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

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.
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.

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.
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.

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

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.
