass. Works great.
I have this one which looks identical, but much cheaper if you want some pics

I got one of those TOZO cases but the cut outs for buttons etc were not exactly centred. Didn't affect functionality though, but concerned about dust and lint getting trapped inside.

Yep! Bestbuy Online. Moshi online is sold out since launch day. It's a quality case. Had it on my 6's as well.
mines seems to line up perfect, maybe contact them and they'll send you a replacement
I'm having a hard time finding a case for my 7 Plus. I'm currently using this LK case:

It's ok but I'm looking for something better. The rubber on this one is a dust/lint magnet!
My biggest concern is grip. I wish there was a case with a finger groove on the back as my hand is too small to grab the whole phone and allow my thumb to move about freely. I used the Otterbox Commuter on my 6 Plus and I used the Apple logo cutout and a grip point for my index finger. That helped but holding the phone is still precarious due to the rest of the back being so slick. I'm looking at the UAG cases, seems like those ridges on the back might provide some grip.

Started looking at the UAG cases and really like the Monarch and Plasma. Then I saw the Trooper and with the ability to carry 4 cards, I could probably just leave my wallet at home. Can't find any dimensions on it though. I know it will be thick but does anyone know how it compares to something like the Otterbox Defender in thickness?
Not sure how it compares to the Defender in thickness, but I just reviewed it:
Kristin
I measured mine for the 6s+ and the Otterbox defender is 15mm thick while the UAG trooper comes in at 17mm. In terms of grip, for me at least, the transparent UAG cases offer more grip. The matte finish on the solid color UAG cases seem slick to me. The one case that I've always found to offer the most grip for me is the Speck grip cases. You may want to have a look at them.
I watched your video earlier, well done!

Awesome, thank you so much! This gives me much to ponder.
Edit: I just measured the case I'm currently using and it looks to be about 15 or 16mm so the Trooper wouldn't be much bigger. Now my issue goes back to grip!

can you comment on the thickness of the Tech21 vs the Speck Presidio?
i too picked up the Tech21 because essentially that was available. i think it's bulky, but haven't had the same issue of scuffs yet with mine. i also am not a fan of the buttons. the only thing i can say about it is it does seem like it would protect them phone well if dropped and the material has a nice grippy feel.
[doublepost=1475100855][/doublepost]
so which is your favorite? can you comment on whether the Presidio Grip or Tech21 are the same thickness or is one thicker than the other? perhaps a photo of the next to each other lying on a table? thanks!

I prefer the feel of the silicone apple case over the leather. But I think the leather might look better by a tiny bit lol. I don't even like other brands silicone as they are squishy, but apple has theirs nailed down in must say.
I also swear the silicone case for my 7+ feels a lot lets tacky compared to my 6s+ one I hand. Goes in and out of my pockets without problem. And adds JUST enough grip. Feels awesome in hand. Silicone is better in my case since I'm in the gym a lot and the silicone case will work better around water.
I was between the midnight blue or the white for some contrast. Close call.

How is the grip on this case? Is it slippery? How does it compare to the phone itself (with no case)??
I received my shipping notification yesterday for my Tech21 Evo Tactical case in black. I used the Tactical case from them for both my 6 Plus, and my 6S Plus. I picked up the Matte Black, so this tactical case should look great, and I love drop protection of Tech21.

phone itself is way too slippery. the texture of this material has excellent grip and feels comfortable even after handling for a while. the TPU on my 7 Plus (as with many of my other TPU cases in the past) always makes my skin sore.

I bought this fantastic bundle from best buy that includes a transparent TPU case, a 10 ft. charger, and a tempered glass screen protector.
The transparent TPU case looks great with the black, silver, gold, rose gold iPhones, it doesn't look good with the jet black (i think that phone is meant to be carried naked).
