iPhone 7 Plus Case
Protect your phone and cards in style with this case.

This case is a dead-ringer for one you’d expect to see from Hard Graft, but for a whole lot less. It’s got a great, unique design combining both leather and wool to help you stand out in a sea of iPhones. It offers a decent amount of protection while maintaining the slim physique of the iPhone 7 Plus, 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 — granted it’s only three at a push, but with the growing acceptance of Apple Pay at stores, you can try and slim your wallet right down with one or two credit cards and an ID.

The cover is raised around the camera hump to protect it from getting a scratch, and overall it’s a super nice case, with a unique design and texture.

Benuo Leather Case

High class without the high price tag.

If you need a cover with a little class, but for almost half the price of Apple’s own leather iPhone 7 Plus case, the answer could be the Benuo.

It’s made from high-quality leather with a classic style. The grain and finish feels a lot more premium than its $20 price tag. On the inside, the Benuo case has a durable microfiber lining to keep your iPhone scratch-free.

Like the iVapo case, there are three handy pockets on its back to carry your cards and cash. Thankfully, it adds barely any extra bulk to the iPhone, and the leather will age over time, which I personally like.

All of the buttons, ports and speakers are accessible thanks to the large cutouts on the side. 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.

Ringke Onyx

If you need something to help protect your iPhone 7 Plus from knocks and drops the Ringke Onyx could be the case for you, and right now it’s under 10 bucks. It’s a flexible but sturdy case, which also adds a ton of extra grip.

It comes in three different colors including Midnight Navy, Mist Gray and the Black shown here. The carbon-fiber pattern on the back combined with a brushed-metal accent in the middle make for a very sleek case.

The cutouts are nice and clean, and not too deep, yielding easy access to the lightning port. The volume and power buttons are covered, but are still nice and clicky.

Coral Case

iPhone 7 Plus
Simplistic, stylish and protective. What else do you want for $9.99?

If you want a subtle case for your not-so-subtle iPhone 7 Plus, the Coral is perfect. It’s covered in a 3D kevlar-style pattern, which feels great in hand and is nice and grippy.

It’s got a double-layer design, offers some shock absorption, and should be able to take a decent knock. (Although I’m not going to put that to the test with my phone.)

The camera, lightning and speaker cutouts are nice and clean, while the power and volume buttons are protected with chrome buttons which really pop against the black.

Price: $19.99 ($5 off code: OH9WH5C5G189)

Slickwraps

Make your iPhone 7 Plus unique with Slickwraps.

Slickwraps offers tons of different wraps for your iPhone 7 Plus, from leather to carbon fibre or even wood.

My personal favorite is the leather series, which just adds another level of class to my iPhone and looks great from every angle. All of the ports and buttons still look super clean — if you’ve bought iPhone stickers before you’ll know how much of a pain they can be, peeling off after time — but Slickwraps are super high-quality and easy to install if you follow the instructions.

All of the deep textures look gorgeous on the giant iPhone 7 Plus. 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 still protect it from minor scratches and small drops.

Price: $22.95

If you need something to help protect your iPhone 7 Plus from knocks and drops, the Shieldon could be the case for you, and right now it comes in at under 10 clams. It’s a flexible, but sturdy case which also adds a ton of extra grip.

It comes in three different colors including the the Black you see here and features a carbon-fiber style pattern on the back combined with a brushed metal style accent in the middle which makes the case look super sleek.

The cut outs are nice and clean and thankfully aren’t too deep so there’s gonna be no problem getting to your lightning port. The volume and power buttons are covered in that flexible bumper but are still nice and clicky and the mute switch is still easily accessible.
