Don't buy UAG's METROPOLIS SERIES IPAD AIR 10.9" (4TH GEN, 2020) casing!

Update (5 November 2020)

Day after I contacted UAG customer support, they attended to my request and aware of the issue now. They explained the incident was due to the model has run out of stock (I wonder how wise is that to decide to ship out a flawed one at the first place).

They promised to send a replacement to me once it's back in stock.

TL;DR 

Don't fall into this trap of buying inferior product from UAG! I'm one of the victim, don't be the next one! (Yes, UAG an usually popular rugged casing brand)


How's that happened?

I just got my iPad Air 4 (2020) lately, and hoping to get a rugged casing for it. I was a happy customer who have been happily using UAG rugged casing for my previus iPad mini 5.

I didn't opt for Apple keyboard casing, because this iPad air 2020 still very new, so I'm hoping for better and cheaper version of keyboard casing from other brand.

Let's keep it short, why we MUST NOT buy this Metropolis Series Ipad Air 10.9" casing!

This is the product I've just received yesterday (the same day i received it), so then I posted a negative review (1 star) on their website, but it got removed today. It worth some attentions on the internet so other buyer don't fall into buying their unfinished product.

Yes, I'm truly not happy about this product! Unacceptable!

flawed UAG Metropolis Series Ipad Air 10.9" Casing
On one side of the casing, it looks like someone just simply cut out an opening room for user to access to the Touch ID button. It look more like an inferior product to me! Even if they want to do this, they should make the finishing look smooth or in a cleaner finishing cutting, at least not this ugly!


Looking down from a higher degree. The "cutting" handwork really unacceptable,
who want to own a casing that look like this?

Another top-down look of the part of the casing 
(yes only this part is really unacceptable, and it still costs USD59!)


Look at the stuck out bit, the casing doesn't fit well with my iPad air 4 (2020).



Photos on their website

From their product description webpage, their product picture, the curve edge finishing looks perfect and smooth.





After I did some search around in their website, I found that they actually used an iPad Pro 11" case (2020) and did the ugly handwork on my casing and ship to me.


Now I see they are same model of casing, but the only different here is just that my iPad Air 4 case has part of them cut out for the Touch ID button.



In conclusion, my first UAG casing (iPad mini 5) is flawless, I love the casing so much, that's when UAG earned my trust so much. And then this is my 2nd purchase of this UAG product, I'm truly disappointed by how they decided to treat customer's purchase experience in such manner.

AppleCare+ is not available for Malaysian

I noticed there are confusions in Apple users in Malaysia about the protection plan offer by Apple. As a Malaysian Apple device user, you might have heard about extending or purchasing extra warranty from Apple would gain yourself benefits like cheaper repair fee on broken screen replacement, 1on1 exchange on accidental mishandling, unfortunate loss or stolen by theft... You might have event watched videos like on youtube about user can benefit from theft and loss coverage . Nope! It's different in Malaysia! Yes, such benefit is only available in countries like Singapore, Japan, UK or US... but unluckily, Malaysian don't have such opportunity to access to such good deal. I have a friend confused with the Protection Plan he purchased earlier. He extended his warranty with AppleCare Protection Plan while believing his Macbook got cover from accidental drop, stolen cases or anything that isn't manufacturing defect. He is wrong! In Malaysia, Apple doesn't sell

Panasonic water purifier - PJ-37MRF & filter (P-31MJRC)

I've been using this water filter for nearly 5 years, and still using it without any problem. I'm still the kind of consumer who believe cooked water is the best type of drinking water. As I've been inform by many, cooked water retain nutrient that RO water filtration system doesn't. This simple water filter PJ-37MRF has been doing good job serving me for years. My experience with it is still pleasant, no need electricity, no messy setup, no issue replacing the catridge. My water supply frequently has strange chemical smell (I have no idea how to identify what material causing the smell) out from the tap water, this water filter has no problem removing the smell.  Early this year, water supply pipe burst at my neighbour house. Water pipe repair work has caused dirty water flew into my kitchen tap water. I took the chance to compare, and this time I witnessed the magic in person what's this PJ-37MRF does to my water. My kitchen sink has 2 water taps, one without any
