dont generalize like that bro... yes some are selling fakes, n some even say upfront it's fake (or 'OEM' or whatever).

but trust me there are also those honest people selling original ones

if scared, just buy from reliable sellers, read the testimonials, etc.

some fakes for the more expensive cases like vapor can reach >rm100. but most fakes are <rm50

u might want to read the thread title hehehe

here's the thing. it's a phone case. apart from lifeproof etc, they're just a piece of plastic / silicon mold. not much r&d to do there. just like tshirts...need r&d?

if u use a rm10 plastic case or rm100 ori plastic case...it's pretty much the same material, same yield strength, same hardness, same fracture strength.

the quality difference come from the manufacturing. that's why some fake ones doesnt fit well, poor cutting and so on

and of course this doesnt include leather cases

haha but i agree about how the term OEM is misused. it's not a good thing cuz it'll spoil the term OEM and ppl may end up misunderstood

i myself was a victim. few years ago i was looking for a charger for my gf's HP laptop. found a pretty cheap one and when i ask if it's ori, the seller said OEM. at that time i didnt know ppl use the term OEM as fake, i just thought it was original (from the same factory) just without the HP branding, so it makes sense that it's cheaper. a few months after that the charger broke. i wouldn't have bought it if i know it's fake

i bought it rm30 including postage from forumer itkj89

the silicone lining the cutting not that good. quite hard to press the volume buttons. now im using the original silicone lining + fake plastic shell

im still using the same powersupport antiglare since i bought my phone on the malaysian launch day. looks as good as new

too fat/long those are personal preference. for me, yes it's too damn bulky. i guess it's worth it if u dont have access to a charger whole day...maybe when u're travelling or something. but for everyday use, the internal battery should last long enough, no?

3 days is too early to judge

2. so i dont have to bother applying it every few months or so. the cutting should be better too

yes aluminium cases are a bit bulky and heavy
