Background My local financial institution was running a 'most wanted gadgets' promotion and they had these Mophie Juice Pack Plus (for iPhone 4 / 4S) on sale. This product if purchased from my local authorised resellers would cost USD124. The promotion was selling it for only USD47. I bought 4 pieces and suspected that the products fakes as the quality was not as good as the genuine ones from authorised resellers. I contacted the manufacturer and got confirmation that the ones that I bought were fakes. How to spot the fake I eventually got the genuine product, did a comparison and end up with the following findings. Please note that I cannot confirm that my findings are correct. Do take a look and you be the judge :) (i) Packaging Fake packaging (underneath the flap) is black and you can't see the wordings printed on the box. Genuine packaging fades from black to grey (top to buttom) and you can read the wordings. Fake packaging packs the Juice Pack Plus facing up. Real packaging packs the Juice Pack Plus facing down. (ii) Serial Number tag Fake serial number tags seems to be shabby compared to the real ones. (iii) Inner packaging (back of the box that holds the product) The fine printing on the fake packaging cannot be read. The fine printing on the real packaging is very clear. (iv) Inner packaging (backing with the words Mophie Loves You) The fonts are different. Look out for the E, S, U. See if you can spot the difference. (v) Quality of product Most obvious factor in spotting the fake. The fake product has a huge gap and fitment is not good. ALL buttons on the fake products cannot be pressed. They are like glued to the casing itself. Buttons on the real products can (obviously) be pressed :) There seems to be a difference in the buttons too. :Angry:BEWARE----please check this : FAKE iPhone4 Mophie Juice Pack Plus External Battery Case - YouTube: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGLq-Zb_wz4"]FAKE iPhone4 Mophie Juice Pack Plus External Battery Case - YouTube[/URL] please check this ebay seller: this Chinese Ebay seller id name is: yanxiang1982 :Confused: please check this : FAKE iPhone4 Mophie Juice Pack Plus External Battery Case - YouTube please check this ebay seller: this Chinese Ebay seller id name is: yanxiang1982 How to spot a fake Mophie Juice Pack Plus for iPhone 4 / 4S My personal experience... please check this : FAKE iPhone4 Mophie Juice Pack Plus External Battery Case - YouTube please check this ebay seller: this Chinese Ebay seller id name is: yanxiang1982 [/QUOTE]
