So anyone ever tried the 6+ Nuud case on the 6S plus? Don't expect the seal to be proper but what about the case itself? Does it fit properly or is the 0.2mm too much ?

[ryan99tt]

Nah, it wudnt be water sealed...didnt bother trying it...

[Jonathan_337]

Considering getting one but I don't think I'd use it without a Lifeproof.LOL

[ryan99tt]

I does be in d sea ah couple times for the week fishing an i dont hav any protection on my fone an never had ah problem...the only problem i ever had was falling in d sea with my fone in my pocket...

[tr1ad]

Have a Nuud here and it fits, actually put the 6+ first then the 6s+ saw no gaps
Wouldn't use it tho, don't like the case anyway

[Jonathan_337]

Do you have to exert any extra force that seems like it would damage it when installing on the 6S+? I searched online all over but didn't find anything. If you don't like it btw what case do you use ? I like my devices in pristine condition so cases are pretty important to me.

I use a Ziploc.bag ..there are some phone sized bags that are not bulky.
The blue and green works well when closed.
I've spent an hr riding in monsoon rain without issue.

installation was the same way as the 6+...

case ? what case?

I've spent way too much money on cases in the past, for the first three months with the 6+ and previous phones i had a ton of cases and eventually stopped using them

[tr1ad]

best for me was the taktik for the 5s

[donnysam]

got my ipad mini 4 to replace my lost mini 2.
Seems ok its significantly thinner and lighter, enough to be noticeable when holding it kind of like an iphone 5s vs a 6.
battery life is excellent i played infinity blade 3 for 5 hours flying back from new york and still had 70 something % left that is probably the most impressive feature to me,
my iphone died during the flight with no use lol and my mini 2 would have died also.

Really wasn't gonna comment until I saw this comment. WTF?!!! I hope you not exaggerating cuz that is INCREDIBLE. My air 2's battery would've been sub 50%. I hoping they keep this trend up for ALL of their current gen offerings cuz I decided I'll be getting the 6s+ for that new camera.

Hey people, got the new 6s+ like I said I would but hit a lil snag. Got my aunt to bring it in for me but she brought the 64gb and not the 128gb I requested. Will put it up for sale and try to source the 128 so just a heads up to any interested parties as I haven't posted anything yet. Everything in plastic.

I have a 64GB and cant start to think of what I'd possibly keep on it to take up all that space

what do you store on the phone that requires 128GB?

Mostly games and music. The games I had on my 64gb 6plus alone was more than 70% capacity, I'm talking abt roughly 50 titles like ff series, broken age, san andreas, republique and games you wouldn't think would pick up so much space but they do. I work on site and more often than not we run into late hours, if carrying my laptop was feasible as far as an external power source/space restraints I would stick with 64 or even 32 if it was available. My phone and a power bank are the only solution I have found that works. Everybody have diff uses for their devices.

hey tunerz
can anyone purchase apple products online from the apple store using a TT credit card ?
Will apple ship items to a skybox address?

[Redman]

Ok Im in a bind here.

I would like to install a 1tb wd blue HDD on an 09 MBP.
I was told I cant upgrade to SSD

I put the new drive into an enclosure and its working.
Im getting an message window indicating that "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'
and I have 3 choices Initialize,Ignore or Eject.


I need confirmation ...to clone the new drive I have to partition and then format using the Disk utilities?
So Partition, Format, clone, then physically replace the old HDD with the new HDD.

Or if Im using Super Duper can I Ignore and then copy/clone the internal drive.?

I would like the detailed steps ..from the message window.
Any advice is appreciated.

[tr1ad]

you can create a bootable usb flash drive and install the OS, then transfer files from the old HDD

[tr1ad]

also parting with my barely used 6+ nuud for 300 if anyone interested.

[Redman]

Thanks for the response

I could create the Bootable flash drive, install the new hd boot up from the flash drive then copy the files from the old hd (in the enclosure)???
And all of this will work without me having to format the new HD?

[tr1ad]

there is a feature that even when you select to boot from the USB, you can select the disk utility to partition.... which takes a minute, then boot the OS and install from the USB

http://diskmakerx.com

[Redman]

Thanks Tr1ad,

I formatted the new drive external...and now Im cloning it.

I will boot the comp from the External to make sure it works.

If it does I will then remove the old and replace.
Nothing is wrong with the old drive so I figured it would be safer to make sure the new drive is done before I installed it.
Once that is working I will install el capitan
I didnt want to change too many things at the same time.

Yes and yes.

Apple will ship it anywhere for you. Only hiccup I had was that I had to contact the bank to authorize the payments.

[mero]

No apple does not ship to sky box addresses.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

No apple does not ship to sky box addresses.

they shipped to my WebSource skybox address many times

[treeneeboi]

No apple does not ship to sky box addresses.

[Swisha]

Never had a problem with Apple and my skybox address either. Didn't matter what the order was either, from cell phone cases to iPads to MacBooks...

[mero]

No apple does not ship to sky box addresses.

When was the last time you ordered something? They stopped shipping to freight forwarders as far as I know and see

[Chimera]
