Other UK iPhone (2018) XS/XS Max/XR Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[Azzin]

Guys and Girls, I've finally picked up an XS today and restored from my Icloud Backup and its asking me to enter the Password for my Apple ID blah Blah Blah, only thing is mine has been picked up by icloud and the one it is constantly asking me for is not an Apple ID I have ever had, anyone else had this at all ?

Sounds like an app you purchased under a different Apple ID.

I’ve got one, I think it was pre iCloud merge? Or maybe earlier.

Just got myself a new case and screen protector.

Screen protector is great, case is too, although a little slippy...
[doublepost=1538835205][/doublepost]Actually, screen protector is fab.

Just took a closer look and it’s undetectable, now that it’s been on 24 hours.

I'm thinking of this case;

How much??

How much??

Well, yeah, £44 but I have a £15 discount from Amazon as they messed up on an order I was supposed to get today. Didn't turn up...

Personally, I think even £30 is still a lot.

I’m not sure how well it would charge wirelessly, having a magnet in the middle of the case.

I have a magnet, but have to place it right at the top of the case (next to the camera) to ensure charging.

I had one on my X and there's no problems charging wirelessly.

Not as expensive as the official Apple ones I suppose. I have a clear spigen one and an Apple silicone case in pink sand. So a cheaper one and a more expensive one.

 

[Lyn2012]

I’ve done the same, a cheapish transparent TPU case and a Story Leather grip case, the latter still on order.

 

[AVBeatMan]

Anyone know of a clear case that doesn't feel sticky in the hand?

Wash your hands!

But generally it’s sticky or slippery. I’d rather take sticky. The leather one I bought felt a little slippery when I got it, but feels nice in the hand now. Just right.

I just think it’s a lot of money for what it does.

After the Spigon case I had on my 7+ died I rocked a free case from a conference for the next year!
This time I’ve bought my first leather case and have to say I’m impressed. As long as it lasts, I’ll certainly be buying another with my next iPhone.

for anyone who has had the belkin screen protector in apple stores can you still take it off when you sell it one year later ? does it affect the value of the phone at places like music magpie etc

They will take off the screen protector to check the screen anyway.

Those of you who sold their X just before the XS came out to music magpie and other similar places, how much did you get for it? just trying to get a rough figure

Got £520 from Mazumamobile for my 64gb, could have got £550 from musicMagpie but I’ve always used Mazumamobile so I trust them a bit more. Thought at the time the extra £30 wasn’t worth the slight worry.
