Honestly you guys are the only ones having a fit about it. I sat here and said that it’s a rough situation and it will get sorted out. The level of impatience is unreal and if this makes you leave like that then you were looking for a reason to leave. It hasn’t even been 24hrs and the reaction is uncalled for.

Instead of having a go in here maybe you should tell your Discord members to stop throwing accusations.

I dont know the reason behind this activity (not my business)but accusing people of this forum is not the right thing to do like you said uncalled for.

Respect works both ways and one shouldn’t take that for granted including me.

From my perspective, I believe it was the initial lack of clear communication that led to the misunderstanding and heightened emotions. I mean, what does blocking a bunch of MacRumors members have to do with snooping manufacturers? Sorry, but that explanation doesn’t pass the smell test. Also, some Discord members calling out MacRumors folks as somehow (?) being part of the problem doesn’t help. But whatever - at this point I’ve lost all interest and won’t be discussing or participating any further.

nobody is blocked so we can stop mentioning that. It was a 24hr grace period. So nobody from the MR squad got blocked. I’ve been in here for years and I’m not going to just turn my back on the people here who have contributed.

What colour you getting?
Still over $100, and I gave up years ago buying cases from Europe/US.
Too much hassle if faulty etc
They need a agent here.

As said on previous post: BLACK.

While I can see the difficulty in returns, you could always just re-pack it and Ebay it, lol! Sure an Aussie would buy it regardless of most defects.

As for price, Apple sold their own leather ones for £60 a couple of years ago, so delivered to Oz for £59 is very good IMO, and they're quality leather.

re. Nomad leather options...

Looks like Nomad's been removed from post #1 on this thread, presumably as news has gone quiet from them. Although I did notice many options seem to be out-of-stock, on their US website at least, so maybe we might see one from them after all. But who knows. 🤷‍♂️

Even giving up the pitaka’s ?

Yeah, I think so. The Pitakas and their equivalents are very, very nice, don’t get me wrong, but I now prefer to see and feel more of the bare phone. They also provide only the most minimal drop protection, which is fine, but another thing to consider when making comparisons.

The Süti is a beautiful product, but at 38 grams (16PM) it’s too heavy for what it is, and it provides even less drop protection than the Pitakas. I will slap it on now and then for a change, but it most likely won’t be on my phone very much.

That leaves the Arc Pulse. It’s not my favorite aesthetically, but having full access to the phone is so nice, the bumps at the corner make it more grippy than a bare phone (if that makes sense), it provides 10 feet (at least) of drop protection on flat surfaces, and it only weighs 18 grams, which is pretty amazing. No other case (if you can call it that) comes anywhere close to matching that ratio of drop protection to weight. If nothing else, I’m kind of blown away by the engineering that went into it. I would love to have the tungsten carbide coated titanium model, but $300 for a phone bumper is a bit nuts. Maybe for the IP17.

Yeah, I decided to remove Nomad and Phone Rebel for now due to no news for months.

Ignore the fuzz, switching to the Ghost 2.0 for a bit. The gen 6 is hard to beat though, I really like the elevated front corners, MagSafe strength and overall feel on the PR.

Will post some thoughts on the ghost after a week or so.

That MagSafe ring on the Ghost brings to mind a question mark, like “How is it now people, do you like it?” 😉

Thanks. I just ordered one in Blue. It cost me 97 pence in total and due for delivery on Jan 9th. For that price you can’t really go wrong. If I’m not happy with it then it’s just a loss of 97 pence. 😃👍
