Some folks complain that the Peel case broke after use. I had mine for several months and it held up just fine, until I dropped my phone.
Peel definitely isn't the most durable but it's super thin, almost unnoticeable.
I had some Peel cases for my iPhone 6... I'd recommend them for the 7 for sure.
Think my combo will have to be 7+ and peel case... I need the battery! (currently on 6 with battery case)
@scriptstar Yeah same experience here. The plastic seems to me a tad too thing and low quality to actually retain its shape for more than 3 months. Mine ended up looking like a saran wrap after a while!
@robjbye @scriptstar personally Spigen Air Skin are WAY better cases ;) - durable and super thin
@scriptstar yeh mine came a little loose after 5 months or so... but I bought like 3/4 and just switched them over.
Granted this isnt the ideal use-case because you shouldn't need to but I cant stand a dirty case so like having a fresh one as often as possible (within reason - e.g. not my battery case!)
@scriptstar This comment thread changed my opinion from buy to skip in 1 sec. The power of reviews! Hope the creators read this thread as well!
@scriptstar yea same, was amazing for the first few months. Felt great and my friends loved but then became saggy as you said. I've gone back to being caseless
when it's this thin and doesn't really buffer against impact from a few feet high, why even use this kind of case?
Purchased it before and sadly had the same stretching issue... Love hearing that it's improved!
I hope it works.

The email/video you receive after ordering is worth the $25 alone. Despite the couple of not so great reviews, I'm giving these guys a shot. The logolessness is a huge selling point for me, that spigen logo is fugly!
Just had mine delivered in SF and first thoughts compared to the older 6 Peel is that it does feel sturdier and tighter fitting to the iPhone 7. Took a bit of effort to get the device in. Feels great in the hand and without looking closely you wouldn't realize there was a case on it.
My first peel order was delayed for 2 months. When I got it, it was cracked. They sent me a new one pretty quickly, but after a month it "stretched" and my phone was sliding around in it. A month after that I dropped my phone and shattered the screen with my peel on it.
Sorry, just my experience but I thought others here might like to know...
Hi, I'm back 👋 I'm looking at iPhone 7 cases. I'm assuming T-Mobile will have some cases, but I like to switch them out - it's sort of an obsession. Anyways, as I'm giving this a second look, how will it protect the phone? It looks like I better not drop my phone!
**I saw the gif and that answers my question. The rounded / bump edges put me at ease.
I used to love Peel cases but after my iphone 5 cover broke, and my 6s cover became loose after 3 months, I'm starting to lose faith :(
@pieroborgo Hey Piero, very sorry to hear you had a bad experience with us. I'm pasting what I wrote to some others just now in here: We've been listening to customer feedback and began tweaking our plastics formula a while back. As part of this new case design for iPhone 7 we're releasing the new plastic formula that should cut down on excessive stretching over time. While it's certainly not impossible to stretch out, this new formula is muuuuuch better at holding up over time. We've also been slowly rolling this out to previous case designs as we produce more. Some of our most recent 6s now have this too. Someone from our team will be reaching out to you directly soon.
I think it's a tad unrealistic to expect a super thin case not to break down due to wear and tear eventually. It's a simple tradeoff: you can buy an Otter Box and put up with the added weight and clunkiness but have durability, or go for something sleeker that's not designed to survive an asteroid shower. Personally I prefer the latter. My Peel case has served its purpose and I'll probably get a new one soon.
I share the opinion of most of the other posters here: As soon as I got my iPhone 5s Peel case a while back, I loved it — it was the perfect case for me, no bulk, perfect design and colours, no unsightly branding and improved grip. I even shared the love on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WilliamWrigh....
But then the stretching happened. At first it was only on the power button corner, which made it harder to turn the iPhone off, but I kept using it. Then the whole thing starting stretching lengthwise up to the point where the iPhone would be sliding back and forth inside the case. Dust particles would now enter the case and start to scratch the back of the iPhone. I loved it, but was forced to remove it. 😢 💔
Love the case but I too had the same problem of it getting saggy after a few months of use and I ended up switching it between two different peel cases.
I'm with @bentossell on this product; I like to have a fresh phone case and appreciate an alternative to regular cases. This sounds like those other peel screen protectors where you can wrap the entire phone. A key difference with this one is the ability to customize your phone's protection by choosing different Peel colors. Super cool! It's a decent price point too, so you can buy a few of them to prepare for wear + tear. This product is a no brainier to me, and I appreciate this company and its competitors for offering cases now instead of after the phone is released. Happy selling, Peel team 🙂
@imaddin @juanbuis hey fellas, we've been listening to customer feedback and began tweaking our plastics formula a while back.

Some of our most recent 6s cases that are shipping now have this too. Someone from our team will be reaching out to you guys directly soon.
I bought one the last time this was hunted and had the same stretching issues everyone else shared. I also got an iPad mini case in the same order that ended up not fitting. I had tweeted at them before I ordered to doublecheck and they never replied.
The return process was just a ton of back and forth emails that unnecessarily dragged on for weeks. When I finally eventually got the credit it wasn't even for the right amount. I do not recommend Peel cases. I've switched to similar ones on Amazon for a fraction of the price that have held up way, way better.
