Get a free leather case (OFFER EXPIRED)
I got an email today from ectaco saying if I write a positive review on newegg.com about the jetbook lite, they'll send me a free leather case for my jbl.
Makes me doubt every single review on newegg.com. |

How are they going to verify that you actually wrote the review? Don't you think Newegg would want to know about this?

I would love to get a leather case for my JBL, a case made with fine Corinthian leather no doubt. I didnt know that there were cases for the JBL. I like my JBL a lot and would be happy to write a positive review but didnt receive any emails about it. What did your email say specifically?

I've heard about things like this. It's a bad thing. Ectaco should not be doing this.

That doesn't sound good at all.

I received the same offer from SVAT company when I purchased security camera some time ago:
http://www.svat.com/free-gift.php ... 1 year of FREE extended warranty protection for your SVAT security product if you take a moment to post a review! www.samsclub.com www.walmart.com www.amazon.com www.staples.com www.overstock.com As for me I already wrote a good review about jetBook-lite on newegg website but nobody offered me a leather case for it yet |

I was under the impression (from an email recently from Ectaco) that there are not accessories for the JBL.

I am so very positive ECTACO didn't do this. I have a friend working there, so I checked. They don't have cases for JBL, neither do they make such a bad promotion for themselves. @cmbs: what's the email address you got it from?

that really is kind of strange. i think i purchased at least 8 jetBooks and jetBook LITES already and they never offered anything like this to me
lol, i think its just spam, so nothing to get worried about. the reviews on newegg ARE a little dodgy though, i made a post about it a few months ago that all these negative reviews are very similar, one to the other..... In any case, i LOVE my jetBooks and got the whole family them so no complaints here and i think Ectaco is doing a really good job in terms of bringing a great product at an affordable price to the market. |

i actually thought about this after i left my last post and came to the conclusion that i wouldn't mind writing a review for a case.
THINK ABOUT IT - you get a FREE case! jetbook fans already have positive posts on Mobileread here, so if we have an opportunity to re-post what we've already written to NewEgg i have no problem. Plus a case for the jetBook LITE would be sweeeeeettttttttttt!!! lol |

Seems pretty obvious they are buying your positive review. Then again, I take most reviews of devices with a grain of salt. You never know who actually posted the review. Many companies hire people to create a bunch of accounts and post positive reviews.

Thank you, cmbs! I just sent an e-mail to Ectaco and asked if they can send me the leather case for my jetBook-Lite because I posted my review several months ago. I hope to get their reply soon
This e-mail doesn't look like spam.. Do you know somebody who received the same e-mail? |
