I was also a fan of the Spigen Glass screen protectors but they are quite pricey compared to ESR and I honestly can’t say that they’re any better.
I’m definitely in the ESR camp now.

I’m definitely in the ESR camp now.
Well I've finally just had confirmation from Music Magpie that my XR has arrived, almost 22 hours after the tracking said it was delivered. Now comes the wait for them to assess it and by the sound of their email an even longer wait for the cash to hit my account.
Has anyone had any update on their MagSafe Wallet?
My order is due between Nov 4th and 11th.

finding the ESR screen protector has quite a rough edge. With a case it wouldn't be an issue but without its a little annoying.
as for purchase options, UK 0% 24 months vs iup:
iphone 12 on iup - £56.45 per month x 20 months, with a £69 upfront charge. You can upgrade after 11 payments by handing the phone back. you can always choose to sell the phone and settle the finance which may save some money, but with the knowledge Apple will swap if you need to (in case resale prices fall a lot for some reason)
iphone 12 on 0% 24 months - £49.91 including applecare. No upfront. So £6.50 per month less expensive. If you want to upgrade after 12 months you'd need to settle again, and this time you'd have a higher settlement fee as you've paid half off, vs 11/20ths on iup.
I'm on 24monhts now - mainly because I could do it online and didn't need to go to a shop, which the iup required

Had payment taken today for my Silver Pro, was due 9th November but I'll assume it'll ship by Monday now.
Ordered on 16th along with Pacific Blue Pro but that was pick up and i've since returned it due to not liking the colour.
Can't wait for get my hands back on one, MagSafe case shipped today and waiting on the MagSafe charger.

I've not seen one that is both edge to edge and has the notch cut out. They are all similar to the Belkin and only cover the glass over the display, leaving the edges unprotected.
My first screen protector for my 12 pro was this.
TOZO Compatible for iPhone 12 / iPhone 12 Pro 6.1 inch Screen Protector [3-Pack] Premium Tempered Glass [0.26mm] 9H Hardness 2.5D Film Super Easy https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08GLHKZRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mzUMFb8VTJZ6A
It is edge to edge with a cut out for the notch. I did however prefer a full screen protector so now have a ESR one installed. Both fitted perfectly.

Mine’s moved to Preparing to Ship also! I’ve not been excited about a new phone for years, but I’m totally ready to move on from my XR...
Made the mistake of taking my case off - reminded me just how nice the phone is and now I’m tempted to go caseless! Have put the case back on to try and forget again...
I've got the ESR one and it looks exactly the same... it is really hard to see / tell that it has the screen protector on. I don't normally bother with screen protectors as I hate the gap (Belkin) but these fit perfectly... bought a second pack while they're reduced... just in case.
Thanks. They received at 1418 so should hear today I imagine. I valued it as new as always has been in a case and screen protector installed as soon as I got it.
If you ring them and speak with them. They can lock the price for 14 days. They did it for me and change DPD collection from today to 8th Nov.
Yes, a 3 pack at a reduced price on Amazon works out at about £2 each.
They’re not at all thick. You won’t notice it’s on.
Edit: They only have 5% off now rather than £2 so they’re not quite as cheap as when I bought them, but still a bargain.
