Im not worried about the size/weight of the phone as i have big hands and big pockets being 6ft 4
That being said i dont like massivly bulky cases, but from the pictures the Apple leather case doesnt seem to add much bulk.

Personally given the value of the phone, I send it to these places via Special Delivery.... yes it costs me more, but I can track it, prove it was signed for and have decent insurance in case it goes missing or is damaged.
Off the top of my head Second Class Mail is only insured for something like £20
Edit
Just checked and second class is £20 and First class is £50
Special Delivery upto £500 is £7.30 and upto £1000 is £8.30
For the sake of £8.... I would rather take that hit and make sure I am covered for any loss or damage

It’s just the app Deliveries showing the status from Apple Store with his order number.

I have had an Apple leather case on my 8 Plus this past year and it doesn't really bulk it out by that much if I'm honest! The leather offers superb grip (its slippery at first but as it slowly gains the natural oils from your hands, it will naturally want to grip your fingers) and has aged beautifully - it will be a shame to start this process again with a new leather case for my XS!!!!!
I've never liked Apple silicone cases though as they are naturally, lint magnets. My one pet peeve with them is that they are just far too grippy, so much so that when the phone and case goes into a pocket, when you next pull the phone out, the case grips the inside of the pocket so this then turns the pocket inside out as you pull the phone out (and of course, the case is also covered in pocket lint!! YUCK!!!).
I’ve ordered my upgrade through o2 Friday around 8.30 but order is still in progress, keeping fingers crossed for Friday delivery.
Yayy , that’s good I was getting worried. Not too long to go
)No worries!!
)When I login to My O2 there is a section at the bottom that says Recent orders and it is in there. I have been an O2 customer for years though, not sure how that works or if that same order section appears if you're a new customer though.

...are you sure? The Max and Plus sized phones ARE the same size, albeit a mm here or there....
So i installed iOS 12 last night using work 6S Plus as the lab rat , i have since updated the X, AW3, IP Pro however Homepod is not playing ball. I 'd deal will it squarely tonite .
I have not delved into it as such , but i noticed the Shortcut app is not loaded by default...you need to load it from the App Store
Whinge ! my loot are still "Processing". Surely if they aim to deliver on Monday it should have progressed to PFD !!!

I think that colour is more Copper than "right in your face" Gold .
Also...... and this may not be an issue for anyone else..... but one of my concerns with Max was that it wouldn’t fit in my BMW 5 Series wireless charging tray. I just tried with the case and can confirm it does fit - though literally with no space to spare. Apple better not make these phones any bigger in future!!!!!!!
Yep, spoke to them a little while ago just about this. Using their label, its covered for the amount they quoted. so £650 for my X
you might be able to get an apple car on IUP next year to charge your phone

locked in last night so have to the 1st to get it to them. As long as I get my XS on a second IUP all OK on Friday, I'll send it Saturday so plenty of time. I'll close off IUP account once they confirm.
