I would suggest a clear or glass screen protector. Matt SP ruins the beautiful screen

DOA unit bro. You can complain to them and ask for a replacement

You'll get used to it after awhile. The 'big' will soon be a norm

You mean you want to sell your product?

Here Garage Sales

The red pouch is a good idea. You get to carry it around, stuff inside a bag and yet still get to carry around a 'naked' iPad

Joining the iPad Air gang?

In China, there are 2 warehouses. This is where all the Apple shipments are stored. Foxconn produces the products. Singapore has a warehouse too but only limited quantities meant for SEA region. If your shipment comes from China, it is either a customized (engraved) or there is no ready stock in the Singapore Warehouse.

Shipments from China usually will take another 1-2 working days only. As of now, all Apple shipments are handled by DHL only, except Third Party areas, which is not covered by DHL.

UPS service is no where near DHL

Yup, you'll get it tomorrow, provided if they have already cleared your item

Delivery periods between 9-5 weekdays only. You can self collect at their EPJ office (Subang Airport) until 6pm on weekdays, if you don't have anyone to collect it for you.

Crap. Just dropped my ipad. The screen cracked.

Do I need to pay for a replacement screen and how long does it take to replace?

Maybe 3rd party. If sell also rugi alot bro. Prefer to keep it

So Machines quoted me RM1259 to replace another iPad Air since my device is considered as 'out of warranty' as the screen cracked last week. That's like paying 80% of the original cost for a new iPad Air after one month.

With a casing on. Ironically.

Was sitting by the bench and placed my ipad ontop of my bag and somehow it slipped and fell on the ground. Like knee length height. Hit the edge, causing the screen to crack

Cost about RM500 to replace a new screen. As for a new unit, not considering since the device is only a month old. It's like throwing away 1.6k. Will replace the screen after CNY thanks anyway

Probably replacing the screen. 3rd party that is.

Replacing the screen will not void the warranty no?

There is no need to pull up the battery to replace the screen. If you've watched videos on screen replacement, all they need is a heating gun to 'melt' the adhesive and remove the screen from the device. Plus, a broken screen = out of warranty. Meaning to say that the warranty is already voided. Won't make any difference if it is being replaced anyway

The back is the usual Apple box. White with wordings. Where did you bought yours from that made you skeptical?

At least it didnt crack like mine

Apple products are pretty much standardized. Everywhere is the same pricing, more like a 'controlled' item. There is no pros or cons for an iPad. If you really want to differentiate between an Android and iOS, there is always plenty of websites and forums that explains and differentiate the differences, just need to put in more effort in looking.

Cheaper? Wait for Red-Friday sales next year because the pricing is pretty much standard for Apple products. Controlled item. So basically just go to wherever that is at your convenience.

How is that being sarcastic? Do you feel offended?

Apple's pricing are always the same across every single authorized retailers in Malaysia. We do not have Black-Friday sales hence the only time that Apple products are on discount is during Red-Friday sales which happens to fall only ONCE a year. Since he missed that deal, he can only purchase it only during the NEXT red-friday sale.

There is no such thing as force in consumer purchasing. You have the options to decide for yourself. The money is yours. Not such thing as 'MIGHT FORCE'. They force, just leave. Simple. And from my experience of authorized retailers, no one ever offered or 'forced' me to bundle my Apple devices before.
