UK iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Thread

Compared to most apple cases that's a regular price

Yes, you could possibly get it cheaper elsewhere. But with it being for the 6 as opposed to the 6s, I thought I would get it from Apple, and if it did not fit I know they would take it back.

I've got the Ringke & the Spigen.

As a case, I think I prefer the Spigen, but I don't really like the exposed top and bottom, so I tend to use the Ringke as my daily driver (which in fairness I've not had any issues with).

I'd be interested to know where you got the dust caps from though. 😉

I got them from Ebay

You get 10 x 3.5mm and 10 x Lightning Port Covers , they are semi clear in colour and compliment with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid v2 clear case.

The trouble with Amazon is they are trying to get as many people as possible to join Amazon Prime. That is why they charge postage on orders under £20.

Same here. And they charge over inflated postage costs. As above, in an attempt to get you to join prime.

I ordered micro sd card and they wanted £5 postage for an item that cost no more than a stamp and a small envelope to post.

So where's before Amazon was my first port of call I now tend to only shop there if the item I want isn't available elsewhere.

I bought a colander to top it up to £20 just because so many of the cases count as 'top up' items. I actually found a website where you can enter how much you need to add to make £20 and it'll suggest cheap tat to make up the difference 🙂

Seriously, if you buy any amount of stuff online that you could get from Amazon (and don't have some other ethical objection to buying from them), just get Prime. It's super-convenient and pays for itself several times over for me every year. The free instant video isn't bad either, the selection could be bigger but I see it as just an extra on top of the basic Prime delivery savings. Also, other people at your address can use the membership along with you so there's the potential to save even more on deliveries, plus there's the Kindle library, Prime Music etc. as well if they're any use to you.

fair enough if you use all that. I see myself as buying no more than 10 moderately priced items off Amazon per year. I definitely dont buy every month in order to make this worthwhile.

Its good to know you can share with others at your address though.

But for those of us who don't shop online that often it's a waste of cash. It may be more appealing to me personally if they had a monthly fee but they don't.

This year I've ordered 4 things from Amazon. Had I gone prime at £80 that's £20 per delivery. I've made a few other ordered but they've been from sellers and had free delivery.

I don't have a kindle and don't use my phone to read. So that's of no use. And I use iTunes for music so that's not a draw for me either.

And as I live alone I don't have anyone to share the cost with.

I may be interested in their TV when the new Clarkson show launches as I was a massive fan of Top Gear. But not at £80.

You don't have to be a prime member to watch Amazon instant video. I pay £5.99 for the streaming service only.

Was that from Amazon itself or a market place seller ?

Ah right. I would have said if it was a market place seller I wouldn't have been surprised but for Amazon itself to charge that much doesn't make sense considering how big they are and how many items they must ship every day.

Just checked and they're now charging £4 p&p for a micro SD card. That's not even next day for next day they want £8.
 
Decided to get the Apple Lightning Dock today after contemplating for weeks. The quality is great but at £39, I wish it was more than just a block of metal that charges your phone.

It's way more than that. It also has a handy headphone socket so you can listen to music while it is docked.

Of course, Apple could have put the headphone socket at the top so it wasn't necessary..
