The Best iPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus Cases

Here’s what we think are the best iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus cases from third-parties that you can buy for your new device.

Apple’s iPhone 7 is now available in multiple countries worldwide. More and more consumers are starting to get their hands on Apple’s new smartphone range, which invariably means that more and more users are starting to worry about protecting their investment, not only from the elects and the environment, but also from general knocks and scrapes. In order to help with that, we have some of the best budget friendly cases available on the market for iPhone and iPhone 7 Plus.

Well sure Apple has already gone on record to state that that Jet Black iPhone 7/7 Plus is prone to micro abrasions, so you best use that phone in a case. While Apple’s official leather and silicon case offerings are pretty solid ones, they do lack a bit of character.

This is where third-party manufacturers come into play, offering cases that are truly unique on their own, or at times, just plain and simple transparent ones to let your brand new iPhone 7 shine through. Here are some of the best cases to get you started.

Spigen Air Skin Ultra-Thin Hard Case ($14.99 for iPhone 7, $14.99 for iPhone 7 Plus)

An extremely thin case coming in at just 0.36mm in thickness, the Spigen Air Skin case for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is great for minimalists. Its hard polypropylene skin keeps the case scratch free and the frost transparent body makes sure the beautiful design of iPhone 7 isn’t hidden by any hideous cover. It comes in white and black offering.
