The eBay case (right) had a film all over it. It wiped off easily, but it looked like it came from a dirty plant.

The Yaesu (left) is much better engineered. On the eBay case (right), the metal strips that run between the contacts are just roughly covered with some plastic tape.

Here is the eBay case on my VX-3R. It is hard to tell in the photo, but there is a gap along the side where it does not fit well. I think the batteries do not sit flush against the base of the case and this keeps it from close snugly.

As usual, once I get the actual Baofeng UV-3R, I will update when I try this case on it.
