What case is everyone getting for their iPhone 7/7+?

I like to use my phones naked, especially the Jet Black. For my Jet Black 7 Plus, I'm using a Sena Heritage Sleeve (this one is in brown; mine is a slate blue color).

For my matte black 7 Plus, I'm using a Peel slim-fit case.

How do like the Sena Heritage Sleeve? Is it tight and will damage a clear skin on the back? I'm afraid it might lift off the skin. Thanks!

It's snug. It's the same one I used occasionally with my 6s Plus, but since the phones are the same size the fit is the same. The nice thing about a sleeve is that it is also something to lay the phone on when it's not in the sleeve. It's a nice compromise between using the phone naked and protecting it while on the go and it's in your pocket.

I bought the Caudabe case from them direct. A warning. Caudabe took £17.23 for the case. Fine and good. But, today I have a card from Royal Mail saying I owe £11.24 Customs charge! (I'm in the UK)

Any tips? If I don't pick it up will it just be returned to Caudabe?

I am in a similar boat.. saw this after I ordered.
i ordered direct from Caudabe.. the black Veil XT.
List price was $19.95 + $3.49 shipping.
I used a 15% off promo code so my case was $16.96 + $3.49 shipping.
The VAT threshold in the UK is £15 for items from the USA.
Paypal used the exchange rate of 1.18231USD to a 1.0GBP for my purhcase.
Hence, my case is £14.34 + £2.96 (i.e. total = £17.30)
I am wondering if Royal Mail will take in to account the shipping charge for the VAT due to make me pay duty or did I just creep under the threshold as my case value was actually below £15.. I will try to dispute it if they are cheeky.

Was your £17.23 including shipping mate? How long did the shipping take?

From memory I think it was about a week. I emailed Caudabe telling them I was sorry but I'm not willing to pay the customs charge. They said no problem and that they'd refund me as soon as the case was returned to them. I bought the same way you did.

Sorry mate.. did you also use a discount code?
Was your actual case price below £15 like mine after code as well?
Just want to understand.
Thanks.

IF anybody who has a slim armor for the plus want's I'd be interested in trading my black tpu for a clear tpu. As long as it's a "SLIM ARMOR" the PC will fit the tpu whether its black or clear. I almost bought the jet black version but wanted the matte pc part.

I'd trade you but I actually like the black TPU part over the clear. I love the grip of the matte black PC part. Wish they did that with all of their cases.
 
Just received my Power Support Air Jacket. Fit is excellent but it has the blotches that some cases have with Jet Black iPhones.
 
Received the white UAG Trooper today and I'm very impressed with the look and quality of the case. Stores 4 cards plus a few folded bills. However this thing is literally a pain in the rear end to open. The tips of my fingers are all sore trying to pry the cover open. Anyone know if it will loosen over time?

I have two cases that I'm super happy with for my JB 7+!

As a long time lurker, I went with the recommendation of a lot of members for super thin but protective cases and bought the Spigen Liquid Crystal in the JB specific colour "Space". I ordered direct from Spigen with a 25% off code so it was less than $25 CAD after shipping. I love how thin it is and that it still showcases the colour.

While I was waiting for my order to be fulfilled, I picked up a Kate Spade case. Its extremely bulky compared to the Spigen, but I'll definitely get use out of it when I go out with my friends and and am a little more careless with my devices. I don't know if I'd recommend it at the price tag of $69 CAD after taxes. But it is pretty cute.

Sorry for the mirror selfies - my iPhone is my camera ever since I ran out of storage on my MacBook Air.

I've been enjoying my Apple leather case in black for about a week now and have no regrets. I especially love the aluminum buttons and how they match well with the matte black.

photo cred: iPhone 5s (work phone) turned out pretty good LoL

Got the Shieldon leather case and it is best wallet case for iPhone 7 Plus. All the buttons have open cuts and bottom is actually open. I was concerned about it being open at the bottom but it has pretty big lip on the corners so it will not hit in case of a drop. It feels like original leather as they advertised so hopefully it will last as long as the phone.

Just got my power support air jacket. Can't post a pic of it on my phone yet since it's the only camera I have right now. It kinda makes the matte black look like a jet black. :D

My Tech21 EVO Tactical replacement case FINALLY arrived and... It's the EXACT same thing. It's clearly a fault in the mold, and not a fluke case. If you like fit and finish to be, you know, CORRECT, then do yourself a favor, and stay FAR away from this case. I am so disappointed... :(
 
I still can't figure out what case I'm sticking with. If anyone is interested in buying my Speck Presidio Grip in black let me know. I don't think I want to keep it.

I bought the same one last night but I'll probably return it. Just needed something to protect it until another case I ordered on Amazon comes in (caseology wavelength). I'll see how that one is first.
 
Any of you have any Gear4 cases? I know Kristin "the tech reviewer" just posted a review video but I was wondering if anybody else has used them? The leather one looks great, I'm thinking I might buy it even if nobody else has any input. It's a little expensive but no more than the UAG cases. My favorite from the 6+ cases was the solid suit but it's looking like that will be a long way's off, if they ever even get around to making them.

Less than 24 hours later and my case is scratched a crazy amount. To be expected on a clear plastic case but crazy to see how many after just 24 hours!
