If you want the view to have the translucent nav bar (which is kind of nice) you have to setup a contentInset or similar.

Here is how I do it:

// Check if we are running on ios7
if([[[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] componentsSeparatedByString:@"."][0] intValue] >= 7) {
      CGRect statusBarViewRect = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame];
      float heightPadding = statusBarViewRect.size.height+self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;

      myContentView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(heightPadding, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
}
