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

[NeuralControl]

Tried best as I can. Here's the Ultra Hybrid 2 on a MB 7+. It has a very high lip even with the screen protector on. The back camera is also well protected. The buttons are really nice and click. Actually I wanna say as clicky as the Apple Leather cases. One thing is that there's two small holes on the bottom corners. I have no clue why they did that. Four small nubs are also on the back corners too.

If anyone is able to get a clear case on without any dust creeping in between the phone and case please let me know. I tried wiping it down, compressed air. No luck

Thanks for sharing these pictures. I have the MB 7 Plus as well and was hoping to see what the case looks like on the phone. Glad to hear you like the case so far - I'm tempted to get it, too.

Waiting on this one. Had one for 6 and really liked it for the price.

Blaine, you going to start all over again with cases when the iPhone 8 comes out?

Probably wait for 8S/9. I say that because the 7+ was so hard to get in a timely fashion. I'm going to try to hold out next round. I can only imagine how disastrous the next launch will be if it's even remotely better than 7 series. Won't be able to get/find one until 8S/9 time anyway. ‍♂️‍♂️

What do you mean " One thing is that there's two small holes on the bottom corners" ?

He means exactly what he says, if you look at the photo(2nd) of the back you can clearly see two holes, one in either bottom corner.

I can only imagine that they are there to stop the case sticking to the back of the phone, however I can also see it letting in dust.

Thanks, I am getting what you meant. Initially thought those are the plastic nubs.
Just watched the youtube review. There are more cutouts for dust to sneak in now

Nice, what screen protector is that?

 

[Phisherman81]

I got the smart battery case in black. I like the weight in hand along with the grippy silicone. It finally feels like it won't rocket out of my hand.

The Belkin one that was installed at the Apple store. Seems to be holding up pretty good after almost a month after installation.

im my experience not long. I've had my 7 plus since the end of Oct. and its already falling apart. the color is faded and dark around the edges and its scuffed. Now I know this is normal for leather and I'm not exactly the gentlest with my devices.

I agree but the great thing about leather is it still looks great when beaten up. I bet it's as soft as ever too.

 

[danny8200]

The Ringke Fusion in what they call "shadow black". Jet black color. This thing has more grip than even a Speck Presidio Grip I think. That's due to the glossy black finish. Everything else I look for is also there. Snug fit, clicky buttons, high enough lip even with a screen protector, four small nubs to lift the back of the case off of surfaces, bottom cutouts line up, etc. That Apple logo cutout isn't actually a cutout. Looks like they just made a circle on the black finish, so the apple logo isn't exposed. The back of the case is one solid piece. (Not sure if I'm explaining it correctly) sort of like the otterbox logo cutouts. You can see it but it's still protected. That was a nice bonus. I think I'll keep this one on for now. Man, it's a fingerprint and scratch magnet though. The grip on this thing is pretty good though. (Very good)

I found it very odd on the two small holes on the bottom corners. I guess that's to keep the JB from sticking to the case, like a previous forum member stated.

As for the buttons, looks like those small cutouts on the buttons is what makes them so clicky. Overall I like the case and I'll keep it in rotation.

Bit the bullet with a black leather case. It's much easier to put on and remove than I thought it would be. It feels fairly sturdy in my hands. A tad slippery but not enough that I'm worried about dropping it.

 

[blaine07]

@danny8200 I really like that Ringke case. Have had good experiences with them in past. Probably would've bought one for my 7+ but I just wish they hadn't done away with port plugs. Albeit quirky I always liked those. ‍♂️

Mailman brought me goods today, too, again... ‍♂️

Story Grey leather, Zugu Case, and a Black Silicone -- I almost have all the leathers lol.

That looks great. How does it look and touch? Glossy or inferior smooth?

Which one?

 

[danny8200]

@Daisy Chen it's a glossy black finish. Fingerprint prone but very grippy.

Oops, I'm sorry and I mean the Ringke case.

Thanks! Got it. Kind of not enjoy phone cases that are inclined to get fingerprints, but the Ringke one looks great. Do you have some good suggestions maybe?

Ehhh, my current rotation is the "Shadow Black" Ringke case (the one in the recent pics). The Spigen Ultra Hybrid 2 and a black apple leather case.

I believe Mr Blaine would be the go to case pro for any suggestions.

You wanting light duty, medium duty or heavy duty? Clear or wild colors? Any particular material you prefer?

Sea Blue Apple Leather.

Sea Blue Apple Leather.

This looks much darker than the Sea Blue I had.

Guys what's the general consensus on the best leather/wallet case? I'm not looking for one with a cover, but rather, one that has slots for cards on the back of the phone like this one :
