Tech 21 T21-5357 Evo Wallet Case with FlexShock for Apple iPhone 7 Plus - Black

Protective, aesthetic, tactile, innovative - just brilliant
Exquisite. I have had 7 or 8 iPhone cases from some of the best sources and this case outshines them all. The positive points are; Protection 10/10 - the body of the case is as protective as my Spigen Armoured case, the front flap is solid and the clip is wonderfully firm and safe once clicked shut (plus, it is small enough that it doesn't snag on your pocket). Aesthetics - 9/10 OK, it's just black and partially transparent, but the front has a great texture, the back is smooth with a nice hint of the phone inside, and even the Tech21 Logo is tasteful and quiet. It looks great (not quite as cyber/military as some protective cases) and feels better. Useability 8/10. Comfortable to hold and easy to use. Any case with a flap is a little harder to use when taking photos, but that is the same for all of them so it is not a negative for this case. The flap does not magnetically clip to the back when fully open as with my other case, but I have not found this a problem. Also, if you want a case for standing your phone up as a screen this is not the case for you, but I don't want that so that is not an issue. On a HUGE positive note, the case holds your credit/bank card in a neat and easy to access slot and the case has a flap that protects your phone glass from the card(s). This flap is magnetically held to the front so does not flap around in use but is easy to open to get to your card...and the fact that it protects your screen from that hard, plastic card is just brilliant. It is the best design I have seen for this on any case. You can remove the front flap and replace it with a widget that covers the hole, but it is tricky and fiddly so if yo want a front flap that removes and replaces quickly this is NOT the case for you. However, if you want something that is solid and protective and clips very firmly and satisfyingly shut, looks and feels great and slides in and out of your pocket easily and carries your card(s) quite brilliantly whilst giving you good access to all buttons etc I give this case a very rare 9/10 (and I only go above 8/10 for exceptionally good products)

Poor Clasp
Bought this performed ok for a about 6 weeks but suddenly on holiday the closing mechanism fell off. It is broken (see picture ) I could possibly glue it back together but I think the company should send me a new cover and give me the option of keeping a spare in case the new one breaks too. Come on guys you need to sort this. It spoils an otherwise excellent product. It really can't be that difficult to fix this !!!! I need some return communication on this otherwise I will have to revise my scoring downwards !!

Using this case causes muffled voice calls with iPhone 7 Plus
My first impressions of this case were quite favourable, it seemed to offer comprehensive protection for my iPhone 7 Plus and be of a decent build quality. Then after a few days of use I realised that people kept on asking me to repeat myself while on voice calls. This had never been an issue previously, but now people were consistently complaining that my voice sounded muffled and they couldn't hear me properly. Without moving location or ending the call I simply removed my iPhone from this case and immediately the audio quality was back to its usual clarity. Having read through more customer reviews on Amazon I have discovered that I am not the only person to suffer from this and it is obvious that this case is in some way incompatible with the iPhone 7 Plus. I am returning it for a refund as it is not fit for purpose.

Great idea but flawed execution.
I was excited to try the Tech 21 Evo Wallet. It had everything I was looking for in a case, style, a card holder slot which was removable and adequate protection.The card slots are great...until you start putting cards into it, the case then has problems. The clasp no longer fits without issue and the cover just looks bulky.Real shame as I wanted this to work. I’ll probably go for the Otterbox instead.

Disappointed
Started off being a great phone case as I have had tech 21 products in the past and they have lasted a couple of years I would have hope this was going to do the same. I have had the case less than 2 months and the plastic on the flip part that goes into the hole to hold it closed has already broken off. I looked on amazon to see if any way to get in touch but apparently the returns and complaints window closed a few days ago. So it cost a lot to last only 2 months.

Degraded sound to people calling and being called.
Great protection for my iPhone 7 Plus. However I get complaints from people calling me and that I am calling of poor sound quality. Removing the case improves the sound. Suggest the maker finds the cause and rectify.

Great protection but not good for calls
I have loved this cover, it provides good protection and the wallet part is very useful. However nobody can hear me when they call. I cut the wee bit of rubber off the bottom and it slightly improved but not enough and i now have to bin it :-(
