Celebrating 5 years of Fairphone 2 - slim case offer

I am experiencing difficulty ordering - is this because I am in the UK?

Maybe you’ve the similar problem as mentioned e.g. here?

Thanks for the advice, I can see the flag at the to right is set to the UK and the shop offers delivery. The shop recognises me but when I go to checkout the website displays my name and address and states:

" Shipping methods

Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time"

and there is no way to proceed.

Apologies - it’s working now! Thanks again @Volker

Great news!

I get the same issue as Iain above though - previously I’ve ordered through the UK-specific shop, but that doesn’t offer the cases. Maybe I need to go through the process in a specific order?

Aha, all sorted. I removed all items from basket, changed country from UK and back again, and started seeing prices in GBP rather than EUR - that did the trick!

Many thanks for this generous offer lasting for so long. Hopefully all will by fine with my phone for the time to come. I would had taken this offer if I wasn’t already satisfied to my highest degree as my phone operates and looks just as I wish it to. Nothing to change.
For me it’s my first smartphone and your product meets my expectations to the fullest satisfaction. No complaints so far. An every day gadget, take it - use it, no hassle.
Maybe I’ll give Android 9 a try, but I still would miss the sim soft-switch feature or did I miss something about this meanwhile? Keep on :+1:

Smart move! I held on to a cracked screen and cover for several months now because it wasn’t that bad… but with such an offer it is hard to resist, so you got yourselfs an order for a new screen module + case :wink:

As a follow on question here (should this be a new post?) - does anyone know if these slimline cases can be recycled (in the UK)?

My last case has a small crack in a corner, so I’m probably not going to use it again. Or, as it’s better than no-case, I can hang onto it as a real long-term spare otherwise.

Is this offer still valid ? There’s no FP2 slim case in the shop…

I think the FP2 slim cases were just moved from “Accessories” to “Spare Parts”.

P.S.: I’ve now allowed myself to edit @formerFP.Com.Manager’s original post to change the link to the new one.

Until when the discount code will be valid?

Just thought about it, but… are you actually trying to empty your FP2 spare parts stock? Do you still have enough cases? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
This offer is very nice, but it will make the stocks go down much faster…

Yes, and it leads to a terrible dilemma!

Do I not order one as my translucent slim case is still going strong (with some duct tape), and I also have the original case with loose rubber band lying around? As it would be a waste if I order one and never use it.

Or do I order one now just to be sure, in case my FP2 itself lasts longer than my current one?

My bet would be, that they have much more cases, than they will need in the future.
The end of stock of the bottom module will result in a decrease in demand of other parts, simply because there will be more phones that need to be replaced instead of used longer with a new bottom module.

@adrienneb
I see your dilemma.
The way I see it:
If your case still holds on (with duct tape) and you are fine with this, stick to it.
Once the case should be done for, you for sure will have no problem to get one in exchange.
Either a new one from Fairphone itself, as I expect them to have enough stock, or a used one from some other user, that is departing with his FP2 (especially when it is broken and given away/sold for spare-parts).
Even now you will every now and then find someone giving away a case for shipping costs in the market place.
