iPhone 7 Cases and iPhone 8 Cases
Let’s look at the best iPhone 7 Cases and iPhone 8 cases currently available. As more come available, we’ll update this post to reflect the new cases.
We are looking at the best iPhone 7 cases and giving a run down of what's best, what we are loving and other factors to consider when purchasing a phone case to protect your iPhone. Just incase you are curious why descriptions state iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 - here is why. The Apple iPhone 8 is actually the same size as the iPhone 7 so typically these will fit both models. Do check with the product brand to confirm fit, but this is typically the case (pun intended!) If you have an iPhone 7 Plus, click the link for the case that you like and find the iPhone 7 Plus case version. With the larger screen, an iPhone 7 plus case is not the same size as an iPhone 7 (or 8) case. Hands down the best iPhone 7 case for protection is the Otterbox Defender. While yes, the Defender iPhone case does cost more than others, one thing you don't have to worry so much about is the outrageous cost to replace an iPhone screen. My kids have thrown phones over our second story balcony when they were little and the phone was unharmed, thanks to the Defender. Do note, that if you are use to not using a phone case for protection - or if you use a lightweight phone case, you may be bugged by the thickness of the Otterbox Defender. Remember, the phone case is doing it's job! With a built-in screen protector, you don't have to fret looking at your phone to see if the screen is shattered. Otterbox is a great brand and makes an awesome product. If you are not needing heavy duty protection, Otterbox has other iPhone case options that are slimmer in size and less protective in nature. Here is what you need to know about the Zizo iPhone 7 case. It comes in ORANGE. I love orange, but it also comes in Black, Green, Red, Blue, Camo Green, Gold, Gray, Rose Gold and White Zizo features a screen protector that is 9H Hardness 0.33mm - Tempered Glass Screen Protector. The phone case comes with a kickstand built into the case – this comes in super handy. Military Grade 810-G Drop Test Certified – so when my kid throws my phone down the stairs (it’s happened more times than I care to admit.) Shock Absorbing and Impact Dispersion technology – or when my kids throw my phone. Holster belt clip included Kickstand built-in Military Grade 12 foot drop tested If you are looking for an affordable alternative to the Otterbox Defender, meet the i-Blason Armorbox. My husband used this case for his Galaxy 6 and loved it. When he sold his phone – it was FLAWLESS. Rugged, Dual Layer Protective Case with Polycarbonate Hard Shell Exterior and Flexible TPU inner core protecting against sudden drops and falls Protective front casing with built in bubble free screen protector enhances touch sensitivity Hard back case clips into a side mount belt clip swivel holster for carrying convenience during work, travel or play Available in multiple colors: Black, Blue, Green, Pink and White 360° PROTECTION – I have 4 kids that yes, I keep entertained with my phone.

If you are looking for a lightweight case that is affordable, but don't need full iPhone protection, consider the Maxboost phone case.
