However, I changed my opinion lately after I dropped my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/apple-iphone-7-plus-a1661-smartphone-review\/\"><strong>iPhone 7 Plus<\/strong><\/a> on the ground. Fortunately, it was dropped on the corner, so the screen and rear dual-lens camera\u00a0weren&#8217;t broken. There are just some scratches there now.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The recent iPhones have rounded edges, therefore, the sides are quite slippery and it&#8217;s difficult to grip the phone with 1 hand. So, I understood I would have to buy a protective case if I\u00a0want to keep the iPhone safe. On the journey to find the best iPhone 7 Plus case, I tested dozens of them. Following are my recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/best-iphone-7-plus-cases\/iphone-7-plus-cases-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11121\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iphone-7-plus-cases-1.jpg\" alt=\"iphone-7-plus-cases-1\" width=\"1119\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iphone-7-plus-cases-1.jpg 1119w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iphone-7-plus-cases-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iphone-7-plus-cases-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iphone-7-plus-cases-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1119px) 100vw, 1119px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Best Rugged Case<\/h2>\n<p>If you think your 2-layer case is the ultimate option to protect your iPhone, think again as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OtterBox-DEFENDER-Case-iPhone-Plus\/dp\/B01K6PBILI\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=twall-20&amp;linkId=68763982ef8c243caf93b006c929d763\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>OtterBox Defender Series case<\/strong><\/a> offers\u00a0even more. It does not only feature 3 protective layers\u00a0but also has a built-in screen protector. Besides, there is a belt-clip holster that can also be used as a kickstand for your phone. The case obviously makes your phone thicker but it has a very good look with\u00a0nice cutouts on the back to show the Apple logo and rear camera. If you are looking for the toughest case on the market, I highly recommend the Defender.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for the toughest case on the market, I highly recommend the Defender. In case it is too much for your taste, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KdqsgLFVkcg\"><strong>OtterBox Commuter Series<\/strong><\/a> is not a bad choice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iRSaocO_QVM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>The Sleekest Cases<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried a lot of cases but I always come back to just 2 cases because they feature a great look with high-quality materials. Those 2 cases are the <strong>Spigen Rugged Armor<\/strong> and <strong>OtterBox Symmetry Series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OtterBox-SYMMETRY-CLEAR-Case-iPhone\/dp\/B01K6PBRZU\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=twall-20&amp;linkId=b09d7aae3f91fa403331e225878d0202\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>OtterBox Symmetry Series<\/strong><\/a> is my favorite case. Although it uses a dual-material construction, it has just one piece, so the case is easy to apply and provides better protection as well. The rubber raised edges help protect the display while the polycarbonate shell can absorb shocks very well. The rear panel\u00a0is not prone to attracting fingerprints, so it looks\u00a0clean all the time. My only complaint is that the buttons are a little stiff and you would have to press them a little harder.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wNp7vZ9TWjA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If the Symmetry is still too cumbersome, you can try the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Spigen-Rugged-iPhone-Resilient-Absorption\/dp\/B01GIWGAAC\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=twall-20&amp;linkId=cf31e1d6d2af37cf2e1a5f8b287c7553\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Spigen Rugged Armor<\/strong><\/a>. This is also a one-piece case but it is made of TPU, so it is thinner and more flexible.\u00a0The case looks stunning with carbon fiber texture and a round window on the back showing Apple&#8217;s logo. It would look even better on a matte black or jet black iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OfyyvzantBc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>The Best Thin Cases<\/h2>\n<p>Notice that there are some slimmer cases in the category but they are not picked because they don&#8217;t offer enough protection.
