I'm a big fan of Anker products, great quality without being stupid on their prices. Their battery packs are great, bought this one seveal months ago

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00QV7ZB...lid=1JU7NHVC9CKJ7&coliid=I37U1TDAHVL3NM&psc=1

I use it every day.

+1 for Anker. I have one of their battery packs, 3 of their multi-port IQ USB chargers, 3 or their dual-port car chargers, 2 of their iPad stands, 2 of their cube bluetooth speakers, 5 of their lightning cables, and i use their screen protectors.

Safe to say I'm v happy with their stuff :)

Just ordered my new 6s and am looking for a case, but I'm a bit brassed off, as loads of people seemed to have got Spigen Armor cases for £2.99, Airskin cases for 99p etc. Have all these deals gone now? Everything seems virtually full price everywhere now. E.g. Armor Case £18.99, Airskin case £9.99. Is there any way to get the cheaper deals any more?

I got into a bit of an "argument" with spigen, as although I received a 48hr sale email late on saturday I couldn't actually purchase any of the items from the linked-to amazon pages for the sale prices (the thin 6+ case was on sale for £3.99 but on amazon it was £5.99). Eventually I purchased the thin case (i have used one on my 6+) for £5.99 and got a £2 refund when i mentioned to them it all seemed "a little underhand".

Looks like you're just as addicted to Anker products as I am. Lost count how many I have. Even have a couple of their iPhone 6 cases, with the magnets in the back.

This is the one I bought... for my 6S+

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B010MVRKTA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

It started out at 99p... i missed that and paid £3.99 for it.... it's now gone up to £7.90

Yeah. They've charged my card so I guess it's just taking time to work through the volume of orders. There's still a week to go so I don't think there's any need to panic!

Me to. I am getting a 6s+, silver, also ordered Apple care, but that should not make a difference. Still 25/9 delivery date.
 
Anyone else who upgraded directly with O2 on the 12th still getting "This information is not available at the moment. Please try again later." when they try to look at their order in the web portal?

Don't forget, you are after a case for a £600+ device.
But yes, annoying it is.

Agreed, but I have 2 of their original Air Cushion cases I purchased on 6+ pre-order last year. Very good cases. I also use the thin clear case on my 6+ now and if you just want scratch protection you cannot beat it, full stop.
 
I've been offered £367 from Envirophone for my 64Gb 6 plus. How do you find out what Apple will offer? It would be much easier to part-ex it in store on Friday.

I just sold my normal 6 64GB for £450 on Gumtree, on the first day of advertising, probably worth a try before using them.

I dare say they sold out damn fast; I ordered my Neo Hybrid from Spigen direct for £8.99, then saw the flash sale on Amazon and ordered eight more cases at 99p each, I figured there was no harm in seeing which one I liked most. They were selling out damn fast even as I was ordering.

Yes me too, I called them and they said that was normal and checked my order and all was ok. They said it would be updated when it was being readied for shipping or something like that.

Might be worth a call to 202 if you're worried but I wouldn't think you need to be

Regarding the UPS MyChoice....do they just monitor for items being sent to this address and notify you of this?


Pretty much; you give them your name and then a list of potential alternate first names and it'll register when any packages go to the listed address with any of those name combinations. So I've got my name and the wife's name listed.
 
Just recieved my interim Spigen from Spigen (via Amazon). It' a Thin Fit black and states for iphone 6s Plus (and 6 Plus). It's basic and will do until I get the one I really want when its available from the 30th.

Many thanks for your reply. I'll have a good search of the net to see what's available.

That's interesting, which case is it you really want? I'm looking for one myself.
 
Anyone have a UPS MyChoice account?

Yes - I have from when I got my gold retina macbook earlier this year. Was exciting to track - was even sad enough to take screen shots of its progress!

Got my envirophone email last night but no extension option. If I don't get an extension I may as well just sell to apple when I pickup my 6s as they will offer me the same price.

In other news. Third party keyboards like SwiftKey seem to be much more stable in ios 9

Has 7 days elapsed? I got 2 emails one reminding me to send in and another a few hours later still reminding me and offering a 7 day extension. Dont give up hope. It's possible the price in the apple shop might be less next week.

I just got another reminder to send or extend which confused me. I clicked to extend but when got onto their website it stated that it had already been extended - phew!

Though!!!! I still feel I need to invest in a decent power bank!

They really make you pay through the nose for a good capacity though, I swear by this one by EC Technology, I've had mine for a year and it needs charging like once a month. I recommended it to two friends who went to Glastonbury and both of them charged their phones for the entire weekend from it and still had spare. Given how quickly the battery drains on my 5, being able to charge it fully nearly ten times is nice :)

I have had a few including a a MightyPurse - not recommended. Had to change 3 times and never really held a charge plus loads of problems when OS is updated. Best I have at the moment is the power bar I got free from EE. Ideal for a when am out most of day adn evening and taking lots of pics etc.

However I've just ordered one of these the JerryCooke posted - looks great. We are going on safari next year and there will be at least one night that we are at a camp that probably doesn't have power. The rest of the time we are 'glamping'!!

Ordered the blue since the cheapest but would have quite liked

Will get this little storage bag too - handy to keep the cable and battery together when travelling.

Is it true we can book a 4 hour window using MyChoice? Hoping I can do this on the 25th
