It was only a few weeks I think. The guy at Apple told me it was incredibly popular and thinks it won’t be back since they haven’t gotten any in awhile.
Got a tip for us?

The Apple store online here in Sydney Australia is also sold out on the spicy orange. Should’ve got one when I could
And with spring coming up, they are probably going to replace it with spring colors. I’ve been wanting to grab some more, but going to wait to see what colors come out. Normally the spring colors are really nice and pastel like.
Spicy Orange was a bit too pastel for me, unlike my original Orange Sport Band. That's why I returned it.
curious what the new spring colors will be. I might need to get an olive green before they are gone
I'm thinking, based on what they currently offer....we could see more pastel based shades.
So far, with the exception of pink sand, all of the color choices are bold solids....
I'm guessing colors like pastel green, peach, etc. Very "sping'ish", lol.
I love the silicone but they show so much damage. Fingerprints, dust etc. what products do people use to clean
On the apples site, they suggest:
To clean your silicone iPhone case, remove your iPhone from the case. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to wipe the outside and the inside of the iPhone case. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean the iPhone case.
I haven't done this, but this seems like an easy way to clean silicone.
I'm sure others have different methods. I have a darker color, so fingerprints & thinks don't show as much, but for a lighter color, it's probably worst.
thank you.
Thinking of picking up a navy blue silicone for my X. Really like the look and the blue is reminiscent of my yankees. Just concerned about dust/fingerprints

The midnight blue seems like it would do well not showing fingerprints & dust.
I have the blue colbalt & it's not bad at all (although there are still some fingerprints).
I think that's just one of the quirks with silicone, but good thing is you could still clean it
I have the blue cobalt as well for my 7 and so far it’s still good as new, as well as the rose red for my X. Thinking about snagging the cosmos blue in silicone, but hoping for a lighter color for spring like the sea blue.
I was looking at the cosmos blue a while back, but ultimately decided it was too close in hues to my current cobalt......so I passed, but a sea blue could be cool!
I hope they have a different shade of green. Right now the dark olive is a little too dark for my taste, but a sea green would be nice.
I completely agree. Had the blue cobalt silicone for a few days but couldn't stand it, so I swapped it for a cosmos blue leather case. Now I have black, saddle brown, and a shade of blue. That should be enough for now haha
I’ve just started using rubbing alcohol to clean my silicone cases, and it thought it was safe enough to do. Sadly, the thin silicone layer on my Spicy Orange case has started peeling. Haven’t seen this before, but I’ve never used alcohol to clean these either (I’ve had about a dozen of them over the years).
Big time bummer because this color is out of production now...

a lot of the silicone cases on apples site are listed as sold out, but in the case of spicy orange and flash it seems thats been the case for like two months based on replies here...so if apple actually discontinued them why bother keeping them on the site? very odd for apple...
Maybe a reseller somewhere might still carry it? Apple Store stocks are completely separate.
i want the electric blue,how is handling the stains? I am afraid it will stain badly.
How do you like the black? It’s the finger prints and lint that frighten me off
