7 in black, I wish I'd gone for the jet black, it's less slippery so could use it without a case! I don't think the scratches are as big of a deal as anticipated

You are not wrong there, I have both black and jet black and the jet black is so much easier to hold.

I got a black 7+ a while back and returned it after a few days because it was so awkward to hold. I picked up a jet black a few days ago and the difference is night and day.

I got a silicone case for it but changed it for a saddle brown leather one. Most of the time I'm just going to use it without a case but the leather(with the help of some coconut oil) helped massively with both colour and feel.

However the feel of the jet black is just so great.

I have the black leather case, it's a nice fit but sometimes I just wanna rock it without the case

Tried a 7 Plus (matte black) for a few months, but didn't get used to it.

Now I just bought the normal 7 in Jet Black

Just done the same. Took advantage of Apple's extended end of year returns period. Bought the Matte Black Plus in late November, returned it last week and bought the 4.7 Jet Black.
