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

Hooterville said:
Only had the Pelican Protector since last night but it is one sweet feeling case. I'm liking it better then the Otterbox Symmetry. The only con is that the buttons are pretty flush to the side of the case but very tactile.
I've also noticed it's down to $29. on Amazon. I believe I paid $40. for it.

And Amazon used to price match but no longer does. Worth the money to return your current one and buy a new one at the lower price?

I got my new martianmetal case on my new phone. Strongly recommend.

Frankly, I am never going to use any plastic/rubber case for my iPhones again. Martianmetal cases are much better than those flimsy plastic/rubber ones. I hate plastic/rubber ones because they make my $800 phone look cheap. Plus I love the magnetic back. Just pop it onto any steel surface and it will stay. I love putting it on my fridge. I love metal cases because the feel of it is so smooth, not to mention aesthetically pleasing, and low weight high strength aluminum combo is simply smart. One important recommendation though, if you’re not going to buy a metal case then do yourself a favor and don’t hold one with it on. That way you won’t know what you’re missing.

Not worth the hassle for $10. of returning and repurchasing.

That thing is wild for sure. None for the 7 Plus?

It's aptly named, for sure.

Lots of cases, lots of post.

I have a Silk case off Amazon, Otterbox Commuter, Incipio NGP, Tozo case off Amazon and a Speck Presiodo on the way and a few other $2 eBay cases.

What kind of protection you looking for? Casual, work or??

Otter Box is great if you don't mind turning your phone into a brick! Personally I like thin, light, and preferably clear cases. I'm not too worried about dropping my phone, I just like a little something to give me a better grip on it and protect against crutches and minor bumps and bangs.

Edit: I obviously don't mean to suggests that Otter Box cases "brick" your phone in the functional sense of making it permanently inoperable. I mean they add great physical bulk.

My Otterbox Commuter for 7+ is definitely "thinned up" compared to Otterbox of previous years

From your posted pictures above, I decided to pick up this case for my 7. I returned the disappointing Lifeproof Fre (that's for another thread). The Pelican Protector looks awesome. Can't wait to get it.

BTW, you can find it for around $19 shipped on eBay (brand new). Even a better deal than Amazon. That's where I got mine from. FYI.

Looks like a Transformer. Just a little too bulky and "metal-ly" for my taste. Enjoy though. It's unique that's for sure.

That is by far the fugliest case I've ever seen. You cover up your beautifully crafted iPhone with that? To each their own I guess.

Used to get cases from Spigen for my iPhones and very happy with this Brand.

I too find Spigen cases simple and elegant, I've bought their cases since I had an LG G2. I have the Black Ultra Hybrid case for the 7 Plus, but am thinking of switching to their Liquid Armor case as the clear back occasionally sticks to phone's jet black finish.
