Try to search from AliExpress, otherwise just buy from Apple store with Belkin stuff.

Anyone knows if any retail brick and mortar shops sell the Anker, Belkin and Xiaomi products (cables & power adapter) mentioned above?

Also, anyone knows where to buy a USB-A to USB-C cable, that is at least USB 3.0 in speed (5Gbps)?

Need this type of cable to transfer large files from MacBook Pro 2013 to current iPad Pro.

Thanks.

I think it’s only reasonable. If every one does that, imagine the chaos. What are they going to do with all the returned sets. I hate to pay but objectively, I support the charging.

Only applies to iPhone and iPad in Asia mostly due to reseller. Any other products you are able to return. You can do that in the US and UK for all iPhone and iPads all thanks to the regulation there.

I am glad that there is a charge. Can’t imagine everyone starts buying n returning.

iPhone understandable but if Apple Watch able to return without restocking fee, then iPad should apply as well since Apple Watch is way more personel.

ye, otherwise prone to abuse..

while waiting for a protective case for the 12.9 (ala UAG or Supcase), i found the following cheap bag at the army store. fits the 12.9 and I guess the 12in macbook as well (or another ipad)

It’s so sad that reseller over here make it such that there is restocking fee when returning iPhone and iPad. Now we cannot buy 2 sizes to try it out and return the one you don’t desire.

Does this refer to only the resellers? How about the main Orchard Store?

Haha 😂
After used or tired to become a refurbished set.
That is lost money for any smaller electronics shop.
Unlike US they have 3 months return policy.
But in US still cheaper than SG.

It's Apple Singapore policy I am taking about. So only apply to online and Apple Orchard Physical Store.

SPECK case looks good with pencil slot but does not allow pencil charging.

Apple Store staff recommended this case when I collected my iPad Pro last week. Seems like the first case to full cover all the sides when closed including the Apple Pencil.

Review (in Japanese):

the case same weight as the smart keyboard folio
wonder if the flip will snap to the back like the folio

i'm using the folio and really love the simple design. remove and putting the pencil back is so "snappy". lol
can remove the case easily when i dont need it.

might get the keyboard folio. allows me to switch around when i need to use keyboard

From the video, it seems like the front cover won’t magnetized to the back. Not sure if the Apple Pencil flap is the one that will lock the front cover to the back. Need more review to confirm.

Same weight as Smart Folio keyboard ahh. Heavy af. Better off with Apple Smart Folio.

yes

Folio - 173g
smart keyboard - 295g
OtterBox - 299g

guess the side protection add on to the weight.
