So you just picked up a fresh iPhone 7 Plus and you want a decent case, but you aren't
0:09
quite sure which one to get. So let's check out 6 of my favourites and find the one that suits your needs
0:15
They're all terrific and they cost less than $25 each. So in no particular order, let's start with the iVapo Brief
0:23
This case is a looker. It's got a great unique design combining both leather and wool to help you stand out in
0:28
a sea of iPhones. It offers a decent amount of protection whilst maintaining the 7 Plus' slim physique
0:34
So you'll have no problem slipping it into your jeans. It's also got a leather pocket on the back to store some cards
0:41
Granted, it's only 3 out of push, but with the growing acceptance of Apple Pay at stores
0:45
you can try and slim your wallet right down with one or two credit cards and ID
0:50
The case is raised around the camera hump to protect it from getting scratched
0:53
And overall, it's a super nice case with a really interesting design
0:57
It'll look great for everyday use or it's even smart enough if you place your iPhone down on a desk during a business meeting
1:03
What I really like is that the iVapo Brief looks like a case you'd expect to see from a company like Hardgraft, which would cost a whole lot more
1:12
If you need something with a little more class, but for almost half the price of Apple's own
1:16
leather iPhone 7 Plus case, the answer could be the Benno leather case
1:21
It's made from a high quality leather with a classic style. The grain and finish feel a lot more premium than it's $20 price tag
1:27
On the inside, the Benno case has a durable microfiber interior which almost feels like
1:31
a kind of suede to help keep your iPhone free from scratches. Like the iVapo case, on the back there's 3 handy pockets to carry your cards and cash
1:39
Thankfully, it adds barely any extra bulk to the iPhone and it's made out of leather
1:44
so it will age over time which I personally love. All of the buttons, ports and speakers are accessible thanks to the large cutouts on
1:50
the side. The only negative is that these are a little more exposed than some other cases and could
1:55
leave you prone to scratching. If you need something to help protect your iPhone 7 Plus from knocks and drops, the RingKey
2:02
Onyx could be the case for you and it currently comes in for just under $10
2:07
It's a flexible but sturdy case which also adds a ton of extra grip
2:10
It comes in 3 different colours including the black you see here and features a carbon
2:14
fibre style pattern on the back combined with a brushed metal style accent in the middle
2:18
which makes the case look super sleek. The cutouts are nice and clean and thankfully aren't too deep so there's going to be
2:24
no problem getting to your lightning port. The volume and power buttons are covered in that flexible bumper but are still nice and
2:30
clicky and the mute switch is still easily accessible. For just $10 it's a steal
2:36
If you want a case which is subtle, the Coral iPhone 7 Plus case is perfect
2:40
It's covered in a 3D Kevlar style pattern which feels great in the hand and it adds
2:44
a little extra grip. It's got a double layered design which offers some shock absorption and despite being flexible
2:50
it's really sturdy and should be able to take a decent knock
2:53
Although I'm not going to put that to the test with my phone. The camera, lightning and speaker cutouts are great while the power button and volume
3:00
buttons are protected with chrome covers which rarely pop against the black
3:04
This case is downright solid. For a lot of people, they like to enjoy the design of their iPhone without hiding it behind
3:12
a case. The answer could be to wrap your phone. SlickWraps offers tons of different wraps for your iPhone 7 Plus
3:19
From leather to carbon fibre or even wood. My personal favourite is the leather series which just adds another level of class to
3:25
my iPhone and looks great from every angle. All of the ports and buttons still look super clean
3:31
If you've bought iPhone stickers before you'll know how much of a pain they can be, peeling
3:35
off after time. But SlickWraps are super high quality and are easy to install if you follow the instructions
3:42
All of the deep textures simply look gorgeous on the giant iPhone 7 Plus
3:47
Hopefully that's coming through on camera. While they're not going to provide the same level of safety to your trusty device, they'll
3:52
still protect it from minor scratches and small drops. All of this without adding any extra bulk whatsoever whilst making your iPhone truly
3:59
unique in whatever style you like. With most of them starting from just under $23
4:04
Also go and give SlickWraps some love by checking out their website or giving them a virtual
4:09
high five over on Twitter for making this video possible. Last on my list is the Shieldon 7 Plus Classic Case
4:16
Shieldon isn't just a Pokemon, it's another wallet case but this one offers protection
4:20
on the front and back. The first thing that really stood out to me when receiving the Shieldon case is the quality
4:25
of the packaging and just the general unboxing experience. It even comes with a storage case
4:31
Made out of genuine leather, the case has 3 card slots as well as a side pocket for some good old fashioned cash or an extra card should you need it
4:38
As it has a magnet built in to attach the cover, be careful not to overfill the slots
4:42
as the more cards you place inside, the weaker the grip will get
4:46
Also make sure to place your cards in so that the strip is furthest away from the magnet
4:50
as you wouldn't want your cards to be bricked. It comes in just over the $25 price tag but Shieldon have provided us with an Amazon discount
