You're a ignorant fool. Do you even know what OEM means? It means "original equipment manufacturer". It is not the same as replica/fake/pirated.

Oh kaaay.. chill man...
Small matter no need to get all excited about it

Anyways I just meant that we refer to the same product when using those words.
Either way... the manufacturs VapoReplica did a really good job!

ah thx for da feedback... gonna grab 1(gun metal looks cool~)~ >< will the apple store(time machine) help me to install the screen protector??? since the sgp hybrid ex come with da screen protector...~

OEM, this term, in terms of iPhone cases is misused badly. I had to voice out because I'm very fed up with those sellers claiming those cases to be OEM while it is indeed a replica/fake/pirated.

So why they call them OEM? To attract customers of course. They are able to imitate 99.99% therefore, they label it as OEM so to attract more customers, customers will think that they are really from the factory that is manufacturing the real thing because of the word OEM.

There, a fellow forumer already kena with the so called OEM but imitation product. So better becareful next time if you see the word OEM and they claim to be original and selling by half of the original price. If you own the real thing before, you will notice instantly that it is indeed an imitation product.

Not happens to all, but I've seen a lot cases already with similiar case. Especially Speck/Incase/Belkin/Moshi brand. These 4 is the most serious ones base on my experience while I was hunting for the perfect case for my iPhone4.

add Switcheasy and SGP to that list too bro... he he...

may i know how u got the e13tron..? so 1337! lol

what is your opinion? wrap around case or full leather flip cases if I keep the phone in my jeans pocket? thanks

it's really un-ethical on the seller part. Most of us don't have problem with other selling fake/replica but he/she must be truthful and not deceived ppl with the OEM term, thinking that the item came from the same manufacturer as the original. We occasionally have some noob posting about having problem with this and that case without even mentioning that they are using a fake/replica case, thus lowering the confidence of those who wanna get the original case.

No kidding? Almost bought from that rayken fellow...
Luckily didnt...

Sellers should admit if it's replica or fake at least ppl know what it is about. I bought some SGP Oleophobic from ~winter~ when use... scratch super easy and rainbow effects like crazy... and oil smudges all over the place after short use.

Sickening.

It's marketing strategy.
Not much we can do is just to advice others that it is an imitation.
Most people would eventually buy it cause of the amount difference is so high.
But as you say la, pay peanuts and you'll get peanuts

Anyone using Switcheasy Nude for iPhone 4?

Yeah, haha I forgot to mention SGP. Switcheasy in my hometown not that much oh suprisingly, which is a popular brand!

If you're paranoid about whether it will scratch your iPhone, then get the full body cover flip cases. Though I had not find any scratches on my iPhone, yet, using the Incipio feather. Just had to isolate it from keys, coins, lighters and sharp metal stuffs.

Yeap, but as you may know, no one would want to admit that their products are non-ori. So that's why the sellers use the name OEM to help them cover up their explaination when customers ask.

Yes, so it's better to grab some reviews on well known case reviewers on youtube rather than reading it here IMHO. But the price, the price can almost tell already. But still, a lot of consumers don't really care they are getting the original or fake ones until they encounter problems with their case. For enthuasists like us, we do look for quality ones beside just looking at the looks or price.

Yeah, sometimes their packaging is so similiar that we, consumers could not distinguish whether they are original or imitated products, until we have purchased and used it.

I think you meant the difference is very unnoticable. Yeah I agree, the imitation nowadays are so perfect that it's so hard to distinguish between them. Tsk tsk tsk. Most people will still buy because they don't really care much about the quality because it's cheap, until they found problems, scratches or scuff marks on the metal part when they remove the phone from the case.

i bought a SGP ultra thin case (replica) at cheap price and i'm happy using it. but the Switcheasy Vulcan case i bought is original.
the feeling of using ori product is really good, i can see the case fit without any issue. button also easy to press and of course build quality is superb.

Is the screen protector sold in Digi centre good? forgot the brand name.

Worst is those who sells the replica at original price.

Hahaha! Got it at e13tron.com. If u want to order, we can share the shipping? Eheheh...
