Buying a screen protector for your DS/Lite, read this first!!!! I have
just been made aware that there are many instances of FAKE Hori screen
protectors being sold on ebay. Hori brand screen protectors are
considered one of the best brands of screen protectors for the DS and
DS lite systems, so I know a lot of you are on ebay buying the screen
protectors since Ebgames and Gamestop no longer carries them and they
are expensive from most online import retailers.
Here are the differences between the fake and real screen protectors:
- Protectors scratch very easily and have a brownish tint to them compared to real hori screen protectors
- Blurry/slightly faded artwork on the package
- Text on the bag or resealable bag containing the protectors, the real hori bag is not resealable and there should be no text on bag either.
- Design on the microfiber cloth in the package, the real hori cloths do not have a design or text on them and are of better quality than the fake ones.
- Engrish writing or writing with heavy grammatical errors on the pull off tabs, this should not be present.
Unfortunately there is not much more information known about this, so please do not send me questions asking me if your screen protector is real or fake, or if an auction is selling fake or real screen protectors, but do BEWARE when purchasing screen protectors for your DS/Lite on ebay!!!
