Beware Fake Hori DS Lite Protectors
With all the fake products showing up on eBay, phony Hori screen products should be the last thing one has to worry about. Not so. Hori's Japanese products are so good that they merit their own cheap knock-offs. Congrats to all at Hori!
These fake-o Hori screens scratch very easily, have a slintly brown tint and probably will give you cancer. According to 4CR, here are some things to keep an eye out:
- Blurry package art—The artwork is blurry and slightly faded on the bootleg product. Hori's artwork is crispy like KFC chicken.
- Resealable bag—The bags that house the authentic screen guards aren't resealable, while the phony ones are. The real bags do not have any text on them either.
- Cheap microfiber cloth with a stamped Hori pattern—Hori's straight-edged cloth feels softer and has no design or writing on it.
- White tabs on the corners with Engrish writing—The real deal has centered yellow tabs with only Japanese characters printed on them.
eBay does have some great deals and cool things, but watch out For 100% real Hori products, try Play-Asia or Lik-Sang. And if you don't trust them, there are daily flights to Tokyo Narita leaving from LAX.
