The Screwed by the Lawyers trope as used in popular culture. Copyright and Trademark law have gotten in the way of or forced cancellation for many works. The Best i. Phone 7 and 7 Plus Cases. So far this year, we’ve tested 5. Phone 7 and the i. Phone 7 Plus. Given that the i. Phone 7 models just debuted, we expect to see many more cases in the upcoming weeks and months; we’ll continue to test new models and update this guide accordingly. In general, we look for cases that can adequately protect an i. Phone without adding too much bulk or unnecessary embellishments. A respectable degree of shock absorption is important, as is a secure fit. The case should also cover as much of the i. Phone’s body as possible, including a raised lip around the glass display to keep the screen from getting scratched when you set the phone facedown. Table of contents. Why you should trust me. I was the accessories editor at i. Lounge for a little over three years. During my tenure, I reviewed more than 1,0. That number spans multiple generations of Apple devices, including every i. Phone since the i. Phone 4 and every i. Pad. I’ve probably handled more i. Phone cases than almost anyone on the planet, so I have a particularly experienced perspective and depth of knowledge when it comes to these products. Welcome to PocketMonsters.net PocketMonsters.net is a fansite dedicated to all things Pokémon (
I also consulted with Jeremy Horwitz while making final selections. Jeremy was editor in chief of i. Lounge for 1. 1 years, and was later a contributor and accessory reviewer for 9to. Mac. Jeremy is likely the only person who has tested more cases than I have, as far back as early i. Pods, and he knows this stuff inside and out. How we picked. A sampling of the cases we tested in the fall of 2. But in looking for standout cases that would work well for most people, we sought models that could adequately protect a phone without adding unnecessary embellishments or too much bulk. We based this approach in part on a reader survey in which 8. Phone’s feel and aesthetic. Apple’s guidelines for case developers espouse a similar philosophy: “A well- designed case will securely house an Apple device while not interfering with the device’s operation.” The guidelines also note requirements such as protection from a drop of 1 meter, which parts of the phone the case can and cannot block, and even the size and shape of the various openings. However, while Apple’s guidelines are generally smart, a manufacturer can follow them perfectly but still produce a case that limits real- world usability, such as by preventing the use of dock cradles (something that about a third of our survey respondents said was important). And Apple’s guidelines assume that you’re using Apple’s cables—many third- party Lightning- to- USB cables have larger plugs. A respectable degree of shock absorption is important, as is a tight fit. The case should cover as much of the i. Phone’s body as possible, but it should also include a raised lip around the edge of the screen: As Apple’s case guidelines explain, “. We used a 0. 8. 5- millimeter feeler gauge, per Apple’s guidelines, to test each case. It’s important that a case not hinder normal use of the i. Phone—it shouldn’t be any more difficult to use the phone in the case than when it’s case- free. In this respect, cases that cover the i. Phone’s volume and Sleep/Wake buttons with protective overlays tend to be better than models with simple cutouts: Cutouts leave those buttons unprotected, yet you have to reach through tiny openings to use the buttons. The best cases offer button protection with great tactility, mimicking—or in some instances even enhancing—what you’d feel on a bare i. Phone. We also prefer cases that protect the speaker and microphones rather than leaving them unprotected. We also dislike cases with a circular opening to expose the Apple logo on the back of the phone. There’s no need to leave part of your phone unprotected just to show off that logo, and we haven’t seen a case with such an opening that’s better than the good ones without it. Finally, a case shouldn’t reduce performance with any wireless signals: Wi- Fi, cellular, or NFC (near- field communication, necessary to use Apple Pay). Our pick for most people. The Silk Base Grip for i. Phone 7. That’s why Silk’s Base Grip is an excellent choice for most people with an i. Phone 7 or 7 Plus: It’s a simple case that checks all the boxes at a reasonable price. It’s a simple case that checks all the boxes at a reasonable price. The Base Grip is a one- piece TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane, a flexible plastic) case. It has just enough give to make it easy to install, without being so loose that the sides pull away—something that can be a problem on inferior cases. The back panel is slightly rough, with a pebbled finish on the edges for a good grip. It’s just the right amount of texture, offering extra security while you’re holding the phone without making the case feel weird or unpleasant. Along the bottom edge, openings for the speaker, microphone, and Lightning- connector port provide access without leaving too much of the i. Phone’s body exposed. The case covers the volume and the Sleep/Wake buttons while maintaining a clicky feel. A tapered, black ring protects the camera(s) and flash, and the lip around the screen is deep enough to keep the phone’s screen from touching flat surfaces (and a film screen protector is included), without being so tall as to hinder the use of the touchscreen. Silk claims that air pockets in the corners help absorb shock. Flaws but not dealbreakers. You won’t confuse the Base Grip with a premium case: It doesn’t look or feel particularly cheap, but it’s also not going to draw attention based on its looks. We also don’t love the seam between the back panel and the edge of the case, but that’s just a minor aesthetic bother. A great leather case. Apple’s i. Phone 7 Leather Case. It isn’t as protective as our overall favorite, but we like it anyway. It offers enough coverage to guard against the majority of scuffs and minor drops, and even though it’s thin and light, it still has an adequate lip protecting the screen. The Leather Case is available in 1. Most important, though, Apple’s Leather Case just looks and feels great. It’s like the difference between a hiking boot and a leather dress boot—sure, the hiking boot is more protective and comfortable, but if you’re not hiking, forgoing a bit of protection and comfort for style and luxury is sometimes worthwhile. That’s why several of our editors use the i. Phone 6/6s version of this model as their day- to- day case. There’s no mushiness when you press a button, but rather a crisp (and loud) click. We also love that the case is very thin and light for a leather model: The i. Phone 7 version weighs only 1. Plus edition weighs 2. Flaws but not dealbreakers Apple’s Leather Case leaves the bottom edge of your phone exposed, which means that if you drop your phone the wrong way, you could damage the front edge (just below the Home button), or the area around the Lightning- connector port. We wish Apple would add more protection here, but after several generations of this case using a similar design, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anytime soon. Leather also doesn’t wear as well over time (in terms of durability) as plastic, so if you’re expecting a case to look the same in a year as it did on the first day, no leather case is going to be the right pick for you. Best thin case. Caudabe’s The Sheath. Unfortunately, even the best super- thin cases we’ve tested don’t protect your phone against anything but scratches, and many of them simply don’t last—a short fall often breaks the case itself. Caudabe’s The Sheath for i. Phone 7 and i. Phone 7 Plus represents the best compromise we’ve yet seen, providing good coverage while remaining impressively thin. The material is less than a millimeter thick, yet the case still offers a proper 1 mm lip around the phone’s screen. We also like how tightly tailored the camera, microphone, and flash openings are. Flaws but not dealbreakers. Though The Sheath is thin, it doesn’t compete for the title of “World’s Thinnest i. Phone Case.” If you’re truly looking for something that just wraps around the phone to prevent scratches, consider Caudabe’s The Veil, addressed in the Competition section below. At the other extreme, The Sheath doesn’t provide as much shock protection as thicker cases—less protection comes with the territory in this category. Our wallet case pick. The Silk Vault for i. Phone 7. The TPU case has an integrated three- card wallet that, together with Apple Pay, may be enough to allow some people to ditch a separate wallet altogether. The Vault may be enough to allow some people to ditch a separate wallet altogether. Vault’s core elements are very similar to those found on the company’s Base Grip. The buttons and cutouts are all the same, and the case has a strip of textured material along both sides. The main difference is the molded card holder on the back, made to accommodate up to three credit cards and some cash. A small cutout along the edge opposite the wallet opening makes it easy to push cards out as needed, but even when we aggressively shook the phone, they didn’t fall out on their own. We also appreciate that the Vault exposes less of your cards than the competition—all you can see is a thumbnail- sized piece of the top card. It also happens to come with a protective screen film. Flaws but not dealbreakers Some other wallet cases are slimmer overall, and—because they have a flexible wallet component—are thinner when you have fewer cards in them; the Vault’s rigid wallet means that the case is the same thickness no matter how many cards it’s holding. That said, the Silk Wallet isn’t so large as to be cumbersome. The best transparent case. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid for i. Phone 7. Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid, which combines a clear plastic backplate with rubberlike sides, offers the best balance of look, feel, protectiveness, and price we’ve yet come across. Installation is as easy as with any case we’ve tested, button clicks are perfectly crisp, and air cushions in each of the four corners provide some drop protection.
