    Just upgraded my phone to an iphone 7 plus. I have used and been overall quite pleased with the magpul cases on my last several phones (I actually don't recall ever using anything else).

    However, it seems the 7 is to ancient to have any of them in stock (on a quick amazon search anyway) for the plus size, so I am on the hunt for something else.

    What are you all using? I like minimal bulk, I rarely drop my phone, but the magpul has always been sufficient protection when I have, and I use a nite iyz car mount system, which I may also change if I find the right system.

    No question! Life proof FRE or OtterBox Pro.
    The Lifeproof is excellent for wiping with disinfecting wipes on a reqular Basis :) The wifeys gets wiped a few times a day and then in a UV sanitizer and has never had a problem.

    i use a plain leather sleeve from etsy. i try to minimize putting anything in my pocket...plus kinda goes against admiring the design of the thing...lets face it a big percentage of iphone owners picked it due to the minimalist/physical design of it.

    I’ve used Spigen cases the last few times.

    I always get them on amazon.

    Always the thinner ones, I don’t like a thick case.

    Otterbox Commuter. I have one on my iPhone 7 and love it. It has about the same bulk factor as a Magpul with a bit more protection in my opinion. And the warranty is superb.

    I too have been using the magpul cases for years for both me and my wife’s phone. I used a quality glass screen protector and the magnum case. The phones have survived some solid falls withniut issue.
    The only issue I have is my current 8plus. The case doesn’t fit as tight as the ones in the past. But it has t proved to be any type of issue.

    I've had my 6s in a Pelican case for years. They have replaced it several times without hesitation when the rubber covers over the ports wear out and tear off. They are pretty inexpensive as well.

    I like the otterbox symmetry cos they're thin but tough (and i have a iphone 6 and i buy them so i def think you can find ones for 7's)

    I got a white one so I can find it easier. They work pretty well. I've dropped it w/0 damage.

    Lifeproof Fre gets my vote. used them for years and and never had an issue when dropping the phone or had any dust or water get through. I work outside from the beach, mountains, swamps, and lots of time in the cold and the rain. I have had cracks develop at the port on one case but they replaced it no questions asked, just paid about $5 shipping and they sent a new one.
