I ended up with white silicone last year to match my white/silver 12 Pro Max. Case still looks brand new.
Had to return California Poppy & Saddle Brown cases to Amazon as I swapped my initial 12 in gold for the white.
Going matte black with the 13 but case choice will depend on available colours, I would ideally like a leather this year.
I usually avoid third party cases, nothing against them but I just prefer stock Apple.
Seems like you can, just not online just need to do the purchase in-store.Heads up if like me you buy £1100 currys gift cards through work to save 8% well don’t you cannot use them to buy mobile phones anymore wankers not you lot currys lol
So if the rumours are right, what colour is everyone going for? Still very undecided… recently I’ve gone:
X: Silver
XS Max: Silver
11 Pro: Midnight Green
12 Pro: Pacific Blue
Don’t really think bronze would do it for me, and not the biggest fan of murdered-out black… back to silver it may be.
They probably won’t have it in store on launch and I wouldn’t get my 10% cashback ,so will probably go the Argos route 6% off vouchers and 10% cashback did they receive on launch day last year does anybody know ?Seems like you can, just not online just need to do the purchase in-store.
I’ve been sticking to Apple silicon cases for a while now and never had issues. My 12 case is seeing some weer and tear now

It’s the cover I typically go to when I need to get the phone out the case which might have contributed to it.
Saying that, not had the phone out the case in a long time and did so to take the above photo! It feels soooo good ceaseless ( a bit slippery mind!) but feels smaller and lighter.
Yep. I love the phone without the case but put the case on to make sure I don't suffer major damage….that’s EXACTLY how I feel every time I remove my 12 from it’s leather case to clean it - the naked iPhone looks so nice without a case and feels beautiful but it’s just the fact that if it drops to the ground, it’s gonna land HARD and take some serious damage so I always begrudgingly feel the need to put the case back on!
I’ve had 2 occasions with Voda where the esim swap failed and it took the full 24hrs. Maybe unlucky but it’s a total pain.It's the up to 24 hour part that really puts me off, at the moment with my Sim card it takes just a few seconds.

Hmm , maybe a glass back protector? Are they even a thing?Got my eye on those too for the same reason. Just worried about the actual protection capabilities 😂
Yeah that does worry me, but as above, and also I’m considering Rhinoshield’s Mod NX to give me the best of both worlds.I only ever had one bumper case, it was free as part of the signal issue fix on the iPhone 4. It was ok, but as the back of the iPhone 13 will probably be glass I feel happier with a standard case.
Ahh you’re not wrong actually. I remember using the bumpers on the 4S. Didn’t think about the width issue. I may order one anyway and return it if I don’t like it......I've never liked just bumper cases as it makes the phones feel too wide when in the hand + your fingers have to naturally rest on the bare naked iPhone back, which then makes it all 'fingerprinty and grimmy'!!!!!!
😂 my ideal case would be an invisible force field around the phone...my anxieties wouldn't be able to cope with a bumper case's lack of protection!
only ever had it once when Apple gave out free ones for Antenna-gate!

I’m sure it’ll sell a ton! I’m guessing the blue will be much lighter this year. Baby blue maybe....pink iPhone 13 anyone?
😄
I don't know why MR keep using that diarrhoea-coloured 13 Pro mockup... surely the bronze won't look like that 🤢
I hadn't thought of it like that but now that you mention it that is exactly what that colour is. 🤮I don't know why MR keep using that diarrhoea-coloured 13 Pro mockup... surely the bronze won't look like that 🤢
After reading this I think I will keep my physical Sim card for a bit longer.I’ve had 2 occasions with Voda where the esim swap failed and it took the full 24hrs. Maybe unlucky but it’s a total pain.

*okay, not new at all, very old but it'll do until the 13 Pro arrives...
Yep! Forgot how amazing the Jet Black really is. Admittedly it's seen better days but it'll get the job done every year when I need it for a couple of weeks! 😂w
was that your MM purchase?
