Tech21 - EVO CHECK Case for Apple® iPhone® 7 Plus and 8 Plus - Smokey/Black

I purchased this case in April 2017, my main reason for my purchase of this specific case was that it was clear and allowed my phone to be seen while offering more than minimal protection. I am rating the case as fair because 3 months later it has done a fine job of protecting my iPhone 7 Plus but unfortunately the case it self has darkened and yellowed. My only guess is that it was defective material that allowed the case to become darkened, yellowed and unsightly, but as stated earlier it still serves it intended purpose of protecting the phone. I did contact the company (tech21) under their Limited Lifetime Warranty, unfortunately I paid cash for my case and I failed to put the receipt in the original box which i still had and without the receipt the company was unwilling to honor the Warranty.

I purchased this case in the store because I wanted to physically feel it before getting it. This is the only case I could find that had any sort of "grip" to it. All the other cases were too slick and I was afraid the phone would slip and drop, especially if I was trying to hold the phone with one hand (since I have the iPhone 7 Plus and it's nearly the size of an iPad mini). While this case does have a smooth surface, it's made out of that flexible, rubbery (or whatever) material that your fingers sort of "stick" to (which is a GOOD thing), yet it doesn't show finger prints and it still allows the phone to slip in and out of pockets easily. I like the minimal design because it stays true to the iPhone "look" (I got the black case for my black phone) without adding a ton of bulk. As far as the protection factor, I haven't dropped my phone yet so I can't really give an informed opinion on protection, but I'm hoping it protects well (fingers crossed). The only complaint I have is that this case makes the power button on the side EXTREMELY difficult to activate, so it requires you to push REALLY hard to get it to work. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this case and I'd recommend it, but I do wish the power button functionality worked a little better.

This case is crazy-amazing. I love that the case does not add too much bulkyness, keeping the sleek shape of the iPhone’s design on full display. And it fits snugly around the edges of the phone to give maximum screen viewing and total protection from drops that result in the phone landing on its face, or that ever-reverberating crash onto a corner of the device that has a strong tendency to damage not only the screen but the casing of the phone as well. I buy the same case for all of my new phones. I am glad, too, because just hours after putting this on my new iPhone 8s, I dropped it. The phone landed face down, but all was well because of the quality and security this case offers. I have since dropped my phone at least three more times, on various landing surfaces and still not a scratch. The protection capacity for the case is a “10” and the overall “low profile,” sleek nature makes this case a must buy!!

This case was purchased for a new 8 plus. I was looking for a firm rubber case as I feel they absorb impact better than those hard plastic ones. This case if pretty durable. I've dropped my phone a couple time since and it has done it's job protecting the phone. There's one major design flaw with this case. The opening for the Ring/Silent switch is so small and recessed, you need to put an object in there (paperclip, pen, anything small) in order to flip it on and off, unless you have really long nails. I'd say most men will have issues since we don't typically have nails that extend beyond our fingertips. Had I know this, I probably wouldn't have purchased. But if you have long (ladylike) fingernails, you might like it.

This case was exactly what I was looking for after using the Lifeproof cases for years for my iPhone, which always resulted in decreased photo quality and muffled or even cutting out of sound when talking on the phone. This case is slim, flexible, and doesn’t distort pictures or sound because the openings are not covered at all. It’s even slim enough to use the charging dock that I couldn’t use with other cases because they were too bulky. There is no screen protection on this model but they are easy enough to find if you want to apply one for extra protection. I’ve had a few short drops (2-3 feet) and so far so good! I only wish they had the clear in stock when I bought mine, but the smoke color is a good compromise.

I have been a Tech21 fan for many years. Each product I have purchased for my Samsung and Apple devices has been a top notch product in terms of style, performance and protection. This Evo Check case is no different. I would highly recommend this case for the following reasons: -The case adds almost no bulk to make the phone look "chunky" -The edges are extremely protective while adding minimal bulk. I have dropped my iPhone 7 plus numerous times on different points of impact with no damage to the phone or screen. -The case composition makes for easy grip of the phone. It also allows for minimal movement when on slanted surfaces or dashboards. -The clear back with a herringbone pattern and the white outside edging complement my iPhone 7 Plus nicely. I highly recommend this case or any case from Tech21. You can't go wrong with Tech21.

I have used Speck cases in the past, and this case is less bulky. I am using the iPhone 7 case with the iPhone 6 because there were limited colors available in the iPhone 6 cases. You can't use the headphone jack since the opening is different in that area. The opening is for the added speaker for the iPhone 7, but it isn't the right size to use for the headphone jack. The bottom of the case is a little flimsy, moves easily, since there are such large openings at the bottom of the iPhone now, and the bottom of the case is not stiff plastic. I'm not sure this will be a problem if the phone is dropped. I like the new colors that Tech 21 is now offering. I hear that it protects you phone better than any other case because it dampens the impact force on the inside components of the phone. Time will tell.

I purchased this item to protect an IPhone 7 plus and was truly disappointed. The case is very flimsy, felt really cheap and did not have a good feel when it was placed on my phone. I reminded me of the 3 dollar phone cases that flood the local flea markets. When I unpacked the case from the packaging, it was obviously used as it had scratches and marks on the case. The original packaging did not appear to have been opened prior to my purchasing it. I did not appreciate the fact that there was no quality control. Who knows if the case was used by someone at the company and repackaged as new. I am not a happy consumer and the product was ultimately returned to the store where purchased.
