Which Nillkin on ebay?

[TonyGstring]

Think I've read through pretty much every thread and have not seen a clear cut answer or consensus on which seller to buy from. Seems a lot of people mention the $6 one, but that is usually the horseshoe, not the full one that covers the home button. However, I did find a link to one for $6 that appears to be Nillkin, but not sure.

If the one above cant be confirmed or verified, may just get this one which seems to be from the same seller others have purchased from.

Was going to get the iVisor from Moshi, as pretty set on getting their iGlaze Armour case, but they look like they're from the same manufacturer. My iPhone 6 (2nd one, kinda long story) has an ETA ship date of 11/21, so need to order this ASAP as it's likely to come after receiving the phone.

Thoughts?

Just order the cheapest you can find, they're all the same benks and nillkin. The pictures show horseshoe cutout but they came with round cutouts.
I've bought 8 of the benks and nillkin already, they're all round

and the last seller is the cheapest I found and just bought from. I'm still waiting for those to arrive.

All of them shipped very quickly, I received them in about 10 days.

Not sure what brand I purchased on Ebay from china, but it looked like these and was just a flat piece of glass. No border edge between curve and glass.

Are these the same?

 

[kaikai830]

not sure which one you bought but these have the black and white borders like the Moshi.

Do these work with the apple leather or silicone cases?

Thanks for sharing, I just ordered the $6 one as well.

more or less that's the fake one.

What's the difference? They're all just a cheap piece of China glass anyway.

while i generally agree, you'd be surprised at the lengths some of these manufacturers go through to make a clone (and even a clone of a clone). its all bout volume, and if they find a winner that sells good, even if being conservative and assuming (im making this up here so bear with me) they make a 10% profit on $6 = $0.60 per, multiply that by thousands w/o having to change anything in regards to production at the factory and they can milk that train as long as it goes and costs will eventually go down after perfecting the process.

That is assuming those glasses are clones, I suspect that it's all being produced 'OEM' and then sold off to the various companies to be packaged and marketed. Benks and Nillkin did a really great job of creating a 'premium' looking product while the rest of the glass sold are just dumped unglamorously onto the market through various chinese e-commerce fronts.

agreed, benks and nillkin packaging are great but the product itself is another story. The glass themselves break very easily. I've had two that cracked in half just from taking it off .That's why I said it's all the same,cheap China glass. IMO these shouldn't cost anymore than $5.

The "cheap" China Moshi and OP copycats that I received are flat without any border under the edge. Therefore, there is a huge gap under the edge that doesn't rest on the screen.

$6 cheap or $12 cheap?

Until I find the actual products, here are the links. These two are flat pieces of glass. No "molding" under the edges.

2nd one kinda looks like a nillkin, the first one does not. this is why i try to avoid ebay as much as possible. fortunately i didn't cheap out and just paid a few extra bucks for the $12 one from the seller/link in the OP that users posted here. how do you like the backplate glass, besides the the lack of edges?

Both of the glass from these links are not the same as the nillkin or benks. They're mirror glass and have no curved at the egde. They looked and feel a lot cheaper than the benks and nilkins and they're fingerprint magnets especially the back glass.

ya, didn't think much of them and would have never purchased either as one uses pictures of what appears to be a 5s, but didn't want to be a complete dick so gave the poster the benefit of the doubt

I just received the $6 glass protector from the ebay link I posted. It's exactly like the benks and nillkin but with cheaper packaging.
