Class up your iPhone 7! Moshi Napa, Kameleon, Overture and iGlaze Reviews - iPhone 7/7 Plus cases

I’m a big fan of Moshi cases. They’re one of the few companies that can label their products as “premium” and I’d believe them. Out of this grouping of cases, I personally prefer the Moshi Kameleon and the Overture. In fact, the Overture is one of the top wallet cases you can get for the iPhone 7 and the Kameleon breaks the Top 10 for slim iPhone 7 cases.

I am a little disappointed with the iGlaze as it doesn’t handle well. The same could be said for the Napa but the vegan leather on the case makes up for the slickness.

For our Moshi Kameleon Review, I’ve given this case a score of 4 Eh’s out of 5, the Overture a score of 4.4 Eh’s out of 5, the Napa a score of 3.8 Eh’s out of 5 and the iGlaze 3.6 Eh’s out of 5. If you want to know how all these cases stack up against each other, check out my website for the Top 10 Wallet and Top 10 Slim cases.

Top 10 Guides for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6: iGlaze

So let's get started with the Moshi iGlaze which I gave a score of 3.6. Out of these 4 cases, this is my least favourite case. Mostly because it handles like a wet bar of soap. The back of the case is very slick which doesn't help one-handed usage one bit.

The case is quite thin, in fact every Moshi case in this list other than the Overture is thinner than the average case.

The iGlaze (and every Moshi case in this video) is drop-rated to Mil-STD 810g though Moshi doesn't specify the height so I'm assuming 4ft drop protection. The edges of the case are high enough to keep the screen off a flat surface.

Accessing the iPhone in the case is great. The buttons are easy to access through the case, port cutouts can fit large cables and the camera or flash isn't blocked by the case.

Moshi Napa

Onto the Napa which got a score of 3.8 Eh's out of 5. It is pretty much a iGlaze with a leather back. The case is slightly thicker than the iGlaze but still thinner than most cases. This is a fancier case as the iPhone sits on a piece of felt which won't matter to the device but it feels great.

Again, the biggest difference with the Napa is the vegan leather back. The Napa handles much better than the iGlaze as the leather back has more texture. Despite the added texture, it will still slide around a bit.

The only other thing to add about regarding protection is that the polycarbonate shell may chip during a drop. This is slightly different than other cases as the corners will deform, not chip.

Moshi Kameleon

Onto the Kameleon, which is basically a Napa that comes with a kickstand. The addition of the kickstand brings the case score over 4 which is hallowed territory within my scoring system.

The Kameleon is one of the best feeling cases that I’ve used. Moshi doesn’t state if the back is leather or not but it feels quite nice. It has a bit of give and has a nice texture to it.

I like how Moshi integrated the kickstand in the look of the case as the larger kickstand definitely helps with the versatility of the case. If you use your iPhone’s to binge watch Netflix or do a lot of video conferencing, you need the Moshi Kameleon.

Moshi Overture

Onto the Moshi Overture which is #2 in my Top 10 Wallet cases for the iPhone 7. The Moshi Overture is a full on wallet replacement as it can fit several cards, cash and a RFID card. My only gripe with this wallet case is that the wallet doesn’t stay together.

From a protection standpoint, the Moshi Overture does cover the entire edge of the iPhone despite having a flappy cover. The edges of the case extend past the screen, even with a screen protector. I was thinking the high edges of the wallet case might interfere with the flash but it doesn’t.

The wallet case can also be used as a kickstand though it isn’t as slick as the Kameleon. It will still suffice while you binge watch Netflix. The neatest thing about the Overture is the reusable microfibre cloth. Even though it is small, it is very handy in giving the iPhone screen a quick clean.
