QUOTE(andrewtho @ Nov 15 2020, 07:27 PM) Nomad for sure. Horween leather is considered one of the best leather grades, been buying Nomad cases for all my iPhones and over time the color became darker and rugged. This time might skip because of Magsafe 🤪 QUOTE(cyapd @ Nov 15 2020, 07:41 PM) Alrighty then. Nomad it is... hopefully can get a good deal on 12.12. Thanks guys! |

QUOTE(kider @ Nov 15 2020, 07:56 PM) Used nomad on my iphone X and would rate that case the best ive had. Right now using blue apple leather case to match with my pacific blue. Time will tell which one ages better. But no regret bought nomad earlier Nice. Did you get the wallet case? QUOTE(moniqee @ Nov 15 2020, 08:35 PM) Haha, no la, I don’t doubt the toughness, just concerned about the battery. |

QUOTE(ahlin @ Nov 15 2020, 08:44 PM) Nomad ages better for sure, but the side polycarbonate body kinda make the phone thicker. While Apple's leather case give better feeling. Nonetheless, both are great casing. QUOTE(shevagol @ Nov 15 2020, 08:59 PM) Nomad age better in my opinion. leather patina looks like a dirty case. some may like it but not me. That's y i go for black leather this year, and the year before. But yes Nomad side bumper is a lil bit thick as it provides security for 10ft fall. I have both Nomad and leather for my pro max. I prefer leather grip more QUOTE(moodytea @ Nov 15 2020, 08:59 PM) prefer the apple leather case Oh, the Nomad side is PC? Didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been watching some videos and it does age rather nicely. Maybe I’ll ask my wife to decide if she wants the ori Apple leather or the Nomad but that will kinda spoil it coz it’s meant to be a Christmas gift, haha....1) side is also cover in leather 2) best button in any case 3) compatible with magsafe 4) slimmer & lighter choose saddle brown if you are getting the apple's, the only color that ages well. On a side note, I charged my 12 Pro Max with my old 12W iPad charger last night - from 17% to 100% took 3.5 hours! Hahaha... Definitely go with the USB PD option |

QUOTE(isildur88 @ Nov 16 2020, 08:28 AM) Nope, never did for any of my previous iPhones over the years.QUOTE(mr08nobody @ Nov 16 2020, 08:44 AM) I went to machines yesterday, wanted to compare the apple and nomad leather cases. I ended up buying a watch instead of phone case. Really strong poison The Watch probably cost close to 10x the cost of the leather case |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 16 2020, 09:50 AM) https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5057233 Hahaha... I like how he didn't flinch at all when posting "collect from Mac City".. He does realise people can buy directly from Mac City cheaper right? Times are bad, bro. Even scalpers need to earn some money.My goodness, still got scalpers trying to scalp Iphone. Who would still buy from them? A friend got his 12 Pro Max Blue from MacCity yesterday and he told me it was ready stocks. A friend of mine posted this article on FB and shared the author's viewpoint that Malaysians are still spending money on "insanely expensive" iPhones despite the tough economy. I told him off privately - Not everyone is affected the same way by the pandemic, some businesses are booming, some are making more money now than compared to before the pandemic, hahaha. Point being as long as you know what you can afford and you spend within your means, then you should be fine. |

QUOTE(isr25 @ Nov 16 2020, 10:20 AM) Hahaha, I also sell phones like cabbages so overall net spending not that much bro - equivalent to 10-15 packs of cigarettes a month QUOTE(Carlo J @ Nov 16 2020, 10:20 AM) Yeah, but he started selling before MY launch, too bad can't clear stock.. Can't clear stock but selling more expensive than RRP, not sure if that is a successful strategy I agree, the people queuing up to collect iPhone 12 do not represent the entire population of Malaysia, probably just 1%, most of my friends who upgraded were coming from 6S/7/8 so it's reasonable. Yeah, exactly, it's a very small sample of the population that are in the queues.... |

QUOTE(Carlo J @ Nov 16 2020, 10:46 AM) Yeah, idk why still above RRP. I did check Apple online yesterday for a 12 Pro Max 128GB Pacific Blue - it shows ships in 2-3 weeks. Still, that's not a very long waiting time. Definitely better than paying RM500-RM700 extra!Stock isn't limited and people are willing to wait because it's just a matter of days before you get the phone if you order from Apple. |

QUOTE(JasonTheGreat @ Nov 16 2020, 10:51 AM) On Saturday i went to 4 Maxis Stores, Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max Congrats on getting the phone! Did you get the storage size you wanted? I booked a 128GB 12 Pro Max Pacific Blue but the maxis outlet that took our name called us and told us only the 256GB available but we grabbed it anyway.TTDI (11.40am) > The Curve IPC > Bangsar > Nu Sentral (2.30pm) All sold out but only TTDI asked me to put down name. At 3,30pm TTDI really called back and reserved 1 unit for my wife. Today got the phone......14/11 > 16/11 few days only. Kudos to Maxis. When TTDI open shop today already left 12 and Mini only. So it's all reserved, don't walk in. Now need to hunt for a Non contract unit for sub line |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 16 2020, 11:43 AM) I posted on FB when I first got my iPhone. Hey it is my wall, so I have the right. So what happened was one of my university friends replied to the comment and said iPhone is nice in a way but she will still opt for Android. Then, I replied I'm not sure if I will like it too because it is also my first time using it. Another friend replied, "money spent sure will like it la". Yeah, true. While we feel for those affected by the pandemic, not everyone is affected the same. Anyways, as long as it is within our means, no one should be passing any judgement. Well, I don't even bother to reply the second friend. 9 in total actually. I have their credit cards. Gosh 9 credit cards?? That's a lot... I have 6 and I thought that was too many already! I've now embarked on a mission to cut down on the credit cards coz of the RM25 service tax per card... |

I think there probably was a limited number of Pro and Pro Max units available at all outlets over the weekend as it was the launch weekend. The supply will probably be better over the next two to three weeks Starscream666 liked this post

QUOTE(daimon @ Nov 16 2020, 04:46 PM) hahaha because of pandemic, many people cant travel abroad Oh yeah, that could also be a reason. Good point!so they use the money to buy things instead many people q up at luxury brands in Pavi and KLCC and some people just change their phone to new one after many years like me, after 5.8 years of using i6, i can use 12 now daimon liked this post
