A little warning from Engadget, for those considering Jet Black: -
The phones come in new colors too: a matte black and "jet black." The former looks exactly what you'd expect a black iPhone to look like, though the dark finish does a good job obscuring those antenna bands. Jet black, meanwhile, is at once lovely and a bit of a bummer. When I say lovely, I really mean it: The moment I touched one, I couldn't believe it was made of the same 7000 series aluminum as the others. In fact, it doesn't feel like metal at all, thanks to Apple's lengthy anodization and polishing process. Jet black iPhone bodies feel just as glossy and slick to the touch as their glass screens, and that unity makes them feel like seamless, cohesive wholes. The entire thing is seriously impressive, even if it feels sort of plasticky.
Then the scratches and smudges appear. I'm not a case person, but I take good care of my things and exercised what felt like a more than reasonable level of caution carrying these new phones around. It didn't even take 24 hours for the first batch of scratches to appear on my jet black iPhone 7's back, which was either the result of placing it on a bar's granite countertop or repeatedly shoving it into my empty jeans pocket. Those little nicks have only multiplied, which could be an understandable deal-breaker for some of you.

I think a phone being slippery or not is rather irrelevant since most people will slap on a case anyway, and kiasu people like me will slap on one of those bulky Otterbox cases making the phone big and ugly, but ultimately having the peace of mind

if you gonna slap on a case then it doesnt really matter which color anymore. i dont use any case, ive never use a case since 3gs to 6 my current 6 uses a bumper and that itself is a first
ill put on a bumper for the 7 but thats about it, no screen protectors, etc
