Has anyone bought an apple case for the 7/7+ on online store for delivery? Mine has said delivery 13th-15th since Friday and has been preparing for dispatch ever since but still not been sent or charged :-(

Just wondering if anyone else's has been dispatched yet?
Mine was dispatched this morning
 
Is it wrong for me to be very excited about my delivery arriving from Dave at DPD between 4-5pm today? It has my iPhone 7+ silicone case and matching Apple Watch sports strap. Both in a new colour of pink sand. I feel like it's a dummy run for Friday when my Rose Gold 128Gb iPhone 7+ is due. I'm obsessively following Dave on the map :p
 
I've never used a Skin before but have considered it in the past, I might give it a go this time around!

It takes a bit of patience, especially getting the corners to stick down (very clearly explained in instructions and videos) Once applied I wrap tightly in a cohesive bandage overnight which ensures everything stays stuck down. Any bubbles left when you unwrap disappear over the next 24-48 hrs

I make do with just the skin, for my son's Jet Black 7+ I am going to put this skin on under hist case to prevent the case from scratching. Not affiliated with Best Skins Ever, just a very satisfied customer

Ordered iPhone 7 Plus 32GB in Black on Friday and got confirmation @ 8:17, one of the later orders I realise, but haven't had any changes to my delivery and it's still on "Processing Items" too. Will I just accept it'll arrive on either the 27th, 28th or 29th then?

Well my new iPhone 7 leather case arrived at least! Still on processing for iPhone JB Friday instore pickup.
Looking at the new case (I have the old one for my 6) and the inside edges aren't the smoothest... could be something my Jet Black won't like. I only use a back case when on holidays and a slip on case for day to day.
So begins my OCD plight over this Jet Black.
 
Possibly. They've started doing this in an Apple Store I visited in France. Haven't seen it in the UK yet.

Really? There is an Apple Store that doesn't let you hold iPhones? That's crazy! I hope they don't do that here

They'll let you hold the others, just not the jet black...instead they will just let you see the jet black. Merely an educated guess btw.

Poor Dave has a Stalker! lol :D
 
They did it for the high value Apple watches and some accessories in some London stores. People will look at the shiny black iPhone glistening from its display case and instantly want that, all whilst not knowing that they are buying a phone that will eventually look more like the iPhone silver lol
I think do it for all the watches at every store, and have a couple of demos floating about.

I did this recently, I was waiting for a sonos connect to be delivered from Amazon prime now. I was tracking the delivery driver onto our street.....

He stopped halfway along our road then moved off, pausing briefly outside our house before driving off....

Then I got the "Your package has been delivered." message. Umm, no it hasn't. He delivered it to the wrong house and once he'd made the delivery, I lost the ability to contact him. 6 hours later and numerous calls to amazon call centres being told "there was nothing they could do and that they'd have to refund which would take 7 days" I managed to get through to a guy in ireland, he tracked down the depot and delivery driver and made him go back and recover the parcel and deliver it correctly.

Be careful stalking delivery drivers! lol

Wow you can hardly see it! I think my Jet Black Plus will be just fine! :) Definitely going to order one! How much does shipping cost or is it available to buy in the UK?

My Orzly super slim case just arrived, complete with a begging letter asking me to leave a review, and explaining that they're super cheap because they wanted to get them out quickly to be reviewed or something.

It actually looks like a very nice case, better than a similar style one I bought for my iPhone 6 from eBay which was utterly crap. It's smooth, very thin, just comes down to how it will fit now!
Mines popped through the letter box this morning. Not opened yet and phone due early Oct. The feel of the case and the size of it alone worries me. 3rd time of trying the plus size so hopefully sticks.
 
Been off here for years, but iPhone launch just brings me back.

256GB matte black plus, confirmation email at 8:03 and stuck firmly at 27-29 September.

Should I be cancelling my day off on Friday?

Skinomi made the original ones of these I believe? I've used them for years on my iPad! I'll be using a more protective case on my phone because I'm out and about with it a lot, but they are great.
