official website can give you 1 to 1 exchange if anything wrong with the iPad within 14 days. maybe a photo to show the fault is required but they are very easy going. some shop, even if they're authorized dealer, wont entertain exchange and will only ask you to go do warranty, even if you come back after 10mins after to walk out the shop with a brand new iPad.
you can try water set if they're like a lot cheaper cause the warranty is international. like my MacBook they never question where I got it when I sent it for warranty. just check if it's a real iPad then can already, very easy to spot a replica. |

QUOTE(ikki9394 @ Aug 7 2012, 01:22 PM) water set means import without Sirim approved, AP (approve permit) means got sirim approved but not official warranty. but since iPad has international warranty, and buying from apple.com also shipping from Singapore directly, no difference i'll say. as long as it's a real iPad, coming from anywhere also same. just remember to buy it sealed. not sealed don't buy. |

Thanks guys, I've decided to get it from the official site. Just for the sake of the free engrave and a peace of mind.
