Hi there
recently bought a few sgp cases from ebay , i should have known they were to be good to be true because of the low price and the fact they were from china
They turnt out to be the worst fakes ever and not even worth £1 in my eyes
Things that are wrong with the fake sgp cases
#no steinhall screen protector
#the box isnt the same
#the labels on the box and the font used are wrong
#the hologram is completley different and wrong on the fakes
#the silicone is mega cheap and attracts loads of dust unlike the genuine ones
#the colours are wrong (dante red isnt dante red more like lipstick red)
#the plastic outer is even thinner then normal and feels mega cheap
#the fitting of the case is really really bad
They are basically the worst fakes i have ever seen and they are selling these cheap nasty fakes by using the branding of sgp and the quality brand they have built up over the years
i bought mine from the ebay seller http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller
he is very unhelpfull and he says if i want my money back i must post all the cases back to china at my own exspense even though he has rippedme off and sold fakes , yet his auction clearly shows genuine pics of the cases etc
so far i am about £40 out of pocket as i bought a few of them for me and friends , i cant give this crap to my friends , it would b like giving them a kick in the face as a gift
so this is just a little heads up to all those thinking they might try and find a bit of a bargain on sgp cases -- dont bother , they are terrible quality , nothing like sgp cases , just spend the extra moneys and buy a genuine one froma decent seller
i am currently trying to get my money back from the seller and hoping ebay do the decent thing and refund me , ive opened a case against him as i dont see why i should have to pay to return these crap cases when the seller has sold me fakes yet not mentioned anything of the sort in his auction
i will pload pics later at some point today or tomorrow but just wanted to give users a heads up on thsi terrible seller and his crappy fake cases
Negative feedback him and report him to paypal and ebay for selling fakes.
in ebay the most sgp is fake , bad quality
Yeah, this seller is just plain horrible. I've seen other people selling fake SGPs on eBay but at least they have the courtesy to mention that it is a fake that they are selling. This guy is obviously trying to pass of fakes are originals.
Saw a seller from Korea selling some for around 25$ will they be fake too ?
ive ordered an sgp neo hybrid from ebay uk for 10pounds and everything is as you described different packaging no screen protector etc, not sure if the original case supposed to collect dust better than a duster but this one does so i am returning it asap

Korean selllers generally tend to sell legit ones. Its those that cost <$14 that you should be worried about.
I had a wrong label on the box (wrong colour) and the screen protector scratched very easy. Fake? Has anyone some pictures to compare between fake and original?

More details. What case is it? Honestly, don't expect people to help if you can't explain in greater depth. Try going to the doctor's and tell them to heal you by just saying you're sick yet not giving any details.
To the OP
i was looking at the feedback of the seller who seemed to have sold you a fake. seems like he has 98% positive feedback(scary, if this was a reliability stat), and there seem to be alot of happy customers, do you think you were just unfortunate to get a fake or are the others being fooled to think tht the fakes are actually genuine.

if the ebay seller has sold such a horrible fake i doubt the seller has any genuine sgp cases for sale, majority feedback i assume would be from people who arent all that savvy about product and packaging or people who just dont really care aslong as it some what fits and looks nice
that is one of the bad thing of buy on ebay, but remember to check the feedback of the seller, and confirm the quality of the item.
I'm looking at all these Duzign, Amzer, and Boxwave cases on Amazon/ebay and then compare it to all no brand name generic ones on ebay or from HK retailers - they all look identical with the only difference of "Duzign" or "Amzer" or "Boxwave" name stamped on it. The same color selection, the same type of material, even similar prices. So it makes me wonder are these all just cheap Chinese cases from the same source either sold without a name or with a few companies branding it? I mean, I understand HK knock off of taking $50 case, making a copy, and selling at 1/5 of the price. But it wouldn't make any sense to copy a cheap generic-looking design and to sell it at the same price? And their quality is identical, as I see more people posting about getting either original Duzign tpu/plastic case or the same no-brand from ebay/tvc.
It's almost like anybody can buy it in bulk at discount price, and sell it as branded "Vectron" case lol!!!

If you really think about it, it's a smart marketing scheme if it's true. I prefer the Duzign label, much like the Diztronic cases - which are actually nice. As far as that one tough case that I believe seems to be the MIXTURE of all these HK brands - that's another story. I think it's whatever floats people's boats. Some people hate manufacture names on their cases while others think it brings a more expensive look to their case. Also, think of it like the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg. Same exact body design- some slight aesthetic changes. So, the thing about chinese companies is...they copy the shi* out of each other, lol. Or if it's like Toyota Landcruiser and Lexus LX570 - one company owned by the other so same exact model spit out- one more expensive (luxury name) than the other. Duzign or Boxwave more expensive than the knock off ebay version due to the "expensive name."
Oh, without a doubt, it's a brilliant idea to sell generic stuff labeled as "brand name". People think "I'm buying a quality with label on it" lol!!! But the price difference is very small, a few bucks or so. Either way, I'm 100% convinced it's all generic cheap stuff with a few companies (who have nothing to do with it's design or manufacturing) just stamping their name on it, while others selling it as is.

Agreed bro, lol.
If you order any generic case in bulk of 200 or more from the chinese mfg they will brand it anything you want. Just send them the graphics and they will apply them for you. So yes to answer your question they are all the same case with a brand applied for bulk orders. If I wanted I could order 200+ generic cases and have my branding applied and then sell em for a small markup and make even more profit than selling them unbranded since the application of branding costs pennies on the dollar.

Hi,
are there any styleswap cover that cost less than the originals?
Thank you.

I ordered a Rosewood Styleswap on Aliexpress about two weeks ago. Was discounted from 25€ to 18€ so I gave it a shot. Pretty sure it's not legit, but I'd be happy to take some pics once it arrives.
I ordered the same yesterday with a tempered glass protector, has to be worth a shot i guess lol
Just ordered a black apricot cover for 17.49. Rolling my dice here also. I sure hope its real. This would be 10 dollars cheaper than OP and no paying for shipping.

I have been tempted to order the same. Interested in seeing your pictures when it arrives.
Looks like there's a lot of listings on eBay for style swaps for $12-$15.
Some of them say they aren't original and some don't. They all of course just use the stock image.
Tempted to buy one but don't want it to be crap.

I also have a black apricot, kevlar, and rosewood back cover on the way from Aliexpress. In fact it may even be from the same listings as some of you guys here have bought from. They claim it to be original, and I honestly won't be surprised if they are genuine. After all OnePlus is from China. The phone is made in China, the official accessories are made and packed in China. And it is known that you can buy authentic stuff for Chinese brands from Taobao, Aliexpress..etc what not, even if they cost a lot less. The reason why they can afford to sell them so cheap is usually due to over production and cuts in packaging, so don't be surprised if your back cover comes shipped without the retail packaging. But it doesn't matter as long as its authentic.
I have also ordered the Apricot. Looking forward to give reviews

These ones are on eBay. They look okay so be interesting to see how they fit. Out of Hong Kong.

- Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the itemprice or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer responsibility.
- Please check with your country customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
Don't know what your country's customs is like, but you might want to reconsider as the price may very well rise quite a bit. It's also specified that this is not genuine and the cover is made out of PC (polycarbonate). This is a pretty durable type of plastic, but prone to change colour after being exposed to sunlight for too long. It's also more prone to scratches, slippier than other materials and more likely to acquire fingerprints, grease and sweat than other materials.

Thats what literally every seller on ebay and aliexpress says regardless of what they are selling.
What's more important is this portion in the description:
*Brand: OEM
*Condition: Brand New
*Material: PC(special treatment, look and feel almost exactly the same as the original product)
*Color: Bamboo/Black Apricot/Kevlar/Rosewood/Sandstone Black
*Compatible with: OnePlus 2
*An battery back cover, not a case.

Also notice the picture of the phone with the sandstone cover back, the OnePlus logo is not present. Might be photoshopped to remove the logo due to risk of getting taken down however. But at that price it might be worth a shot even if its a replica? Butif the Aliexpress listings turn out to be the real deal, I'd rather buy that instead for 17.49 USD. :victory:

They even say it's not original:
Not Original Product
It's definitely a replica I'd say.

Yeah I knew they weren't genuine but that is in Aussie $ so pretty cheap for US$ and Euros. Yeah no extra taxes coming into Oz for us, not yet anyway they have just changed the law for next year.
I bought this cover from Hong Kong and it is excellent. I was pretty dubious to the quality when I ordered but at that price why not. The fit is perfect and has a great non slip feel very similar to the original back case. I like it as it is nice and light and no extra bulk to the phone. I got the black cover just see what it looked like and very pleasantly surprised. In US$ just over $5.00. Bargin lol

Hello guys!
I want to buy some Nillkin material, my first time trying to buy and i see there is a lot of fake cases and screen protectors around.
I found the original Nillkin website but they don't see to sell from there: http://www.nillkin.com/english/
But also as a second result on google it's giving me this website: http://www.nillkin-case.com/
In this last one they sell through Paypal and they ship to my country, but im suspecting that could be fake website and selling fake Nillkin products.
Anyone ordered already from there ? It's safe or fake ?
Thanks
Got mine from ebay from about 6 USD

Did you make the anti-fake thing to see if its fake or not ?
I just got a reply from Nillkin:
"It's not our site. And not belongs to our direct agents. You can check the anti-fake code on the product package on our official site to make sure it's original or not."

Got my Nillkin TPU nature case from www.mytrendyphone.co.uk
It's definitely an official case, came with the official nillkin retail packaging, and authenticity checked out.
You could check though the UK site, or try www.mytrendyphone.pt

I didn't really paid attention, the packaging it came in was pretty cheap.
I threw out all of it so can't really check. The part itself is well finished and definitely as good or even better quality that some of the Spigen cases I bought. No flashes or sharp edges at the mold part line, very clean cutouts and finish.
It looks genuine, and if it is not it seems to be using the same tooling process and material as the original.

Man that's a nice looking case, wish I saw it before the Incipio, it's cheaper, looks slimmer and just much nicer.
ended up buying from official store on aliexpress http://nillkin.pt.aliexpress.com/store/1614012
was the only official place shipping to my country
well just some quick review, i bought the nature tpu from nillkin on their Aliexpress official store, it cames with a small defect on the front (a small perforation on the plastic seems the plastic mold failed on that spot) and after contacting support they were helpless, after exposing my situation they sent me a "smile" LOL ... i asked them what was that smile about.. and 2 days after they replied again that defects are normal lol chineses...
