Genuine versus Non-genuine fascias ??????

I need to replace the fascia (cover) on my Nokia 6630. First time I've done it.
I found a load on ebay at great prices, but then noticed that they were not genuine Nokia products.
There's also an ebay shop that gives details of genuine and non-genuine fascias, (colour, fit, etc).
Does anyone have any experience of the difference?? Does it make any difference whether you use genuine or non-genuine??
Obviously there was a big price difference, genuine were twice as much as non.
Cheers

The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.

I bought an unofficial Nokia fascia and it didn't fit correctly so I'd only buy genuine now.0

Non genuine are crap and don't fit well, finish is awful and did I mention they're crap?
Having said that, what is genuine, original etc. I would ask the question from the buyer that, are these third party items or made by Nokia?0 -
just a suggestion, buy a new genuine cover but then get buy a plastic (aka crystal / hard) cover to go on top of that, really good and protects the phone from scratches etc. Got one for my d600 and 6680.ummm...0

the non gen ones dont fit properly most of the time and the finish will probably wear off quicker than genuine ones0

Thanks guys. Taken on board - I'll go for the genuine then.The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.0

I have bought non-genuine Nokia phone covers and they have been ok.
Not as good quality or finish as the real thing but they were ok and for the price you don't expect the same quality, or do you?0
