Tapping the top is one of the best feature in IOS, I miss it when I'm using android

Actually some Android Platform phones have that. But instead of once tap twice to return to the top. Huawei P9 has it and I remember a few of my previous Android phones do have that feature.

Using spigen's liquid armor for both my jetblack 7 and black 7+

pros-

decent amount of grip, not too bulky
4 corners have drop protection airgaps

cons-
not compatible with full edge to edge screen protectors
can't show off the sexiness of your jet black iphone
*
Can I ask what SPs you are using for both the phones? TG or PET Film? No halo effect, cool.

using x-one camera and home button set for both units
hoda 0.2mm for the 7+ bought in taobao and patchworks itg +plus for the 7 bought from switch

Quite difficult to find TG SPs without the halo effect. After 2, I went for X-One Pet film. Also have this brand's Camera Lens protector and Home Button's. With the latter applied, it sort of became a smidgen less sensitive to the touch. Same experience with you?

Bought a few cases as well for my 7Plus, the latest 2 being Spigen Neo Hybrid and like yours, Liquid Armor. The former, according to my liking, I find it just a tad too bulky. And for the Liquid Armor, the sides are slippery. Caution must be exercised when handling the phone. As for transparent cases, fingerprints are evident with the Matt Black sitting underneath.

I think I'll skip this casing. If it's too slim, then I'm scared I'll drop the phone which only protects the corners with the air cushion thingy. Will probably go for ultra hybrid instead.
If order now, should be fine. smile.gif

You can take a look at Spigen Rugged Armor then. It is in between Liquid Armor and Neo Hybrid in terms of thickness. I believe it will offer sufficient drop protection and at the same time is not overly bulky. And if I may add, quite pleasing to the eyes.

Rugged armor is not really good though.. I used it on my previous phone, one time drop and screen broke.. sad.gif

Really? Well, I suppose it depends on the point of impact and from how high and hard it is dropped.

Nope, my jet black is still in perfect condition, changed the back SP several times, the printings didn't come out and no scratches detected at this moment. Using casing all the time with front and rear SP
*
I believe it is the skins that could lift the imprints out. Rear protectors will not as you have attested to. By the way, where did you buy the back protector? How much please? Quite a difficult item to get.

Just wanted to share.
To those who still want use iPhone Case but at the same time want to maintain the original size/shape and color may try this way.
I have a matt black iPhone 7 with protective case (brand HOCO Slim) but wrapped my case with Easyskinz Jet Black Sticker)

Pros :
- still maintain the original size
- can switch colors (if you have extra protective cases and wrapping the different colors - Easyskinz Sticker or Dbrand Sticker)
- not many people notice that you are use protective case.

Cons:
- The price is quite expensive (HOGO case = RM40  + Sticker RM60 = RM100 ++)
- recommend to use Fully screen protector (as a HOGO case only protect the back only)

[attachmentid=8070694][attachmentid=8070696]

Just be mindful if and when you are taking off the skin as there are reports that the imprinted letterings come off with it.

What is is the significance of doing that, can I ask? Just to bring out the jet black colour? Btw, nice case.

I heard the rear plastic screen protector doesn't stick especially on the jet black models because of the surface. Did yours peel or bubble?
Not worth risking if you ask me unless because so called oem cables are made to look identical to the original ones. If you want guaranteed original, only buy from Apple online or AASPs only. If you dont want to get the original, you can buy those from Remax etc. Those work well too.

Was about to post then I read yours. Just came back from LY Plaza. Needless to say, spent some money on cases. Anyway, apllied one back protector on my 7plus(Clear). It sticks but not evenly and therefore does not look nice at all. Could I hear from you guys, is it because it's the Matte Black material? Cause on my Rose Gold 6sPlus, no issue.

Nope, no such prob. it sticks perfectly fine just like any other phone  smile.gif The only part that doesn't stick is the Apple logo which is the same for my i5s as well
*
Yours is Jet Black thus it should stick nicely whereas mine is Matte Black and the material is totally not the same which is not conducive for those plastic protector to nicely adhere to.

If I'm not wrong, the aluminium back of your phone should be the same material as the iPhone 5S (aluminium back) and yes it wouldn't look nice after applying the protector but do give it some time as it would settle off. I'm speaking based on my previous phone i5s though, not 100% sure whether it is the same material.
Jet Black Bro

This Matte Black is of totally different textured surface though the phone material is still the same. Hence normal protector would not adhere to it. However, I believe(not absolutely sure) stickers, wraps would do the job nicely.

There you go , ignore the dust on the camera part haha... haven't been wiping the phone...no bubble except on the apple logo part as mentioned

Yours stuck on as good as it can be. Mine is a far cry away. That's why I just took it out. And hence I am not going to put on any case with pattern on the inside surface or with a hole to display the Apple logo.
