Then you have been lucky. Good for you. Counterfeit accessories have
been known to damage devices, cause syncing or charging issues, cause
fires, and so on. Personally, I'm not willing to take that risk.

Typically they use cheaper and inferior building materials, which
results in poor quality and so on, while claiming to be the real thing:
