How do these new leather cases feel v last years, I am on North Coast and as soon as it gets warmer they become very sticky/clammy, back using my nomad now.
Same you reckon? ok whoops you don't have one yet. maybe @Boardiesboi might know?

I’d love to tell you, my leather case is meant to arrive tomorrow, most likely delayed now 🤦‍♂️ Aus post 🤦‍♂️

Never had a issue with the previous models, in saying that I do live in Melbourne though, totally different weather conditions.

Can’t say for certain if the new ones are better until I have the new phone and have used it for a few days.
But the new ones feel smooth and silky to the touch and have a distinct leather smell to them.

Never had a late delivery with TNT, wonder why apple doesn’t kick aus post to the curb and use TNT for their accessories as well.

Can the cops give you a fine if you tell them you’re taking your car out for a drive becuase it hasn’t been driven in a while lol?

My apple store is over 10km away, I’m still going, need a good reason just in case I get pulled over. 😁

6 reasons to leave home lol

1. shopping for necessary goods and services
2. caregiving or compassionate reasons, including medical care or to get a test
3. authorised work (with a permit) or permitted education
4. exercise (once a day for up to 4 hours, and that 4 hours includes any time spent outdoors socialising in limited groups)
5. outdoor social interaction in limited groups (once a day for up to 4 hours, and that 4 hours includes any time spent on exercise)
6. )

Not sure about the rules in Victoria, but in NSW you can travel further than the max. distance (for us it is still 5km) if the goods you are trying to buy are not available locally.

"If the goods or services are not available in the local government area where you live, or within 5km of where you live, you can travel to the nearest place where they are available."


I think there is an argument to be made that a mobile phone is essential (especially because we have to use it to check in everywhere).

But at least initially, you will be at the mercy of the person you encounter, who gets to interpret the rules on the spot...

Should be fine, I’m in my car alone, going for a drive for my mental health, once I get near the apple store I should be fine, they can’t fine me for that, I’ll contest it, I’m not putting anyone in any harm by being in my car alone.
