How does the silicone feel? Is it smooth? Slightly sticky? Does it feel much like the Watch Sport straps?
Well, I had the black one for the 6, and really like that brown, so now time to change.
Especially because that brown looks really, really nice.
Don't have a watch to compare it too but this one is pretty smooth but has some grip too, more than the leather case on my 6. definitely feels sturdier in the hand. The silicone used is so much better than another other non apple case i've had in the past.
I'm still in two minds of how this case will look with the black face of the space grey but putting that combo together on the apple site didn't look too bad!.. I'll know for sure in a week!
What do you guys reckon a mint condition 64GB Space Gray iPhone 6 is worth to a friend? Is £400 fair? Bit more/less?
It has a very nice rubber feeling indeed the ooooohhh type
I take it you didnt lock in a trade in price as back up then. I did and was vaguely considering a sale on eBay to see if I could get more (after fees) but even before the stories we've had today I decided not to bother. The 7 day extension by Envirofone was really sweet!
So my stone coloured silicone 6s plus has just come. Apple know how to make some nice feeling rubber
Jeez holding the case makes the reality of how big the + is really sink in!
The last picture against some white paper to see the colour difference for the stone case
That is lovely - I may be tempted by that for my Space Grey 6s next week!
one thing to come out of this is how the Mac Rumors forum members are very protective of one of their own
I know and it's great!
You should have done what I did! Pre-ordered (in a blind panic at 8.05am) and then immediately placed a reservation for 8am on launch day. However I forgot to cancel the pre-order before it went into 'preparing for dispatch' so have got that coming as well. I really want to go to the store to get as never been on a launch day and am kinda sad and excited!
No I stupidly didn't. Didn't think that was possible
too late now oh well. Just praying on eBay now

That makes me feel better got a family member paying £400 for my iPhone 6+ 64gb Gold. It has quite a few scratches and chips.

my 6 is mint and has warranty until April next year but yours is the + so probably about right
Guys and light on my problem last night? I've tried everything, removing then adding the contact again, turning off iCloud contacts, turning off dial assist
Not to add to add insult to injury but I got £550 for my iPhone 6 64GB
After eBay, shipping and PayPal fees it ended up closer to £490 but the moral of the story is:
Sell up roughly a month before the pending keynote (I have used this practice every year since the iPhone 4)
This keeps you one step ahead both in terms of price and the market not being saturated with handsets
Result = upgrade for around £100-150 every year
Downside = using a backup handset (in my case an iPhone 4s) for a month

My issue is my refusal to use eBay etc. I can't stand them and would rather deal with people I can see and talk to. I normally sell on to family members or friends who aren't bothered about the latest tech anyway.
I was trying to find my old iPhone 4 today but can't seem to find it at the moment

I've never had any issues with eBay, tried gumtree a couple of times but always found it difficult to sell high ticket items on there.
I'd find it difficult to sell to friends or family members as sooner or later they'd most likely see my Facebook/Twitter posts about my upcoming purchase and I'd probably feel abit bad
Maybe its the leather ones that have the worst discoluring. Ive seen red, brown and midnight blue discolour quite bad.
Silicone can be wiped clean with a wet cloth if it needs be.
Ive always had black leather and this hides the discolouring but might go for silicone one this year, although have some spigen ones on order that are due around next week.
not sure the sim card will fit in the plectrum
Out of those I'd probably opt for the 3G/3GS (depending on the iOS version) or the 'droid could be quite handy if you root it cyanogenmod is a powerful tool

oops thats the iPhone 7 I have been trialling for Apple
So I reserved an iPhone 6S Plus 64GB in Space Grey while I was waiting to speak to EE. (Just in case I couldn't get one). I just tried to cancel the reservation. However Apple said I can't cancel. If I don't show up they it'll get reallocated the follow day.
Don't suppose anyone wants it? Pick up time in 13:00 to 13:15. I can meet outside the Watford Apple Store just before 1pm.
