Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

You might check out the a Peel cases as well. They have 2 clear cases, one soft and one about the thickness of wax paper. I have the soft one, which is almost perfect except the buttons are stiff. My OCD is driving me crazy with the clear cases and getting tiny little particles between the phone and the case that I can see of course.

I settled on the hard clear case since it looked thinner than the soft clear case. I got a 15% off code for signing up for their emails. It look thinner than the Spigen Liquid Crystal case which slippery and hurt my hand when texting because of how thick the case is. I even sent my Apple silicon case back because it’s too slippery for me. The size was perfect besides how slippery it felt. I guess I really just wanted a clear case to show off the pacific blue.

How do you like their skins? That 60% off is enticing and the fact that if you mess up during install, they’ll send you another one within 30 days.

Oooh this is enticing but I know nothing of these kind of wraps so it makes me nervous.

This thread last week was like 20-30 pages / day time , and 10 page overnight time !

As of now , 1 page / day

Almost everybody received their devices so it’s definitely going to slow down until the day there are no more posts.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

After UPS failed to deliver my order on Friday, they finally delivered it today.

Glad you finally received your phone.

I’ve used them in the past and am pretty satisfied with their skins; however, they are slow on shipping. Even with the slow shipping, you can’t beat their sales which they have several times th the year, so I tend to stock up on different skins when I want a new look.

I had a generic product red looking wrap on my X that I absolutely loved. I used a hairdryer for installing the sides of the wrap. It worked out and everyone thought I paid a lot of money to have to customized with that color.

You could always wear the Nike Watch on your other wrist while running. I think I saw a third-party strap you could use to wear the Watch in your upper arm.

Garmin is definitely the superior running watch - if you have the versions with all of the stats per mile, heart rate, etc. It just doesn’t have cellular. I would stick with Garmin if I was still running and monitoring my progress the way I used to - a bad car accident messed that up for me.

The M1 Air is available to pickup here. I swear I’m this close to just pulling the trigger. I haven’t spent all year on anything except Apple stuff... and then all the additional items for the Apple stuff. Crazy how that works 😜

Man I'm so sorry to hear that you had a car accident that affected you so badly. That breaks my heart. Yeah if I go back to the Nike watch it would be for daily use and the Garmin strictly for running. Although the Garmin is superior to the Nike Apple watch (stats wise) it's a large leap backwards as far as graphics and communication but yes... I'm still deciding.

It's here you guys. The M1 MBP. I haven't even opened the box. LOL.

I really like their hard cases as they are just at the edge of the lip on the phone, and not over it. Take a look at the hard case on my 11 PM.

I’m going to try the Peel case first and then wait for Slickwraps to have another sale and I’ll take advantage of it then.

I do like that hard case. It don’t look bulky at all.

If I ever decide to put a case on this gorgeous phone, I will get another Peel. Their e2e screen protectors are awesome too—shown in the 11 PM, and I use them on all of my phones.

Have I ever said how awesome you are? I swear, you're like the coolest, friendliest person here, and we're all grateful to have you here. Now, can I come over and borrow your new MBP? I just wanna install Xcode on it and play with it for a week. The MacBook Air people want me dead for mentioning Xcode, so I promise to get it back to you before the bludgeon me with their own MacBooks. 🤣 (it's kinda true ... looks at the "Open all apps" thread from the main page)

I am using California poppy leather case from Apple along with saddle brown wallet without any issues. I can easily put in my DL, insurance card and 2 credit cards. I don't carry cash with me, so the wallet fits great for my use case. Whenever I have to go out, I pop the wallet to the sweet spot in the case and when home, I just pop out the wallet. Not seen a single instance of wallet sliding out of the case.

Love it so much that I have ordered another wallet for my wife's 12 pro silicon case, but it ships 3-4 weeks out and not available in local Apple store or Amazon or Best Buy. Verizon has it for 45 bucks, but it makes me sign an wireless agreement which spooked me and I thought its best to wait from Apple to come.

 

[Renho]

When you get it, can you post pics please? I may just have to go that route since I can’t find a clear thin skin.

Sure, should have been here by now. But I am kinda of a fan of these from dbrand..

Well it sure looks like a UPS worker at the Oakland Hub stole my Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max. Was supposed to ship last Friday but delayed to Monday and still nothing today. Apple's shipping team is helping me out but we all know how it will end. Sorry, had to vent.

Aw dude, you're the best! Thank you. I feel the same about you. You're lots of fun and your personality shines through on this forum. P.S. the people in this thread rock so much. Other threads 'round these parts feel a little dry...

But hey! Come on over... you could probably teach me A TON. I can't even find iTunes on this beauty. I remember skimming over something about iTunes but can't remember exactly what. Is the Music App where everything is at now? Did they ditch iTunes? Please remember I've been rocking a 2013 MBP with a burned retina screen for so long I'm way out of the loop! I'm also insanely old school and always backed up my phones to iTunes in place of the cloud.

FYI I'm posting from it. My husband says I have to keep it now... I think I may. Seriously I loved my 2013 MBP, retina burn an all... but this... wow. The keyboard is le nice. I also like the Touch Bar (Touch Bar haters! 😏)

I only backup to iTunes (Music now) as well. Encrypted backups only. I find iCloud backups to have unreliable restores.

Yeah it’s GORGEOUS and night and day to my beat up but still going strong 2013 MBP lol

I ordered the peel clear case and I hated the buttons part of the case! It definitely is stiff! I was going to return it but as a courtesy they let me keep it and refunded me. I have the saddle brown leather case and I LOVE IT!

Congrats!! My MBP order is still in the initial processing stage. Evidently there’s a big demand. I ordered it on the 10th and the shipping estimate is 12/10. Worth the wait.

I bet you a silver dollar you'll get it before then. Apple is making great progress on delivering early. Hope you get yours sooner than later! So far I'm pretty happy with the 30 minutes I've used this laptop so far. I wish I had ordered the right shell case for it though. Heh.

Now that was lucky for you, but sad if you want anything else.

I’ve stopped by the Apple store a couple of times now to pick up a case and then a second HomePod Mini today. People are so upset that you need an appointment for everything now. Our stores are only doing Express Pickup, so you stand in line and walk up to the window at you appointment time. Can’t even come early to pick up.

People have tried to “quickly pick up a charger” or ask a question, but security is not having it. Everything is by appointment only. One poor woman had an broken screen and she has to go back home, make the Genius Bar appointment and come back.

We’re not far from shutting down again with to the way things are looking her as well.

the week before 12pm launch week, we went to apple store in Northbrook hoping to check out the 12pro and we were so pissed we could not get in unless we have an appointment.

we made an appointment at a different store (old orchard mall).. at that time the store was still open. Few days after, (before 12pm launch day) I went back to that store to find they boarded up and only doing the “express pick up”. I actually took a pic of the store and was going to share it here but I totally forgot until I have read this.

I will say we will be on lockdown again before thanksgiving. Back to phase 3 Friday.

Yes it slows down as most of us have our phones and are playing with them perhaps commenting on them but most are gone and soon most will be of opening day. But now folks in second wave and later orders may post yet
