Apple - Leather Case for iPhone® 7 Plus - Saddle Brown

My Piaggio MP3 cycle has an app to display system telemetry on the iphone. I was using my brand new iphone 7 plus in a Ram mount, which is supposed to be extremely secure. As I was exiting the freeway at 60mph, I watched in horror as my new phone leapt out of the Ram mount, bounced off my foot, and disappeared on the freeway behind me. It was at night, and my case is dark grey, so it took a few minutes to find it against the grey pavement, and frankly I was surprised it hadn't been run over by the cars behind me. Although the leather case took a beating on the back and especially on all 4 corners, the only damage I can find on the iphone is abrasion on the power button on the right side. Amazingly, the leather case completely protected everything else!

I used to purchase the other cases but with my iPhone 6s I decided to go Apple. I loved the case, it protected the phone great and it looks really nice. I put a zagg screen protector on the front glass for extra protection. I probably dropped that phone 20 times over the year I had it and nothing ever happened to the phone. The case took a beating and the screen protector cracked but the phone stayed flawless. So, now that I just purchased the iPhone 7 and had to get a new case it was a no-brainer.I'm attaching pictures of the iPhone 6s case, its basically the same just the new one has a wider camera slot. Believe it or not the case in the pictures was saddle brown when I purchased it. That is the one thing about the leather cases, they change colors widely.

I actually bought this case for my iPhone 6s Plus. Though it's for the 7 Plus it fits perfectly. It does slightly cover the outer rim of the camera lens, but it does not interfere with the camera. I have always loved the Apple leather cases but the old ones didn't have physical buttons for the volume and sleep/wake. They were always hard to push or hard to find to push on. The 7 Plus case has physical buttons that has a great "clicky" feel and are easy to find and push. The large camera opening on the case might look a little strange on a 6s Plus, but it functions perfectly. I highly recommend this case.

I have the iPhone 7plus and the color online is a bit darker. The leather is smooth but it can slip from your hands if your not holding it correctly. I would buy it again but in the gray color. The leather gets marked easily.

Leather case has a great feel to it. Not much bulk. The metal buttons on the phone are very responsive.

Amazing product quality is not very wide and super comfortable

the description of the protector came as "excellent", the truth is that it was disgusting, I do not recommend at all to buy "open boxes" super mistake of bestbuy should not sell this type of products if they are in terrible conditions. my protector came with scratches and broken the corner.

I always loved the Midnight Blue color case for this phone so I purchased this for my iPhone 8 Plus, since the phone is the same size as the 7 Plus - it does fit. It does look great and the inside soft felt like fabric should protect the new glass back on iPhone 8/8 Plus from possible heavy scratching, smudges and fingerprints. A slight downside right now is that this is my first Apple Leather case and the very first thing I noticed was how slippery the sides, top are. Very different compared to my old Apple 6 Plus Silicone case which I found had very nice grip to it, there was no fear of having it slip out of your hands. From what I read on other sites this case, especially the Midnight Blue (Storm Gray model also) yes others found it extremely slippery at first but after a week or two the grip felt much better. I suppose it's basically "breaking it in - the leather will become softer in time." So I will hold on to it and hope it does just that. *Update - Sept 30. The case feels much better since my initial review, not as slippery. Also keep in mind, these do scratch easily, expect minor scuffs . It's not damaged with deep scratches where the case it compromised or it looks just bad. I basically see this like a pair of new sneakers, you will get scuffs. I don't mind it. But If you want a case that will look pristine for a long long time - this may not be for you. Perhaps a leather cleaner/conditioner will remove these, make it look new again. I'm not sure right now, it's something I personally need to try at some point. I still like the case.
