The Best iPhone 7 Cases (3)

It's been a few years, but you're sticking with the iPhone 7. You've been through a lot together, including the removal of the headphone jack, the introduction of the AirPods, and the usage of the Lightning adapter. You still need to protect your phone.

Apple itself posted that the high shine of the jet black version "may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone."

Not to worry; we've got you covered, so to speak. You might notice that according to the dimensions, iPhone 7 cases fit the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. But if you've just been reusing an old phone case, it's time to get a brand new one. Read on for some suggestions.

About Chandra Steele

Senior Features Writer

My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). I’ve been at PCMag since 2011 and have covered the surveillance state, vaccination cards, ghost guns, voting, ISIS, art, fashion, film, design, gender bias, and more. You might have seen me on TV talking about these topics or heard me on your commute home on the radio or a podcast. Or maybe you’ve just seen my Bernie meme.

I strive to explain topics that you might come across in the news but not fully understand, such as NFTs and meme stocks. I’ve had the pleasure of talking tech with Jeff Goldblum, Ang Lee, and other celebrities who have brought a different perspective to it. I put great care into writing gift guides and am always touched by the notes I get from people who’ve used them to choose presents that have been well-received. Though I love that I get to write about the tech industry every day, it’s touched by gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequality and I try to bring these topics to light.

Outside of PCMag, I write fiction, poetry, humor, and essays on culture.
