UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

[joolze]

Can i ask, how does the 5.5" iPhone case feel? is it ok to fit in pockets and do you think its portable enough for someone who regularly commutes? (like myself).

Im asking because i'm still making my mind up of which one to get. Going to Apple store on Saturday to see if they have both models on display.

I ordered it for myself as I can carry it in my handbag (being a girly!) and the iPhone 6 is for my husband. Having said that, he's just tried the 6 plus case in his jeans and was surprised how well it fit (normal, not skinny jeans). He's now reconsidering his iPhone 6 decision.

Personally, I love the size though and Friday cannot come soon enough #

Yeah, I got mine ~7pm
Was worrying getting it 2-3 hours after some people.

We will be worried again tomorrow for sure LOL

I have also used the brodit clips and holders and have done for a number of years. They are by the best solution by far. I have my clip for my current car just waiting for the iPhone 6 holder to be released.

Do you know if they have any holders that can quickly be adjusted? I'd really like a Brodit, but both I (incoming iPhone 6) and my wife (5S) would want to be using it, and afaics that means busting out an allen key every time we switch places

Maybe we'll get them first this year.

I bought a Spigen case and glass screen protector and case - and the screen protector looks small compared to the case.

I also noticed all of their iPhone cases on eBay now have a subtitle saying 'pre-order dispatch on xx September/October" so I hope that doesn't mean there are errors with their existing product line. :/ I'm going to send them a message on eBay now just to double check.

My spigen glass protector just arrived too from amazon and your right, looks a little small. Not much bigger than my 5s.

That's good to here, based on that i'm really thinking i'll get the 5.5" iPhone plus

Does it also have a small cut out at the top? The picture on their website only has an open ended home button... Strange!

Crossing fingers and all other stuff that can be crossed!!!

Same here. Best clip I've ever had in my Ford Focus. Hope it's not long before they get a 6 plus holder out as I use my iPhone as my Sat Nav all the time.

Most likely UPS. Has been for all my Apple deliveries.

I messaged the place where I get my brodit stuff from regarding a holder for the iPhone 6 last week they said as soon as they get the phone in brodit will get all the dimensions and start designing one could be a few months yet.

I'll need one ASAP as I have an hour drive to work every day and need one ASAP

What is the seller username on eBay? It's probably the same business as the Amazon seller I bought mine from. Pretty much all the SGP stock in the UK is from that one business but it trades under various different names.

My plan is, upon the phone arriving on Friday I will test the screen protector and if it doesn't fit then email the seller on Amazon and either ask for refund or replacement. I only went for the cheaper non-glass version @ £6.00 for 3 as I feared they may not fit and cause problems.

I think so. I made a cardboard template last week with the 1:1 scale phone templates that someone posted. I can fit it fine in most of my pockets. The exception is a pair of jeans that I've gotten too fat to fit in properly, and it has small pockets anyway.

I am expecting to make some compromises for a phablet, but not too much. I used to have a Nokia E90. Mind, now that I look at that, the iPhone 6+ is rather a lot larger.

Shame. I guess I'll wait then. Might keep the iPhone 5 for a few weeks as a sat nav.

Yes my SGP Crystal ones have these. Not keen on the open ended home button, chances are that will come away from the display I bet.

IMO the best phone mount I've ever used is this Montar universal phone mount. It's so solid and will fit a 6+. Read the reviews - it really is that good.

Looks like i'm going to get me a 5.5" iPhone Plus

Oh the thrill, then the letdown...
Got an email earlier on iPhone and only took note of the sender (Apple) and subject (Dispatch Notification).

Excitedly open it... To find it was regarding an order I put in today for a couple of accessories (though they weren't due for dispatch until 19th themselves).

Back to earth with a crash!!

Yup. Hole at the top.

Also strange how they say it's a pre-order but amazon had stock.

It's genuine according to their serial number verification thing.

We shall see Friday.

Great pic, thanks. Looks like the 4.7" size is perfect for my needs

Tims Global trading as Spigen SGP.
If it doesn't fit, then I'll contact the seller and if they don't send out a replacement/issue a refund then I'll just submit a case to eBay/PayPal as I assume one would be covered if the item was not fit for purpose.

This is a cheapo one I use for quite a long time. Not from the best material, but does the job just fine.

Yay, my iPhone 6 Plus, 64GB, White/Silver is showing up in my support profile, I even have my serial number Support Profile

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but I've left Vodafone for a deal with EE through CPW. I have my PAC code, and in theory I'll wait for the new phone & sim to arrive, then call EE and tell them the code. Then there's several hours/days to wait, right? So I'll be continuing to use my iPhone 5 until some notification pops up on the 6 to let me know the number has been changed over?

PACs can now be actioned in as little as 1 working day, although some networks will even give you a choice of what day you want the number to port.
