Logitech Won’t Support iPad Case Bought From ‘Non Official Vendor’
By 3.27.13
If you’re shopping for something for which you might conceivably need the manufacturer’s warranty, be careful where you buy it. Most people know that buying from unofficial channels like small eBay or Amazon marketplace sellers can void manufacturer’s warranties, but Chris was under the impression that Buy.com (now called Rakuten) was a totally legit and authorized retailer. Logitech disagrees. When his keyboard would no longer hold a charge, he tried to make a warranty claim, only to be told that Buy.com was a “non official vendor” and he was out of luck. [More]

Mike heard those tales of wondrous service from the past, and expected something similar when his replacement remote broke and needed replacing. [More]

Meow Maximus has learned this over the years, as he’s combined computer mice with scroll wheels with long-haired kitties. Normally, he’s been able to open them up for thorough hair removal, but that didn’t work with the latest Logitech gaming mouse he bought. Consumers can’t open it up.
