Amazon fail for me too…

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.

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.
 
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.

Ill do the Bronze most likely on the Pro Max, as the Black I think will sell out within minutes so to ensure I get a day one delivery, Ill go with that one lol
 
Seems like you can, just not online just need to do the purchase in-store.
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 ?

….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!

Yep. I love the phone without the case but put the case on to make sure I don't suffer major damage

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.
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.
 
Got my eye on those too for the same reason. Just worried about the actual protection capabilities 😂
Hmm , maybe a glass back protector? Are they even a thing?

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.
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'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'!!!!!!
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.

my anxieties wouldn't be able to cope with a bumper case's lack of protection! :D

only ever had it once when Apple gave out free ones for Antenna-gate!
😂 my ideal case would be an invisible force field around the phone...

I’ve always purchased Space Grey / Graphite (whatever they call it each year), and use the phone naked 99% of the time.
If the Matte Black rumours turn out to be true, I’ll be a very happy camper! The blacker the better…
For the odd occasions when I do use a case, always an Apple one, usually silicone, sometimes leather. Use them so sporadically they always hold up very well.
 
Sold my 12 Pro Max and currently using my old Pixel 3 XL as there are no spare iPhones around.

Looking forward to getting the 13 Pro Max with Pro Motion! Not decided on a case but used my first ever leather case for the 12 pro max and really liked it but ended up with a serious dent in the bottom of it when I dropped it so I'm conscious they're quite fragile.

Only been an iPhone user since the iPhone 11 but upgraded each year since 😊

I tend to keep my handset for a 'crossover' period.
I like to setup by transferring the content from one handset to the next, even though I have iCloud backups....

I do have a MM price of £500 for my 11 Pro Max 256GB locked in since 8th Sept, which gives me a while to send it across, but I'm in no rush. If I go over that time period and lose that price, I'm sure I can still sell the handset privately for £500-550 quite easily.......

I don't know why MR keep using that diarrhoea-coloured 13 Pro mockup... surely the bronze won't look like that 🤢
that looks awful.... saying that it seems to match my default avatar background! :rolleyes:

one thing I have to say.. Apples finishes have all looked amazing and even more so when you get them hands on... I'm sure the supposed bronze won't be any different!
