The Jet Black iPhone demands a case — Apple recommend that you use one on their site, and The Verge showed just how scratched up their review unit got after just a week of use. Here are five cases that can keep your Jet Black iPhone 7 looking good, without covering up its unique look.

7. Olixar Ultra-Thin Gel Case
It’s no surprise that this thin and flexible case from Olixar is our best-selling iPhone 7 case. The case is perfectly clear, letting you show off your Jet Black iPhone 7 from all angles, and prevents ‘fine micro abrasions’ from accruing from normal use. It’ll also protect against drops to a certain extent, although thicker and more complex cases will generally do a better job.

6. Speck Presidio Tough Case
The Speck Presidio is a simple, strong case that protects your iPhone 7 from scratches and drops. It has a dual-layer design, mixing TPU and polycarbonate to form an impressive barrier against damage without ballooning to a silly size.

5. Olixar FlexiCover Complete Protection
This unique case is actually more like a whole body screen protector, adding complete 360 degree protection to the front, back and sides of your iPhone 7. The case is essentially an upgraded version of the Ultra-Thin Gel Case, made from the same materials and also available at a low price.

4. Peli Adventurer Tough Case
The Peli Adventurer is an impact-resistant case made from HPX — an impact-absorbing material inside a strong polycarbonate shell. It’s designed to meet military standards, allowing it to survive a 1.2m drop onto concrete. If you like to use your iPhone outdoors or you’re a little accident prone, this is a great choice.

3. Ghostek Cloak 2 Aluminium Tough Case
The Cloak 2 is something different, a clear case that uses a metallic bumper to provide additional protection and rigidity. That makes it better than its peers at standing up to impact damage, without sacrificing much bulk or weight. It’s also available in four shades, so you can match or contrast according to your preference.

2. Obliq Naked Shield Case
This polycarbonate iPhone 7 case adds considerable protection to your iPhone, while still displays its Jet Black exterior. The case even includes a helpful kickstand on the back, making it a cinch to watch movies on the go or keep an eye on incoming messages.

1. Bling My Thing Papillon Case
This clever clear case adds Swarovski Crystals arranged in a pretty pattern to the back of your iPhone. It’s a nice way to maintain that cool look of the Jet Black iPhone 7, while adding something to make it your own. There are two designs to choose from, in different colours.
