Yes, I have it with my current X, however I switched to apple normal leather case after 2 months (got the case and the phone at launch day), I wasn't a big fan of it, however product wise, it is a great product and if you like that kind of case, it is worth the buy.
Yeah, I got it for my X as well but ended up using it as a wallet without the phone! It is great when you're out for a night but I too mainly use the Apple "normal" case.

What cases are people going for? I've had Tech 21 cases the last few years but they look horrendous. I am very, very tempted by either the green or brown Apple leather cases because I think it'll look fab with the gold and I'm sick of ugly bulky cases, but the gap on the bottom worries me enormously.

I'm going to have my XS Max insured anyway but if I've ever dropped my 8+ on our wooden flooring at home it's been protected perfectly with the Tech 21 case, but I highly doubt I'd have the same outcome with the Apple case. Also, scratches.

Just ordered the Saddle Brown leather case, because what's another £55 :D

I’m sure they’ll come sooner. Also worth checking store stock from 22nd as you’ll likely snag one that way in the coming weeks

Thought you’d have got more. I got £370 for my iPhone 7plus. I’ve gone for the max 256gb in space grey on a 100gb data plan for £76pm and £30 upfront. I tagged on the watch too for an extra £25 pm

Currently with Three (Sim Only) paying £19p/m for Unlimited Voice/Text/Data and 30gb Tethering.

Signal is pretty good around my area too.

Guessing I’m not going to get anything better at that price?

Yesterday I pre-ordered iPhone XS 256GB Gold from Carphone Warehouse. I took 24 months contract with Vodafone. It was my first credit check in the UK and my first mobile plan for my name (I only have broadband from BT). They accepted it after 28 minutes :). Still can't believe that next Friday I will have a new phone!

Got it too, thanks! I didn't suspect that wireless charger is so cheap!

Has anyone managed to get a deal on the XS or XS Max on EE anytime upgrade? I've ordered the 64gb iPhone XS on anytime upgrade at £88 a month £0 upfront but I am having nagging concerns about the 64gb storage. Ideally I would like a 256gb XS or XS Max in space grey. I can pay money upfront but I don't even know if they will let me change my order.

Any replies would be appreciated.

I signed up to the anytime plan yesterday around 11am

XS max 256GB space grey
100GB, unlimited mins and texts

But had to pay £46 upfront.

I’m sure you can cancel just will be a delay I’m sure.

Thanks for that.

Can’t complain for the price and my portable battery pack is Ravpower and that’s been rock solid for me.

Nice find

Can’t see why not
I getting mine delivered and be returning it to swap from full payment to IPP
[doublepost=1537033578][/doublepost]
Yes it’s on sim plans to I asked yesterday on Twitter coz I have a cellular S3 but currently on BT

Message I got

Right, I've got you know. You'd just need to purchase the SIM, and when you've got this in your phone, unpair the Apple Watch from the phone it is linked to at present, and then pair it to the phone with the EE SIM in it. As you are setting it up, there will be an option to add a data plan, which will be free for 3 months with unlimited data, then £5 per month with 10GB of data each month. -Michael

You can’t refund and keep the same phone. The system doesn’t allow this.

You would have to keep your phone and try and reserve another in store. And they try the IPP program on that reserved phone and then refund the one you have.
