Is there anybody here who really wanted a matte black 7-Plus...but settled on a silver model because of availability?
How do you like the silver/white color now?
There are no known concerns over the Matte Black with fingerprints and/or scratching. It's the Jet Black you're referring to, the glossy / shiny one.

Do u find the white face distracting?
I quite like how everything is blacked out on the black face - that only the screen is bright? If you know what I mean?
I had ordered a matte black, but gold was a close second. So when I found a gold in stock at the Apple Store, it wasn't a difficult decision to cancel the matte black and take the gold. Color isn't much of a concern to me anyway. I do have a clear case but I mostly carry my phone in my Apple black leather case.
Given all the concerns with the blacks in terms of fingerprints, scratches, etc. I am rethinking waiting to get one. Silver would be my third choice, but maybe the right one. I'll probably have a damn case on it most of the time, so it may not matter.

I essentially went and got a silver/white model....But just couldnt do it... Finally found a Matte Black 256gb at a local sams club and purchased. And extra plus is that all of their phones are at A1661 models so mine is already fully unlocked as well.
I originally had a silver 7 Plus but I just couldn't get over the fact that it wasn't black. My last several iPhones were silverI—I like the color a lot—but the black is really sharp. I ended up babysitting the Apple Store availability web site and trading my silver in for black as soon as I found one.
