They don't mention an iPhone 5 version though. They only offer them for the 3G/3GS/4/4S. Considering the iPhone 5 is taller and thinner I doubt they would work well.
Got a tip for us?

I just looked in my ip4 case and the seam is protected by 2 raised edges each side of it that cover the seam

We might be talking about the same thing. The material is folded in so there's two raw edges of leather that rub the iPhone band?
Questions about Orange
Hi all - I've been lurking here for a long time but am now compelled to contribute!
I ordered a White 64gb handset on Friday 14th 8.55am (got email about problems with payment verification, rang them and got through at 11:30am and sorted everything out and confirmed that my order was in the queue). I am an existing Orange customer and ordered the phone as an additional handset (not upgrade, as had a terrible experience with iPhone 4 as upgrade before).
I have never had any kind of reference number (the original WS reference still says "please contact us" when entered on the Orange shop order tracking). I haven't had a reference number or text message from the courier. As I didn't buy as an upgrade I have nothing to check online under my existing account.
I've rung Orange on Thursday and Friday and had very little help. I was assured that because I ordered so early I should get a phone in the first few days.
It's now Sunday and no one rang me to offer me a faster delivery option. I'm convinced that several other Orange customers who ordered at the same time and afterwards have had their phone.
It now seems that the White 64gb option was clearly more available than others, so I'm even more baffled about what has held up my phone.
I have told the orange assistants that it isn't crazy of a customer to expect them to have knowledge of how many phones they received from Apple and how many pre-orders they took. Give me Business Objects and their data warehouse and I'll bloody do it for them!!!
It's been a great help to follow other Orange customers' experiences on this forum. It's helped me to manage my naive expectation that pre-ordering an in-demand product should ensure that it is delivered on or close to the launch date.
So - I was phoned by Orange on Thursday and offered (for an additional £30 over my £220 upgrade fee) a 64gb white rather than 32gb black ordered......with GUARANTEED Sat delivery.........can you guess what happened yesterday ?............that's right b@gger all !
For the sake of the other 4,999 Orange customers offered this - they went out Royal Mail special delivery.....if they didn't arrive Sat they'll arrive Monday.

No, Apple only sell unlocked phones in the UK, if you want a contract then you will have to go via the carrier or middle men (Carphone warehouse/Phones4u).
At the time they told me they would be getting more in a couple of days. I was enquiring for my sister, my own IP 5 is amazing. I cut down my Virgin sim (badly but it still works) and last night got over 19 mb/s which is far faster than my broadband connection.

I have the Ikonic Edge for the iPhone 4s, the seams are on the inside, they did rub off the metal band but nothing serious. They are currently awaiting the arrival of the iPhone 5 in New Zealand and hope to go into production for a new case to fit the phone in October.
The cases are very well made, and the leather used is exceptional and just gets better as it is worn.

not sure to be honest, all over essex and most of london I can get 11mps down and 4-6 up.
I had decided to order one of these cases as they do look lovely, but if they are likely to rub the metal band, I'll have to choose another make. After all, a case is supposed to protect not damage the phone.
I was there too - was told to leave the queue as I didnt have a ticket. I spoke to one of the store members and the reply was basically "we've not got many and dont know if or when we'll get more, and that I should just keep trying". Phoned at 12:30 and they had them in stock for contracts.
The thing is tho, take a good look at the three contracts. It works out a good deal. If you buy the iPhone without a contract, then put it on a box standard contract for say, £12.50 a month, over 2 years you only save £60. I'd rather go with the fixed contract at £60 more, and get a iPhone now, than wait 2 weeks
They arent locked this time around. My new one is on three, but my cut-down T-mobile sim works on it fine (all be it much slower - probably because its a manually cut sim).
Did you get yours on three from an apple store? If you did do they offer the same contracts as direct from three?
The money for mine came out less than 30 seconds after I purchased. I used a Debit Card on the Apple Store UK
Credit cards are usually debited when they dispatch.
Typically you can't reserve popular in demand products like newly released iPhones and iPads. They are sold on a first come first serve basis.
You also cannot reserve them on the Apple site for in store pick up either. I think this is possible in the US by paying in full online and then picking up at a local Apple store but not here in the UK.

They don't.

I suspect they didn't actually debit it but just reserved it for debit later at dispatch. Very few online retailers take money at time of order and Apple isn't one of them.
Orange have missed something from my upgrade IN MY FAVOUR!
I was recently in hospital for six months and managed to get a free 1GB add-on as well as the usual 750MB.
I now get 3GB Data and Tethering for the price of 2GB
