The only case I would even consider getting is the battery case, and I would even keep that off when I'm not using it.
Gruber discusses the finish within his review. Good points on apples improvements on materials...

Bought the leather case for the regular 7 and loved the feeling of it (mostly the buttons). This is my first case as I never used a case starting from the iPhone 2g. I told myself that I would use a case for this generation because the matte black might get ugly as it gets scratched and start to show wear underneath the coat while the other space grays were more "natural" aluminum so wear wouldn't be too visible.
After using the case for 9 hours, I'm contemplating returning the case and using it naked. Feels just kinda clunky. Hate the feeling of having a lip around the screen, negates the smoothness of when you swipe end to end. Because the phone is so new I still have that "overprotective" nature and thinking about all those "what if" situations where I drop the phone and crack it when the last cracked phone I did was the iPhone 3g. Long tangent aside, is anyone going caseless this year? (no skin, nothing air case, etc etc)

I ordered a black Apple Silicon case, but I'm considering going naked the majority of the time with my 7 Plus. The only time I may use the case is when I'm working out in the wild.
I've had the 6 naked about 95% of the time for the past two years and it's still in great shape.
I like to show off the design beauty.

Unless it's s clear case. I'm using spigenbultra hybrid. Crystal clear so you can see thru
I'm pretty sure the regular black colour uses the same colouring techniques as the other iPhones. It's dyed aluminium isn't it, not just a coating? They learned their mistake from black coatings on the iPhone 5.
I'm going naked and it's crazy but I got applecare so I'm blessed. It's so nice looking at the back of the 7+ matte black without the case but I'm definitely getting a glass screen protector.
My daughter just bought her first ever brand new iPhone which she got on launch day. Even though she paid for it using her money from her part time job, as parents we insisted that it went straight in a decent case with a screen protector. Yes, it looks a bit less gorgeous but we know our daughter well and she can be as clumsy a person as you are ever likely to meet. She knows it too so was happy to do this.
Yesterday, on her way to school, she was running late and managed to slam it, full force, in the front door!!!
Luckily for her, the case saved it and the screen protector was the only casualty. However, she spent all day thinking she had smashed up her £700 phone and I have never seen a more relieved person when she came home and I showed her it was just the protector. Lesson learned and no harm done. She will ALWAYS be using a decent case.

The problem Apple created was the huge camera bump on the back. It'll prevent the phone from laying flat on its back. Setting aside how ugly it is, the bulge is a big annoyance.
