the Summit was the second phone in the survivor line. the first phone was originally not named but is now called the All Terrain. The Summit does not have a flap over the camera. It has a hinged flap over the lightning port. It can cover the port completely to prevent dirt from entering. I have no problems plugging in my charger or headphones into the port. The improvements in the Summit is why I suggested it specifically and not any case in the Survivor lineup. the OP originally wanted a Defender case, but could not buy one. buying an iPhone 6 case often does not work because the bulge for the camera is bigger for the 7 and dirt, dust and sand easily enters the case through the headphone jack which is not needed for the 7.
With the survivor summit, the iPhone lays inside what seems like a shallow box. The top of the case with the screen protector slides on grooves inside the case. the two pieces lock the phone in place snugly. The last time I checked, Otterbox holds the iPhone in place with clamps on each of the corners. If the iPhone wiggles a little, the clamps will scratch the glass on the front of the iPhone.
