Due to overwhelming (7 people!) demand - here’s a couple of pics I took of the clear iPhone 15 Pro Max MagSafe case. Firstly on its own, in packaging, and then with the 14PM MagSafe case - there’s not much difference year on year…

Sorry for the delay, its been a chaotic day at work!

After using this case for my 13 pro max I don't think I will buy it again. Not sure it was unlucky day for me but the only one time when my phone slipped out of my pocket while I was walking my dog, it fell in such a way that the phone came out of the case resulting in a cracked screen. It seems to me that a silicone case holds the phone better.

Must admit I didn’t spend loads of time holding / touching before putting the new iPhone into it on Friday, but do think it should be ok.

Based on past experience it won’t be as grippy as the silicone cases, but always thought these were so quick to damage (especially in the corners) and I want to show off the new colour in natural titanium when I get it 🤣.

Unless you use olive oil as lotion on your hands you’ll ‘probably’ be fine now ☺️

Thank you for the update. I've been a fan of clear cases since my ProductRED XR - had a blue iPhone 12 after that and now the Titanium Blue 15 Pro, all of them need to have their colours exposed :)

After reading every single comment on here I thought I’d join the gang.

Originally I wasn’t going to get a new iPhone this year as my 13PM has been amazing since launch and I could do with the money in the bank. I finished work on Friday and spent the evening reading on here how everyone‘s preorder day had gone. Thrilling! But it also gave me ideas… I went to three’s website.. out of curiosity to see what they offer and if they have any stock..turns out they have great deals and had the phone I wanted available on release day. I was long due for an upgrade so.. I didn’t need much more convincing than this 😂

I quickly did the upgrade online thinking if I’m not fast enough I won’t be getting it on launch day. Selected the plan, even wanted to pay for delivery on Saturday as it was going to be delivered between 23rd and 25th (which I could still deal with, considering I normally buy through Apple as soon as preorders go live), signed all paperwork, went through credit checks and it glitched out! My order was there waiting for that green complete button to be clicked, I was so close, but now it wanted me to pay the full cost of the device plus the monthly installments.

8 o’clock at night I’m waiting for available member of their chat support team… it was a good 40 minutes wait. By 9:45 I had my order cancelled and resubmitted through chat support, and was told delivery on 22/09/23 via DPD for a 15PM. I ended up getting a better deal on the airtime plan and a free delivery on release day! And was I nervous throughout as I know time is of essence. I then had just enough time to get a couple of bottles of wine from sainsburys 😂

Long story short - expecting a 15PM in black ti to be delivered 22/09 by DPD, 3UK upgrade. 🥰

I’m now stocked on charging cables, screen protectors and cases. I just wanted to say the Torras screen protectors are brilliant! Still using the one out of the pack of two on the 13.

Did anyone else order from Three this year?

I tried twice with Three. First time with 11 Pro Max in Midnight Green (still think it was the best iPhone color ever had) received my phone with nearly 9 weeks delay! Next and last time I tried was with iPhone 13 Pro Max - the phone also with promised to be delivered on launch day and phone did not come on time. Ended up cancelling from them 2 weeks after the date my phone was supposed to be delievered (with lots of issues as they were trying to prove they have rights to keep my early upgrade money and upfront costs as it’s not their fault they don’t have the color I ordered in stock (?)) and bought with barclays finance from Birmingham. I remember was checking stock every few minutes and managed to get it pretty quick.
 
So as expected. I ordered a leather case from Bellroy and it was scheduled to be delivered by EVRi :oops:

Yep, it didn’t arrive, it had a scheduled delivery time but nothing arrived. Trying to communicate with EVRi and it is just an automated chatbot.

I hope I don’t have the same issue with the phone delivery tomorrow.

Do Apple keep any stock for their stores?

I was stupid enough to not pre-order before the dates for delivery were weeks after launch date.

If I arrive to the store for it opening at 8 tomorrow do I have any chance of getting a phone from the Apple Store? Or is it a definite case of if there is none online there’ll be none in store?

Checking the website from 6am for store stock is probably your best bet

Quick question. If I am not on the Apple upgrade do I just reserve the phone online and then in store pay outright for it instead of going through the checks? Or do the checks get carried out online first?

Has anyone who has pre ordered from mobilphonesdirect had any account change? They have taken full payment (not auth) a week ago but still no update from original email. Was scheduled for the 22nd according to the site.

Still showing pending
 
Managed to sneak an order in for Pro Max 256/Natural with Argos at around 3PM yesterday, not expecting much but order status updated prepping for delivery on Friday. No tracking number yet but looking hopeful!

I used Armorite for years as the Ceramic Shield is more prone to scratches- the trade off for being more shatter proof - but I would not use camera lens protectors.
This year I went for the Benks screen protector to go along with my Armor Air case.

Have you received the benks screen protector? I’ve been considering ordering one because it’s one of the only ones I’ve found with rounded edges. Wondering how they look in person.
 
Argos text just came through for 7am-9pm delivery (ordered Monday evening). Strangely they have split my order (2x pro max blue/natural) into separate orders. Will be delivered via Yodel!! :( annoyingly just realised I had my parents address saved in Argos account and will be sent there - luckily still nearby !
