Thaught I would be fine without a case for a week or 2 while sourcing the exact one I want, but this thing is slippery, I almost lost it 2 times already, I won't make it, my nerves.
Amazon seams to be the only option, a friend is going to the UK in 2 weeks but the case isn't on amazon.co.uk, it's only on amazon.com, if I ship from Merica to SA the total will be just over R900. Anyone with a alternative idea how I can get hold of that case?

If looking at the range of accessories in SA, it seams there is only a single importer bringing everything in then selling to the different places, because if looking at all the different stores, everyone basically has the same stuff. For example with the Speck Presidio cases, everyone only has the clear and glitter ones, but no one has the Grip which is the one I want.
I tried Takealot, Loot, iStore, Macnificent, iToys, Digicape, but nothing. Everyone has Speck but no one has Grip.

Get your friend to order it from mobilefun while he's there, £25 is only about R450.

See the link http://za.mobilefun.com/speck-presidio-grip-iphone-7-tough-case-black-60217 don't know how it works, but price in Rand and cheaper than I thought, I'll investigate how shipping etc will work, but thanks you put me on to something here.

Edit
Case R342.99, express shipping R369.99, price from the SA places on the normal Speck Presidio's goes up to R550, so R700 is not too bad.

Oddly enough if buying in the UK and paying in Pounds, the price for the case works out to over R400 depending on the exchange rate used, plus AFAIK UK sales tax is quite high.

UK VAT is 20%, but price shown will be including VAT.

From your POV it's definitely better to purchase from the SA link.
 
My phone gets quite hot when using it while on charge, my iPhone 6 didn't get as hot as this one does. Anyone elses iPhone 7 getting quite hot?

Depends on how much gaming and GPS I use. Sometimes I'm on 40% by lunch.
 
66%, including some charging while in the car. Depends on usage. Google Maps to work (traffic), WhatsApp and messaging throughout the day, Maps home again. Various apps and games throughout the day (check, collect, catch as I can, you know how it goes). Oh, and racing games at night.

The Uncourage is a keychain to keep you from losing the iPhone 7 3.5mm adapter

Okay, not only 'there's a dongle for that', but now there's a keychain for that dongle. The Uncourage (Apple's #courage, counteracted) is a simple keychain allowing you to carry your iPhone 7/7 Plus Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter around without losing it.

The remarkably low-tech solution to a previously non-existent problem consists of a key ring with a 3.5mm plug attached to it, and that's it. It's also priced accordingly - $6 a pop, but getting a 3-pack will run you $12 total, and 10 pieces come at half price, if you're shopping for the entire family (and/or have dozens of keys).

There is a similar product you can buy at Game for 150.
 
Umm instead of paying R150 for some fancy shiny looking 'do-dad' how about scrounging through your cable box and cutting off the end of an old jack plug and using that?

Since my friend is no longer going to the UK next week, I ordered the case today, in the end total came to R717, not bad considering if it was available in SA, it would have been at least R600.00. Shipping ETA says 14 - 16 November so a week, we'll see.
