The warranty of AP phones are by the shop itself lets say they sell to u RM1500 after 2 months u come back they must use their own pocket money to repair for u. If casing damage it might cost RM200 - RM300 so imagine if everyone come to their shop change casing they will be doing at lost. So they find reason to make it sound like its your fault so they dont bare the cost. When buying everything CAN CAN CAN CAN. Example 3 cases the guy phone cant turn on the shop say got water inside but the buyer never touch water or cases saying technician not available la he missing la no stock for parts. etc etc
Risk of changing your phone parts as spare parts? Non professional work like soldering might damage other things.
This are just risks assessment and not all AP dealers are like that but just handful are.
1 of my fren case also is Nokia 8800 ARTE CARBON. Zitron set because friend is AP company let him repair because micro usb port broken. The guy solder back it works for 2months then broke again.
2nd time send back he said cant fixed because he did a bad job in soldering it damage other parts of the motherboard. To change the motherboard cost like RM1200. Because the microusb is stick to the motherboard.
This just are my experience and opinion
AP phones are great when there is no problem. When there are problems hehe have fun
my additional advice is that get AP set from reputable sellers. i got myself an AP set as well. but from a better(bigger) AP company that offers 1 year on all components (lcd, charger, battery, acc) and 18 months on phone itself. But of course you wont get it at price like RM 15xx that people mention around here. Its only slightly cheaper than Zitron/Avaxx. It also comes with a contract that lets Nokia Care to provide service at a cost.
Avoid shop warranty at all costs. Shop warranty means the warranty is provided by the individual shop. Imagine a start-up company with 1 hot-dog-stand looking counter at the shopping mall. They wont be able to provide a proper warranty or repair your phone if its faulty. I dont want some newbie technician wannabe who has probably never taken apart a tablet/phone to tinker with my n900.
