Review from Sachi M.
3/29/2012 1 Check-in Here
Got a case for Nexus. $10 plus tax.
The left half of the store makes it look like a Wind Mobile dealer, but only because of the poster. No friendly employees. The whole store feels dead.
They had an iPhone that was clearly labeled as "jailbroken! free apps!" Hmm....
We had no problem with our purchase, but feels shady indeed. -

Agreed w/ other post. It's remarkable that after all these years, how does this biz survive; never seen more than 3 shoppers inside. the worker just sits behind the counter.
Never acknowledge or say hi.
It's just a very pretty store to have their phones displayed in fancy showcase in glass. or plastic.
Makes you wonder... -

No. Just no. I came here looking for a mirror screen protector for my iPhone 4S. The lady said that they just ran out and that I can buy a normal screen protector and she'll call me within a week when a new shipment of mirror screen protectors come in. I have no idea what possessed me to agree, but I did, so I paid around $10 for the matte screen protector and she put it on for me (she did a very good job).
A little more than two weeks later, I got a call from Easycell. Didn't she promise me within a week? She did. Whatever. So I went in and brought my iPhone 3GS with a mirror screen protector on it that I got from Hong Kong so that I can make sure the mirror screen protector I'd be getting is the same. I gave the lady my receipt as proof of purchase and she peeled my matte screen protector off and put on a mirror one. Then she handed my phone back to me.
What the hell?!?! The screen protector was a mirror, alright. But when I pressed the home button to light up my screen, the colours were all off on my phone. I could see through the mirror screen protector but then the colours coming from my phone were all distorted and had a green tint to them. I pulled out my iPhone 3GS and compared the two. My old mirror screen protector on my iPhone 3GS is completely transparent and when I'm using that iPhone, all the colours are true and I can see everything clearly. The new mirror screen protector on my iPhone 4S was none of those things.
Frustrated, I showed both phones to the lady and claimed that they were very different. Guess what she said? "I don't see a difference at all." Are you blind?!?! I showed both phones side-by-side to my mom and brother. Both said that there was a clear difference. The new mirror screen protector that the lady gave me made it hard to use my iPhone and actually started giving me a headache just looking at it. It reflected all the wrong lights and colours.
I asked for a refund. She wouldn't give it to me but offered to switch it back to the matte screen protector. I agreed but I was beginning to become angry that she sold me a dud mirror screen protector.
Being unfamiliar with Aberdeen, I asked her if she knew of any other stores that sell iPhone accessories. She said no. I walked three doors down and there were two stores that did. Then I looked down the hall a couple more stores and there was another one. And another one. How can that lady work there and tell me there are no other stores in Aberdeen that sell iPhone accessories?! I know it's not good to assume but given the clear situation, it was pretty evident that she said no so that she wouldn't lose my future (non-existent) business. I was pretty angry and vowed never to go again.
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
Verdict: Come if you want to get ripped off and lied to. Otherwise save yourself from this place.
