If I could pick one up for about £50-70 I think I’d get it. But £140 feels expensive to *me* too

Yes it is on the expensive side. But it’s more of a long term investment and should last several years. Plus when it comes to quality Belkin is one of the best brands out there. There are cheaper options from not well known brands but I wouldn’t have any confidence in them doing a good job or lasting a long time. Just like you pay a premium for Apple products you also pay a premium for quality like Belkin products.

Because some people wear their watch at night too so need something faster to top up the battery. Plus there are times when you may just need some extra charge quickly.

I wear mine to bed. I just top the charge up when reading before sleep and in the morning when having a shower. Works fine for me.

Really interested in these skins.

How easy is to apply them? Inevitably I'd expect edges may be left uncovered as it's not a case....am I right?
Click to expand...
Edges are indeed uncovered.

They have tutorial videos.

My advise would be to be patient and not rush. Otherwise its just about working in a dust free area and aligning.

Tried a case again this year but as expected, didn't enjoy it...even more so with the phones being heavier this cycle.

Opting for a skin setup instead. So my final setup is an ESR screen protector (front) and Xtremeskins clear matte skins (back, sides, camera).

Pretty chuffed with it. #teamnocase

PS excuse my photog skills, was also using an IPP 2018 for the shots.

That looks great. Have you a link for the skins?

Order it on Wednesday. They do BOGF with Wednesday Saver Code.

For £9.99 you will end up with four skins. There are two in one pack.

Dont go for clear gloss. It’s awful.

Oh damn, good advice. I’m in no rush so can wait till Wednesday for sure - is there a specific code I need or does the website immediately update accordingly?

Presumably if you email them with your order# they'll sort it out.

They're pretty good at responding in my experience.

Yes but it’s not just to charge the phone. If you have an Apple Watch and AirPods with a MagSafe case it will charge them too. For me it’s worth the convenience and not having to plug my devices in. Plus it only requires one power socket.
Click to expand...
I still couldn’t bring myself to pay that much for a device to charge my phone/watch/pods.

I get there’s a price to pay for convenience, but not £140 worth of it (IMHO of course).

Thanks mate! If I’m feeling bold/stupid/courageous I might get a non clear one just to try out too. Question is what one would go best with the deep purple without look tacky af 👀
Click to expand...
Yay, nay? Am I too in the hype of a skin and should I just stick with clear matt?

Edit: I think the black is the nicest of the two attached

The white/silver makes the purple pop more but will it stay clean with grubby hands. The black has nice stealthy look though.
