What do you guys think if buying oem product that will bring risk to your iphone?
Let say waterproof case.
Buy oem one coz ori is expensive.
For me, dont want buy original product because expensive. But why do you bought original iphone, why dont you buy iphone clone since its cheaper. Do you get me?
Many share your sentiment and I think we all get you. Why not go that extra mile to buy a proper case for the iPhone since you have already splurge a fortune for the iPhone itself
BUT
the thing is this, many here also is on the view that since they have already splurged a fortune for the iPhone then they should cut back on the protectors etc.
To many, screen protectors and casings are secondary protection, the first layer of protection should be yourself being extremely careful but no matter how careful one can be, accidents always happens.
My view is that if you intend to purchase a normal casing just to prevent your iPhone from customary scratches and bumps then OEM casings will do just as good BUT if you are looking for specialty cases such as waterproof then it's definitely not worth risking buying OEM.
If you purchase the casing from the original manufacturer then in the event of any defects in the casing which causes your iPhone to suffer damages then there is a probability that you may raise a claim against them however if you purchased it from an OEM then, too bad.
The casing I am using now for my iPhone 5s is a duplicate of the SGP ulltra thin soft clear casing and it only costs me RM8.00 whereas the original one will costs me at least RM90.00. i cannot find the justification on spending almost RM100.00 for a casing which will only provides protection for scratches.
