Other UK iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

[Deeps]

I haven't read all 195 pages of the thread, but have been actively watching over the last couple of days. There's been talk of cases so I thought I'd upload pictures of the one I've bought from Mous. It was eye-wateringly expensive. It's easily the most I've ever spent on a case, but it's an expensive phone...! 🤷‍♂️

That blue case looks great!

You got me thinking about getting one!

Ordered some nomad cases for 15 pro. First time trying them. Look quite nice.

Like Nomad cases, although I never had any.
The design and details seem great.
One only detail I fear not to protect the iPhone adequately is the lack of a soft lining in the sides the case. Most of leather cases have a soft lining, whereas the Nomad leather case has simply a rubber/plastic material with air gaps?
I honestly fear that to the iPhone frame in the long run....

Is that the coastal rock on the right? I was tempted by that as it looked green on their site but looks blue there.

Yes coastal rock. It definitely is green. Just looks different in that pic with the sunlight.

Can we all agree that GiffGaff are just scalpers now?

£100 on top of RRP is horrible.

Caseology
This is the link. This will do it until the Benks Kevlar case arrives.

I bet they sell bottles of PRIME on the black market too.

I'm confident, as they always have been reliable. It's just the self-inflicted inconvenience of being without an iPhone that makes me cross my fingers and toes a bit more tightly.

I feel your pain. I’ve been without a phone for about 2 weeks now so I’m ready to have one back tomorrow!

Saw in earlier post about Xtremeskins and thinking about ordering clear Matt for my 15PM. I did pick up the Apple MagSafe clear case at the weekend, but could return. What are people’s experience of Xtremeskins?

I’m sure they was £1179 when I first saw them advertised this morning

Track my order on the O2 site has been down since last night

 

[StefanWolves]

I just went for a clear spigen magsafe case. Seems a lot less flimsy than the equivalents on Amazon, and hopefully it doesn’t go yellow

 

[daindian1]

O2 are the same scalping

I had so many clear cases. They all promise no yellowing and unfortunately so far these all failed to deliver. Fingers crossed for you.

Going to pick mine up at the local store tomorrow afternoon, but I have surgery in the morning so I'm probably going to roll up to the Apple Store all high.

Loving the Majora's Mask reference. I was thinking the same when I woke up this morning!

I'm one of the many awaiting a shipment notification today. I ordered direct from Apple at 1:05pm last Friday. I'm just gonna assume it won't be sent till late this afternoon/evening.

I’ve had a few cases from Nomad and although they provide great drop protection, the last couple have been disappointing. The last one was on an iPhone 12 Pro Max which is being replaced tomorrow. When I’ve come to recycle the phones, the backs have been fine but the sides have had quite a few scratches on them reducing the value.

I’ve got one of the new Apple fine woven cases for my 15 Pro Max as a stop gap and will then have a look around to see what I’m going to settle with in the longer term.

I’d take 6 months without yellowing, to be honest. I’ll probably end up buying a Mujjo during Black Friday

D-BRAND reckon they will replace the clear case free if it ever yellows and you'll die before it does. lol - was going to go with it myself but decided against it in the end.

Great plan lol

I’ve seen that advert. To be honest it is hard to believe, that it will stay clear, so I think they will have a lot of free replacements to send out.

Which is great if you keep that case on that model phone forever…

Definitely agree. I left them recently, as I found better options with Smarty. They're a bit like Aldi - used to be the cheapest option but over time have ceased to be.

This will be my first time trying them and literally just had a dispatch email to say they are on the way!

It was listed as pre-order so was hoping wouldn't have to wait too long but seems they already have them ready to ship

 

[PilotTiny]

Anybody had any notifications from O2 saying that their pre order has arrived in store? Still not received anything myself

 

[ukp]

Anyone who has upgraded via O2, does your order status say "Processing"? I'm worried my order has failed somehow since the website kept crashing on ordering.

They get an allocation from Apple, same as every retailer in the world.

But, what they clearly do is over sell. Probably on the basis that people cancel, but every damned year they disappoint people.

I have been amazed for years that they are still in business and I was shocked that CPW merged with them.

That’s so bad and I feel for all the people that have been stitched up but tbh I never buy from curry’s as a rule due to one bad experience over a dud telly.
