ESR screen protectors with black borders defeats the purpose of having iPhone 15 Pro with thin bezels.

Spigen EZFit ordered plus they were brilliant on my 14 Pro.

Same, was entirely happy with ESR Armorite for the past two years, but seeing that this years offering also has bezels on the protector, I thought I'd give the Spigen a try.

How so? It’s not like they’re thicker than the iPhone bezels. Plus black borders help with light refraction and Spigen also has the Alignmaster with black borders.

Because the screen protectors are not edge to edge so they do not align exactly on top of the iPhone bezels. They will add some thickness to them bezels.

Same with Spigen Alignmaster.

Make sure you pack your UR or any other trade in device with extra care. Below is how RM are delivering them.

I can see mine in the basket with green tape.

EZ fit is a better application for sure but the black bezels haven’t encroached into the screen if applied correctly in previous years. Granted this year could be tougher with them being thinner but look to be just as edge to edge as others.

Can someone please explain how Music Magpie Kiosk works for a Dummy please.

If I sign up now will I still get 2 weeks to drop it off at that price?
Do I Just hand over the handset without a box/accessories
Do they pay up when I hand it over or does it get sent off and re-checked by an actual person before they pay out, so if for whatever reason it got damaged going from A-B could they would knock money off?
If the kiosk under values it do you have the option to take it back?

Thank you. I’ve never used MM before, used rebuy last year and gutted I can’t this year. I sold to CEX before, they pay way less but I can’t stand the thought of posting my phone and it getting lost or damaged.

the kiosk is just a machine - you put your iphone in (just phone - no packaging)
the machine foes some tests - and I think some guy in india inspects it remotely

took us couple of tries until it was successful - it spits the phone out if it cannot contact anybody

took about 15 minutes for each try

money is payed inyo your account if phone is accepted by machine

Is any one kind of payment more likely to go through quickly on Friday?

Is Apple pay going to be quicker than paying by card / vouchers / pre approved Barclays finance or is any one of those less or more problematic / prone to lag or delay?

Barclays denied my finance application tried last night and thi morning and both denied, been on the upgrade program since the 11 Pro and always been approved, going to pay outright and try and reserve one on the upgrade program as well

Thankfully had the savings to buy outright so not the end of the world

It seems to have happened to a few people this time that haven't had any issues being approved in the past. Weird.

For those who have been declined in spite of having excellent credit history, rest assured it's Barclays and not you.

Credit can be like car insurance - your environment (outside of your control) can have an effect on you being accepted/declined, despite nothing having changed with your own situation.

For example, if a large employer in a particular area goes bust, it can have an impact on a location that increases the risk profile of its residents. Barclays may have been burnt a few too many times in your area.

Quick question for you all…

If you run through the pre-pre order and choose finance, can you change your order without going through it again?

I just cannot decide on colour… Natural, blue or black I love them all!
