Any opinion on silicon cases? I like the plum one, but coming from leather apple cases since iPhone 6, i don’t like how it feels on my hand since yesterday. I am thinking to return it for a leather one once they come out... thoughts?

I think I'm going to go for a leather case. I'm not a fan of the silicone cases normally

Are the leather cases effective at protecting the back glass? I’ve got one on my iPhone 7 Plus but I’m not sure how well they protect glass.
 
Just talking to EE now, I originally got it down to £16 (100GB + 1 smart benefit) with 20% and £3 loyalty discount without renewing into a new contract

Looking to get the £28 unlimited plan + 1 smart benefit for £17.40, trying my best but they tell me I recently changed so can't do anything for 30 days, is that true?

Used an apple leather case on my 7+, X and 11 Pro. Dropped each phone about as much as the average person and each phone has still been in pristine condition when its come to trading it in/selling.

Currently have a Plum apple silicone on my 12 Pro simply as the leather ones weren't on sale, I do really like it, but I feel like it somehow attracts dust to the screen... Original plan was to return it within the 14 days and replace with a leather one once they come out. Still deciding on whether to or not as it is a really nice looking case

I am on that unlimited plan which I upgraded to a week ago and I don’t see an option to upgrade in the EE app. So I think that’s true...
 
Ringke Fusion Matte Compatible with iPhone 12 Case, Translucent Matte Finish Back Shockproof Soft TPU Bumper Phone Cover for iPhone 12 6.1-inch (2020) - Clear https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08H6M4K4P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cLwLFb3186SXG

I have this on my Graphite at the moment. Hands down the best clear case I have ever tried. I hate clear cases because of how they attract fingerprints. With the matte back of this one, non-existent. Perfect fit, buttons feel great. I have even ordered a second one for if/when the TPU sides turn yellow so I’m not caught out and cannot get it anymore.

I’ve got the clear one, do you find that the frame edges stick to the polished frame and display watermarks?

If we order the promax on the time Its available on apple store app etc. is it likely to be harder/easier to get if you go For apple upgrade program, does that make it any less likely to get? If you log on at 1pm are you likely to get an order at delivery day or did the site crash for the first wave of preorders?
 
my first message was basically asking if they could add my studentbeans discount code to my plan and the advisor said yes and did a security check and then 2-3 mins later it was applied. I checked the EE app immediately and it was there. I then asked if I could get a £5 loyalty discount because I know friends who have it and I’ve been with EE for a few years and the advisor said to wait for a few mins and then said he asked his supervisor who agreed to it and it has now been applied as well. It doesn’t show up on the EE app yet but let’s see!
Push your luck and ask them for a free pair of BeatsX headsets 😁;) Mine should be in 7 days time. Worth a try

If you are within your 14 days then you should be able to renegotiate

Thank you for that information :)
 
I use it to take screenshots and lock my device lol.

Ah I’m finding it quite useful atm my double tap is Home Screen and triple is app switcher

If these work for you guys then that’s awesome. But for me those 4 things are really simple to do with the standard buttons or gestures, I have really big hands and none of my fingertips actually touch the back of the phone whilst using it.

Yep that what I done I went from 28 unlimited sim with student discount ask them on live chat to add the loyalty discount 5 pounds off again.. To £17.40

Changed my plan again using my 14 days cooling off period to 11 pounds 100gb 5G data.. :) 6 pounds savings.

Hardly using anything over 700mb data these days working at home.
So you keep the discount and same loyalty discount if you just change plan?
