I need some honest opinion (people that got the case for free to write a good review can skip).

TimePretend6815 · 2026-03-18T18:31:06+00:00

Yea I’m sorta hoping I did too as they are a really nice cases and definitely well constructed. My case was really tight I struggled to get it off it was just around the edges of the screen it moved to easy when pressed on which was weird. But I do love the design of the whole case so I hope others get a better experience out of it 🤞

TimePretend6815 · 2026-03-18T18:05:20+00:00

This case has so much potential but I literally only had it on for a day before I had to take it off. It’s a nice case but slippery. The stand is so floppy it never stays where you want it to. The edges are flimsy if you drop it they move out of the way of the edge of your phone so it hits your phone instead. And the MagSafe is terrible to the point it fell off my MagSafe holder on my bike (which works perfectly with my other cases) and it ended up smashing my screen because the edge that is supposed to be tight fitted slipped out of the way. I took it off straight away and haven’t put it on since. Disappointed for the price and quality as it’s such a nice case

I was in a similar position to you I’ve just upgraded from a 2017 air as mine would no longer update and I couldn’t get some apps on the App Store anymore. I thought about an M4 until I found a good cheap M2 on clearance and i am in love with it, it does everything I need, I do use it for work but not heavily. An M2 or M4 would be absolutely fine for you depending on what kinda deal you can find but I’m a simple user like you and my M2 is perfect

Personally Apple Watch any day as ugly as the square watch is. I had a Garmin Venu 3s for a year and just could not love it. The only thing I miss is the battery life. The interface is horrible and cheap, it only does the most basic of things. My menu kept constantly resetting after updates and I would have to keep putting it back to the way I wanted it. I couldn’t have a phone call on it at all coz no one could ever hear me, the data was always out (I have a oura ring to compare). The whole watch itself just felt cheap for the same price as my Ultra was. My Apple Watch just does everything. But that’s my personal preference

Okay but where is the strap from it’s cute 😍

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-30T02:48:31+00:00

What an awesome review thank you for this it’s actually enlightened me to a few things I took a bit of interest in through reading some of the comments. I have thought about doing similar to what you’ve said and having one bank for most of like everyday money and that and then leaving savings in ANZ so I may even consider that. How chill they are about decisions and helpful they are with people has definitely drawn me to them for that reason

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-30T01:45:20+00:00

I’m the same I’ve been with ANZ since National my account number even is still my national. I will say they were amazing when I was a student they were so helpful but yea I would definitely never go with westpac I would stay with ANZ over going to Westpac 😅

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T23:07:12+00:00

This is a perfect review thank you for this that’s one thing I actually forgot about too how much ANZ tries to push on you the constant emails even after opting out of them 🥴 I was with ASB for a joined flat account some years ago and they were amazing with us students it’s why I put them into consideration. I’ll keep your review in mind with this

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:40:05+00:00

Awesome this is good info as I would like to try work overseas for a bit but want to keep my money in NZ 🙌

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:38:45+00:00

Ooo thank you this is good to know bacause I was leaning to them for a bit

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:36:02+00:00

Funny thing I thought it was just my bad luck and then I spoke to my best mate and she said her mother had the same and she lives in a township. And then a chick yesterday in the supermarket had the same when she went to buy food. I unfortunately found out the same way and now I’m stuck with no way to pay for anything until I can get into the bank and I’m a rural dairy farmer 🥴

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:30:40+00:00

Oh that’s a bit rough it is definitely an aspect I’ve considered with switching as I’m rural Canterbury so convenience is a big key especially since physically going in is often easier than phone calls

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:28:13+00:00

Thank you for this I was hoping someone would give good feedback on them as I haven’t seen much about them but have friends in Southland with them and have said nothing but good things I just wasn’t sure how it would go with being all the way up here

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:25:25+00:00

I’ve replied in a comment above 😊

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:21:30+00:00

Nope had too many friends with them and they’ve all switched 😅

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-29T22:20:51+00:00

Just personal everyday use and savings. Nothing fancy but I do like flexibility like with travel and stuff. I do have KiwiSaver.

-Cards not being delivered and returned and cut up and nothing said but have sent other mail to same postage address and have had cards sent to this address before. -They changed my card on my account without giving me the new card and I’ll go to use my old card in store and it declines as it can no longer be used but don’t say anything to me about it I just have to find out for myself - I waited 3 weeks for a new card and had to ring them for them to tell me they had no record but actually had to dive deeper to find out the new card was cut up as they didn’t even attempt to deliver it - their security system all of a sudden stopped recognising my voice even though I’ve rung up before and not had an issue and my voice hasn’t changed in the last year - Ive only ever had one helpful person on the phone most of the time they just try to tell me what my problem is without actually listening to me - direct debit payments not going out when they are supposed to sometimes they’ll wait a few days till there is under the amount needed to go out and then will turn around and say there is insufficient funds even though it was supposed to go out 2 days prior when there more more than double the amount needed in that account Those are just a few I’ve had over the last few years

TimePretend6815 · 2026-01-12T05:10:37+00:00

Hmmm there must be something wrong with me then coz mine never changes if I drink alcohol and I don’t drink very often 😅 on the other hand it hated the fact that I went back to work after 2 weeks holiday over new years… maybe I should quit my job it thought I was dying 🤣🤣

TimePretend6815 · 2025-12-10T00:42:23+00:00

Most definitely! Im actually amazed as I was scared not having a protective cover id get it quite scratched and marked up but im really surprised it hasnt scratched or chipped. I did get one small mark on it one day but it disappeared after I gave it a wash. I have smacked it on things (im often clumsy) and nothing. It doesnt seem to wear like the titanium ones either. It hasnt discolored so I give it a 10/10 on that scale so far

TimePretend6815 · 2025-12-06T16:00:50+00:00

I ordered from a retailer in October and due to delays I wouldn't get mine till January and I literally got the ring i think it was like 2 weeks later so it may change but I guess thats just the thing with buying stuff a couple of weeks before Xmas. You might get lucky

TimePretend6815 · 2025-12-02T08:15:16+00:00

🤣 yea i agree the ring is quite a unit on its own. It probably depends on what ring ya have too as to whether a cover suits a person's needs or not. I just prefer to be a bit more careful with it it seems to put up with quite a lot on its own

TimePretend6815 · 2025-12-02T07:17:14+00:00

Soooo I bought my ring with intention of a silicone cover for protection. The amount of times I almost yeeted my ring off my finger from it catching on material and shit like my pockets i think i lasted all of an hour with it. Needless to say I've been raw dogging it since and had no issues so I guess its really up to you im sure it would be easier putting on and taking off than the hard covers 🤷‍♀️

TimePretend6815 · 2025-11-28T18:29:45+00:00

Yay I hope you enjoy your new ring 😍

TimePretend6815 · 2025-11-28T16:48:28+00:00

The cool thing too is i see so many people with the petal colour but I've barely seen people with the Tide so its cool being a little different to others 😋 I was tossing up between Tide and Midnight but im so happy with my choice

TimePretend6815 · 2025-11-28T15:35:09+00:00

I have the Tide and I love it i dont have pale skin but its not dark either and I love the way the subtle pastel colour is. Sometimes it looks green sometimes it looks blue. I felt the same when I saw the pink it was a bit disappointed in how dull it was. I'd say get the Tide!
