Thanks
I have use a Mous Limitless 5.0 case though. Do you know if this lens cover will fit with the Mous case? I have a feeling it won't because of the way the Mous case is designed around the cameras.

The protector is same size as the rear camera module. I think it will be ok.
 
Yeah seems £12 a month so £6 for each line. I did have a sim only deal I just got but cancelled that one recently
Wait do you have two contracts? The £76 a month deal with EE is going up to like £86 with these price increases, well thats what they told me!
 
I’m too ‘scared’ to sell on eBay or elsewhere. Too worried about getting scammed or someone putting in some kind of claim against me. Y’know? Probably all in my head lol

All in your head pal...

Do your due diligence when selling; stick it up for a ''Buy it now or Best Offer' listing unless you want to go through the auction side of things

Make sure that the buyer a) has good feedback and b) pays via Managed Payments (or bank transfer on collection; avoid ALL to do with PayPal) and you'll be fine...

I never send anything until the funds have cleared in my bank account and I make the buyer aware of that also

I also have a completely separate bank account for all online transactions and once the funds land in there; then I transfer them to my main bank account etc...

Peace of mind!
 
Anybody know how strict Music Magpie is about scratches/paint chipping away on the stainless steel edges?
MM gave me full quoted price of £251 for my burner iPhone 11 which I bought (pics below) from Cash Converter for £229 last year. I confirmed the order online and took to MM kiosk. It was accepted on first attempt.

Apart from them marks on display iPhone was spotless.

I fully intended to stick with my iPhone 13 Pro Max for at least one more upgrade cycle. But a new role at work has made carrying such a big phone untenable. I just picked up a 14 Pro, space black, 512 GB, plus the same green silicone case as I have on my 13PM. I had the fine folks at the Apple Store install a Belkin screen protector right there before anything. I peeled off the protective screen cover and handed the phone to the installer. When he handed it back to me I put it right into the silicone case. Took it home to set up using the side-by-side old phone/new phone transfer method. Took maybe 30 minutes total including a software update. Apps are still updating in the background.

No pre-order at this point is necessary. I did go online to check availability & local pickup, but I just walked in and bought it. As is my norm, I added AppleCare+ with theft insurance. I figure I'm almost as protected as is possible, short of adding a huge Otterbox case.

For my wallpaper/background I went old school. Clownfish!

That’s good advice. And I might just heed it come August time depending on how much extra I can get for it. Appreciate it buddy!

That’s really good going! I’m a big fan of the Kiosk, it worked well for me last year with the 13. I might take my chances with it again this year and if it degrades my phone due to the scratches, stick it on eBay.

If you dont mind me asking how did you end up scratching your iPhone?

I don't use a case; I don't think I've been any more/less careless either but my Sierra Blue last year was basically spotless. The edges on my Deep Purple this year, however, have multiple scratches/scuffs. They don't bug me personally

Used the MM Kiosk the other week at Asda myself, had to create a new trade in as it wouldn’t accept the original QR code.

Security guard on duty said he’s seen several people give up with it as it wouldn’t work for them but managed to get it going myself.
