Hello, I am having to use my iphone 7 for a while, (my mini 13 is down). Usually with my mini 13, I just use a screen protector in combination with a thin hard rubber case. Usually no issues. But if I remember correctly the iphone 7 is less water resistant and easier to crack/damage? Will I need the clamshell-style case or should I just stick with a thin "open" case? I will not be able to use Touch ID because it has an aftermarket home button. Also, where can I buy one? I don't have a Prime account, so I may have to factor in shipping. I can also buy at Walmart.com
Good case for iPhone 7? Good quality battery? Where to buy?

Honestly with how old that phone is, I would start with thrift stores, they usually will bag up phone cases and sell by the bundle, in the electronics isle.
I would check with your carrier. They might have limited 4G LTE coverage
This doesn’t make sense to do since so much functionality is unavailable. I would only do this if you truly only plan on using it as a phone
iphones are designed to work better without a case, like literally all famous ppl never use ugly case, just medium class use cases toshow off and u have nothing to show off on a 10 gen older iphone
unless u work on a construction site oc u are very clumsy a case is just big waste of money def no frugal at all
and for the battery it wont make a big difference, i use my old iphone 11 with 45% battery health when my iphone 14 is charging and theres to much dif i get around 3:20 hours on the iphone 11 and 4:30 hours on my iphone 14 of actively nonstop usage
anyway ur best bet is ebay, battery for 100 bucks and the case should be 15-20 bucks
u can go to flea market and try ur luck find a cheaper case and battery but is all luck maybe u will just waste time and gas, ebay is safer, cheaper and trustworthy
