No point buddy reporting on you.Im not a kid arguing for a small thing.

Thanks for the awareness thru this thread.
Its buyer's choice whether to get imitation or genuine good.

Chill guys, it's just a misunderstanding..

If that imitation sells for RM100+, those sellers can GTFO... Well LYP shops are known to scam ppl for their accessories anyways, not the first time.. Last time during the 1st iPad, there's 1 exact same 'leather' casing where I saw in eBay for RM50, they were selling for RM200...

Smartcover, either get original or don't get it... Even the original one scratched my gf's backside of the iPad for a bit after a while because of the clip on/off magnet... I really wonder what damage the fake one would bring @.@

I don't see iPad as luxury item, it's not even the most expensive tablet on the market.

Yes some accessories in lyp are very expensive even for china one.

It is not a luxury item. Period. Sports car is a luxury item. A tablet is just a tablet. How can it be luxury item when tens of millions of ppl are having it?

It is lar. Luxury item : An item that is not necessary for living, but is deemed as highly-desired within a culture or society.  The ability to purchase or finance a luxury item is directly proportionate to ones' income or assets.  In other words, as people move into higher income brackets they are more able and more likely to purchase more expensive luxury goods. 

Luxury items are also known as "positional goods" because they signal that the owner has achieved a certain position or status within society to be able to afford them. 

Not everyone can afford these tablets. U can get a pretty good specced pc at the same price that does a lot more than the ipad.

agreed... All those designer's clothing, they're not called luxurious goods for nothing, even if I can afford one or two, they're still called luxury item no matter what @.@.. Millions of people have them also, still that doesn't change the fact it's designer's clothing...

Hmm , if the fake smart cover quality is as shown in the YouTube video and selling for a price at the least RM 50-90 price range

I'm ok to add a few bucks more and get the original one instead of getting an imitation which will get spoilt in matter of time

My view on purchasing item laugh.gif

i'm not against buying fake stuff... but charging a full ori price for a fake item I don't agree. Anyone selling fake stuff shud just go ahead and say "this item is not original, hence the lower price"... I'd buy in a heartbeat if I like it...

Don't deceive others and make a profit out of it.

Ipad is not, but their accessories are.. Im puzzled as well as to why only Ipad owner will buy 'clothing' for their tablet and not other brands.

I'm not sure if this analogy of yours is logical, but since it's already a sports car, it might as well comes with sports rim...

the correct analogy should be, "got money to buy sports car, but no money to pump V-power Racing..." tongue.gif

But I guess it's always the Malaysian mentality... got money to buy Apple but no money to buy AppleCare... whistling.gif

Apparently, Apple did not earn much on the Smart Covers ... China factories try to copy 1-to-1 and only manage to reduce price to about USD20-25 (compared to the original USD39.90)... I think more than 1 factory produces these and I saw a post HERE that the first attempts were really lowsy, it falls apart and smells bad ... not sure about the new batches, they might have improved production already...

True. I went lowyat and I tried those 'original' smart covers. It won't fit the ipad2 nicely and the magnet cannot stick like the original does.
