I looked on Amazon and received a sturdy book-type case with magnetic closing, with camera, speaker and microphone apertures. Access to on-off and volume buttons. Plus free stylus and screen protector all for £1.99. delivered. OK. it sounds cheap and its plastic (leather lookalike) but I think it's great and they have sold hundreds.

I got this also , arrived today , very pleased with it

Yes, and when you add up all the money you spend in expensive restaurants by being a member of The Gourmet Society, you will realise you could have bought a 5s phone! These offers that state you "save" on the cost of etc. etc. are nonsense, as you don't save anything if you weren't going to buy that in the firstplace.

The Gourmet Society card is similar to the Taste Card. Both include the most of the ordinary restaurants that ordinary people like myself go to anyway eg Pizza places, curry houses etc etc. So as long as you go out more than a few times a year, the cards are worth at least £30 in terms of savings.

I've used the free versions eg (two months membership etc) that come up every so often, and both cards seem to work fine and really do save you money in typical regular restaurants. The trouble with free memberships is they are only for a month or so, and then you have to wait about 6 months before another free deal comes up.

For people who never go out at all, then the value of the card is zero, but most people do eat out occasionally and for those people the cards do have a value. I've valued the card at £30 for me, as this takes account of the availability of the short-term free versions and other voucher offers that are often available at the chain restaurants. For some people, the value may be higher and for others lower. The retail price of these cards is around £70, but you can often get them cheaper.

We also eat out regularly and there are nearly always masses of vouchers, deals & promotions for the chain restaurants etc.
Once you have registered for a voucher, they arrive like clockwork. So I cannot see a "saving" of £30. But I would rate the Moto G worth the price anyway, forgetting any eating discounts.

How is it with the availability in the stores? Can I buy it in Vodafone/ Tesco bricks-and-mortar shop or do I have to order it online?

It's been available in many Tesco stores for some months although stock levels change all the time.Vodafone and O2 recently started to stock them too so there's a chance any of those shops will have stock as would Phones4U. The phone is very popular and stocks come in and out all the time it seems.
