Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I previously had a similar case for my iPhone 6 Plus that had a sliding opening on the back to hold credit cards. When I upgraded my phone to the iPhone 7 Plus I decided to try this style. I've only owned this case a week but so far I prefer it to the other style. The way the credit card area is designed on this one makes it easier for removal and insertion of the cards. I have concerns about the durability of the back cover and will update this review if it fails. So far I give the case five stars and would definitely buy it again and recommend it. Pros: – The case is attractive and appears well-made. – The case is sized correctly to hold an iPhone 7 Plus. – The bottom of the case has slots for the speakers and lightning plug (the lightning plug opening does not interfere with a standard cable). – There is a slot on the left side of the case to allow access to the ring/silent switch. – There are tabs covering the volume up/down and on/off buttons allowing them to be easily pressed. – The case provides protection for the back and all four sides of the iPhone. – The front of the case has a lip deep enough to keep the iPhone's screen above the surface when the phone is set face down (but I would recommend a screen protector be used too). – The opening for the camera and flash on the backside does not obstruct the camera or flash. – On the back there is a slot that can hold up to three credit cards and/or ATM cards and/or drivers license (note: it is not sized to fit business cards). – The shape of the card slot makes insertion and removal of the cards easy and convenient. – A magnetic cover on the backside keeps the cards out of view. – The back cover doubles as an adjustable multi-angle stand. – The back cover is vinyl covered metal and allows the case to be used with a magnetic cell phone holder. – When set face up the back of the case is sufficiently nonslip to allow operation of the phone without it sliding. – Though not intended for this purpose inside the case there is a space that can hold a rolled up dollar (or $10 or $20 etc.) bill (I find it convenient to put a rolled up $20 bill there in case of "emergencies"). Cons: – The case doubles the thickness of the iPhone. – The case (and cards) nearly doubles the weight of the iPhone. – The case must be removed if you want to put your iPhone into a charging stand. – A screen protector is not included with the case.
