Whoa... the 7 plus is flipping my skirt!!!

[Evilguppy]

Phew you guys, I don't know about you but this puppy is so much fun it's dizzying.
I set it up as a new device, it took minutes.
The whites are normal and bright.
No hissing.
It's. So. Freaking fast.
And bright.
And clear.
And the screen is indeed superb, I think I made the right decision in going with a wallet case and no screen protector.
Did I mention how fast this puppy is?

... Honestly I think I need a cuddle and a smoke now lol

Did you get that one case I linked without the wallet slots?

Glad you received and are enjoying your device. Whether you intended to be or not, your anticipation was quite humorous in your posts around here lately, lol.

Enjoy.

i did but I prefer the other one, lol. The magnetic closure feels stronger and it has an added loop to keep it secure. I'm keeping the other one though because knowing me, I might change my mind next week, lol.

Thanks, humor is how I ward off stress... I have a lot of stress to deal with lol.

I definitely understand, lol. Enjoy your new phone. I'll remain jealous for another two days lol.

Stay strong, I'm sending you mental "let's not pull all my hair out just yet" vibes.

The phone is so fast that's one thing I did notice. Not massively fast from the 6S plus but noticible.
I'm glad you got your phone

I upgraded from the 6 Plus so it's quite a leap for me. And I already love the home button.

I always recommend a tempered glass screen protector. I put a Zagg on my 6s Plus when I had it, and when I got my 7 Plus, the first thing I did was put a Zagg on that. And I don't drop my phones, I am just being cautious for a what if scenario.

I work for one of the major cell companies, and you have no idea how many people come in with cracked screens, or cracked tempered glass protectors needing to buy a new one.

It's not worth risking an expensive phone just to be cheap. They feel just like the glass on the phone and do not impede touch sensitivity.

Until you work for a cell phone provider, you really can't imagine how many people cracked their screens. It only takes one drop onto concrete to change your life.

I was just looking at it the 7+ like nah it's not that fast but coming from a 6+? Yeah it's prolly so fast you get more excited than a dog does about food

Same here! And I really like the home button too.

Glad to hear you received it okay and are thoroughly enjoying it. Couple weeks for me. I am going from a 6 to 7 Plus so this will be a big leap for me. Well enjoy that new toy.

Could you post a picture of it? I've been on the fence about ordering it.

i will though I should tell you... I've already switched to the one you recommended:

Both cases DO NOT put the phone to sleep, it doesn't work like the Apple Smart Cover on an iPad.
Right now the only difference is that the one you recommended has a slimmer profile.
The other one has the extra strap but honestly it's going to take just using both to figure it out.

Heheh- sounds like you've been dongled.

Congrats- glad you love it!!

Ditto.

Took advantage of in-store pickup to trade 6+ to Apple yesterday. Cash back on credit card of my choice (sweet)!

Much faster than 6-series phones.way cool.

Ok here it goes, in very poor light and on my bed because I'm not up yet, lol:

So the one you recommended does have a much slimmer profile, it also feels slippery to the touch.
The black one is a tad bulkier, feels grippier and I dare say the part that actually holds the phone in place has a more secure feel, It actually snaps, the other one feels loose.
So I'm keeping the black one.

Oops forgot this one:

I second this. Working in wireless taught me that I will always use, at minimum, a screen protector lol. I cringe at the "I never will and never have used a protector" comments, lol.
