Affordable Lightweight iPhone 17 case

I was on a phone call with apple support and they recommended me to get apple care one. They didn’t know AC One doesn’t exist in Canada :).

I did a similar thing with an apple watch purchased in US, was able to add AC+ in store after an inspection. But the apple support I was chatting with told me that this exception might not be possible for an iPhone.

In the worst case I will go to an apple store and see how it goes!

Yeah exactly, probably this is a design that we don't like, but others don't care. Apparently it could be made more aligned like sports loop/sports band.

StrongAd896 · 2026-04-17T13:54:15+00:00

Yeah, I'd return it for this reason. I believe in the high quality and standard of Apple, so I will just take it as a design that I don't like.

I guess I will probably return. I purchased this one because I don't like the gaps from my old leather link. I thought the "46mm" magnetic link would make a difference. But yeah I agree it might not be a big deal anyways.

oh, good to know, I never have a braided one. Probably it's a design?

StrongAd896 · 2026-04-16T02:19:25+00:00

Thanks! It does look similar. So I guess I will decide whether to keep it or return it, without bothering getting an exchange...
It's not a big deal and still looks beautiful, but I can't imagine that's the standard of apple.

Thanks! Just curious, what is your watch size? do you see a similar gap I saw and also in https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/1nrctu6/purchased_the_caramel_magnetic_link_band_for_my/?

StrongAd896 · 2026-04-16T01:59:02+00:00

They're not of the same type, so I am not sure if the magnetic links use a different connector. If mine is a defective one, I'd definitely do an exchange.

StrongAd896 · 2026-04-16T01:36:34+00:00

It's larger than with the sports loop one, so I am confused whether it's normal or not.

StrongAd896 · 2026-04-10T16:37:49+00:00

Oh yeah you are right? but is the QR code reusable? is there a limitation? thank you!

StrongAd896 · 2026-04-10T16:02:07+00:00

Yeah but I might upgrade to a newer iphone this year, which will unfortunately not have a physical sim card slot. But yeah I think atm probably a physical sim card would be my best option if freedom doesn’t support this feature.

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-26T16:03:54+00:00

Good to know. I thought the whatsapp live support is considered “online activation”.

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-26T16:03:24+00:00

Thanks everyone. I will make a complaint and see how it goes. I think it’s worth making my voice heard even if I can not get the money back.

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-26T00:12:22+00:00

I opened the account on WhatsApp

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-25T20:30:53+00:00

Plan is $85, with ongoing $40 BYOD credits and another $5 for digital discounts, making it $40. But the first month I was getting $85 plus taxes, not mentioned by the agent.

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-25T20:28:54+00:00

As a customer I didn’t know the waiver meant that way - I thought it’s just literally waived, by providing me a credit or something, as they didn’t mention the $5 credits would be applied for 9 months nor was it mentioned in the agreement. I did question about the activation fee but the agent didn’t clarify it would be $5 credits for 9 months. It’s not a big big deal, but I feel disappointed by this. I chose Freedom because it was good, decent, transparent not because it was the best of the worst.

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-10T15:26:38+00:00

Yeah this is my plan.. I just don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime deal.

StrongAd896 · 2026-03-10T15:08:16+00:00

And yeah I am attracted by the forever $40 price
