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.

Why are you being so harsh on him? It's as though he said something that directly affected you. Take a chill pill. icon_idea.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

Scroll back for the "what's air support" , "Power support", and all the cheeky sarcasm that revolves around the price insinuated here. My posts aren't just there for decoration, it's there for dissemination of information. And yes, the Powersupport Antiglare ain't sold in "high end", "designer" outlets like Prada or Burberry, it's sold by Machines itself. If you perceive Machines as designer or high end, then I give up, maybe you need to go to Petaling Street for you preferred "affordable" iPad related store.

I'm not gonna stretch this further, so I'll just say that I hope you're happy with whatever choices you've made with your iPad. and its accessories. I strongly believe my choices aren't made with just "looks" in mind, they are more functional than "looks". I find it ridiculous for someone to lump the Powersupport as "designer", when it is made available widely at Apple Resellers locally. That ploy is probably to divert the attention to the price of their preferred screen protector, because the "no-name" brand has no justifiable history of recommendation behind it, other than being "cheaper in price". Which what seems to drive the mindset of typical Malaysians these days anyway. Hell, I'd even believe if there's shipments of iPad "jatuh from lori" and sold at half price, Malaysians wont mind paying for that price, because "it's cheap" and not because "it isn't the right thing to do".

Noone is insisting that one should buy a cheaper product over another. You're setting up the whole hoo-ha yourself.

I don't think anyone is insisting that the more expensive screen protector should be labeled as a designer item. We all know that its pricier because of its quality.

I believe that "What you pay, is what you get" holds true to almost everything that people can buy.

From your explanations, it is clear to everyone that you're over-thinking it. Take it easy. rclxm9.gif
