What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

They are defective and cover up 4 of the iPhone 7 plus speaker holes on the bottom of the phone.
Magpul is this late to the party and the product is defective. :crying:
ewwww gotcha. I used to always use their cases back in the iPhone 5 days. Thanks for the heads up.

Nooooooooooooo! Mine comes in today and I had no idea. Hopefully it doesn't suffer from that defect.
Just called Magpul and spoke with someone in the technical department. The guy said this was a complete flub by Magpul and it would be 4-6 weeks or more before the correct cases are available. He said that a whole new mold has to be manufactured and it will take some time.
They have quite a mess on their hands as they have already shipped out thousands of defective cases.
The iPhone 8 will be out before they get this mess right.

It will, see my comment above.

No. This Element Case is perfect. If you like the design you can't go wrong.

It just arrived. I actually like the thing even with 2 holes on each side being covered. Still sending it back though. Lol
Funny thing to me is, if Magpul knows about this issue, why the heck are they still shipping cases?

Maybe a Playproof instead? People seem to love them, unfortunately I don't have experience with them
Heard its very slippery ? Anyone can confirm ?

The guy says that they are no longer shipping the defective cases. You would think they would have checked them before manufacturing and shipping thousands of cases.
I would call and complain and see what they say.

Maybe they'll issue you a refund and not ask you to return the bad case? If so, I'd keep it and take my Dremel to it.

In my opinion it's much bulkier than pics online perceive it to be. Let me see if I can find pics of it...

It isn't unbearable but it is heavy too
Interested to see how this compares to your Element Sector.
It's much cheaper that's for sure.
Thinking about ordering the citron Element form Amazon but don't want to end up with your return.
I've been looking at the case on Amazon and for the past couple of weeks and there has been 13 in stock.
All of a sudden there is 14 (your return) in stock. My luck I would get the one you returned with that spot on it.
They don't seem to be selling too fast.
More likely as mentioned they already sent out shipments to suppliers. So they have back stock to sell or take back and take a lose.

You would not receive my returned case unless you chose to buy from Amazon Warehouse one of their used like new or used very good condition type of cases. You would receive a brand-new one and if that one had any issues they are very good about swapping them out. They sent me a replacement without even waiting for me to send the original one back in.
