That's great news! rclxms.gif
I have ordered my Brown Yoobao via eBay.
Not sure when it will arrive.... tongue.gif  rclxms.gif
Yes, please share with us some of the photos! biggrin.gif
Don't bother what other people says... I think the Yoobao case is more practical than the other "branded" ones...

Wow, so even a rm20 screen protector is even clearer than a hundred over one.

You can definitely have "clearer" screen protector, you have two classes of them, clear and matter/antiglare, but that does not protect from fingerprints and smudges. Come back here with your "wow" once that happens. wink.gif

These China-brand screen protectors works, but once your finger oil sets in, it will deposit swirl-marks when you try and remove them by wiping with cloth. In the end, you end up carrying a cloth and furiously wiping it away, which is a chore due to the size of the screen. Sure, save up on a cheapo brand, but all that saving and having to contend with furious wiping to keep the finger oil and smudges away? Be my guest. rolleyes.gif

Weird that you went all the way to buy a "luxury"-class item (not a necessity), but unwilling to do the same to protect it. Sounds more like you want to get one because everybody else has one or look at you when you have one, not because you'd like to protect your investment or have a better experience using it (smudges?) when you have the right accessories with it.

The point that is worthy of any "wow" is a matte/antiglare screen protector that doesn't impede on clarity when viewed directly. I can simply saran-wrap my iPad with kitchen plastic wrapper and that gives that clear look and that is not even more than RM10.

Please think before you type something.

^ Did my post offended u in any way?

I was just stating the fact since the guy above tried the product and he feels it's much clearer than the other 2 expensive sp.

Of btw, the one he had is an anti-glare one, not the clear type. laugh.gif laugh.gif

i think you too sensitive la...

Put it in this way.... a lot people can afford to buy let say a japanese car.... but not everyone will spent money to get the best window tinted that cost 2-3k.

I think everyone has their priority in their life and i don't see how a normal SP and a branded SP will do different kind of protection... both of the SP are still protected. Some people just didn't want to spent extra 100 bucks just because of the finger wiping. and of coz i do notice the different in the viewing quality too but for some people it does not matter to them. And yeah High end iPad accessories is not cheap too you will be end up spending more than an iPad.

Just my opinion... don't mean to offend you... i just feel everyone has their right to choose the item they wanted. this is why we have different kind of brand and quality offered in the market.

Of coz if i'm really rich i would definitely spend on most of the high end product like what you did.

Come back to me again when that RM20 SC comes away without finger oil and swirl marks on it later. There's a reason why the RM100++ SC are priced that way, and it's not because it's the Gucci or the Prada of SC.

High end meaning = luxury item? I'm not sure if this philosophy applies to everyone, but personally, it's better spending a bit more and end up using it well and last longer, than skimping on cheap quality ones and having to replace it again and again later or worse, have it not protecting your iPad enough that it damages it. The intention was to protect the iPad on the cheap, but end up having to fork out on repairs or worse, permanently damaging the iPad. Take your pick.

My accessories = high end? They don't have glittering diamonds or rubies for crying out loud! They're functional and makes use of their design to make it practical to every day usage. Which of my accessories are "high end"? rolleyes.gif

I'd avoid any case/folio/enclosures that utilizes the skimpy corner elastics, it will wear in time, and gravity will do its punishment to the iPad. But hey, everybody want things cheap these days, so ....*shrugs*

The very reason why Elas Passport aren't that recommendable compared to the other cases like full-cover leather cases. Even the Yoobao is much safer than the Elan.

Bro, i'm sure you are much more appreciated just stating out the pros and cons ... do not need to keep on mention cheap is bad...

I've been through some of the product on the casing... even the buyer of Amazon gave good review to it.... thus im suggesting to euphoria....

I really appreciate all the info you've posted all this while... it was really informative.. you already mention it all your product review in each post let the ppl to decide what they want... don't ever force ppl to have the same thinking as you... if people do not take your words so be it...

I am sure that everyone knows that there are many options in life. It can be any kind of options from a partner in life up till a simple thing such as a iPad screen protector. One might take one and the other might take another. Good or bad, depends on how you look at it.

Nothing is perfect and noone is absolutely correct. It's unfortunate that some people are quite narrow minded.

I just want to let you guys know that the Apple Dock has China clone units, which is smaller than original unit by 30-40%

So please beware when you guys getting the dock, you might ended up getting the smaller unit at the original price.

I guess some folks can have lower expectations and standards, so eh, I guess I'll leave it at that. Just providing a different point of view, because not all things expensive are because they are branded, it's because they are manufactured to last, and feature-filled. If the iPad is a passing "fad" or "just another device" to you, then it makes sense not providing the best there is for it. I would also understand the financial aspect of it, but there's always the option of "I'll get this RM20 first as a stop-gap measure, before settling for the better one". Hell, I did that myself when I got the relatively cheaper wrapping service done on the iPad before I moved on to proper screen protector+ Switcheasy Nude case combo! I would have understood and accepted that, rather than "worshipping the cheap and belittling the pricier option" perception pervading a lot of people here. I would also understand that it would make sense if the "pricier option" is designer in kind, then it would make sense not to recommend it, and probably deserve that "Wow, RM20 stuff better than RM100 stuff" statement. But for something like the PowerSupport and its widely acclaimed functionalities to be reduced to "pricier option = high-end = designer (?)", is not right. If that is not the intention, the person who did posted that "Wow" sentence does makes it like it sounds that way.

Hell, the only thing "designer" or "high-end" in the iPad items/accessories I have is the iPad itself! The rest are accessories that are merely better versions of the cheaper options made available locally. rolleyes.gif

Its different when you are 'up' there and you are 'in a position' to get all the good stuff. Lets just leave the 'hey I worked hard enough to earn it' arguments later biggrin.gif. I would have done the same and I believe everyone would do the same too. But having said that, everyone deserves to get the iPad or whatever devices they wishes for. Even if they have to break their last piggy bank. Don't judge hehehehe...

Obviously people value things or perceive value differently. Some are just contented with a regular screen protector while some just likes to go plain vanilla. Hey, its their devices hehehehe...

p/s: By the way, I'm gonna shop for the air support? screen protector this weekend. I hate finger prints tongue.gif
