Tuesday, 17 May 2011 | More dubious guidance

posted at 08:29 AM | ~~trackback~~ | ~~comment~~ [1] | link

Not along ago I got an HTC HD7 phone, for which I wanted a resilient case of some sort. I ended up with a PowerSkin case that is protective and that also includes a battery. Clever idea.

Whilst perusing the box, I noticed the following clarification. Really? Someone is confused about this?

PowerSkin packaging that includes the note '(phone not included)'

More dubious guidance: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
