how do you tell the difference between the real thing and a fake?

There is a MOPHIE insignia on the bottom of the case. In addition, you can tell from how long the battery is powered on your iPhone. The imitation ones will not provide more than a 50% charge.

Good question. This one, that I ordered from Amazon came in Mophie packaging and appears to be authentic, and I can get a full charge from my Mophie with power left over. But I have read reviews on other Mophie products where people claimed what they received was not a real Mophie. I guess the only way to be sure is to order directly from Mophie. If you get a "knockoff" from Amazon, I'm guessing you can return it. Make sure the things you order from Amazon are returnable.

Sorry, can't help you. I've always bought directly from Mophie. I did notice other posts regarding your topic prior to my writing my review.

It is easy as I order directly from amazon and make sure that amazon is the seller not one of there other sellers. Anything yOu buy from and sold buy amazon is usually the best way to assure yourself of the real deal

The only sure-fire way is to call Mophie customer service and read them the product serial number. They will be able to tell if it is one of theirs. I bought on a steep discount from Amazon, the product looked like the real thing and the packaging looked like the real thing, but to be sure, I called the manufacturer. Sure enough, it was a fake. Amazon took it back no questions asked.

I am not sure, but I was one of the people that was sent a knock-off. Mophie verified that it was a fake. I called Amazon Customer Service. BAM!!! Fixed the problem in under 5 minutes!! Super great customer service in EVERY WAY. This is why I buy everything I can from Amazon.com. You can't go wrong with this company. :)

Difference is great. The cheaper ones are Chinese fake, but expensive ones are genuine

I don't know the answer to that! I can only confirm that the knife I own is the real deal. It's not a pair of Ray Ban where you can look for markings and hidden serial numbers. If you think it's a fake, send it back

That's a valid question, but I don't know how you can be sure its authentic. Except, I've never had Amazon ship me anything but the authentic item. I bought this and it certainly seems to be real.

They are genuine IF you buy directly from Amazon and not through third-party sellers. Some sellers are legit but most are not. Also, if for any reason you think that you received a counterfeit from Amazon (which is rare) you can just simply return them.

To be really honest, I cant tell if its authentic or not. To me looks authentic!

I wrote a review on this saying that I have gotten fake ones in the past but this one (based on the way it looks up close, what it costs, and its performance) seems to be the real thing. I recommend it, unless you want to be cheap and then regret it. (And this is coming from a cheap person, trust me.)

i wouldn't know, but they work pretty great!! i'm not sure what the real or knock off looks like

If it's a fake, they did a real good job! As best I can tell it's the real deal, and well worth the price. I really like mine.

This is Authentic from Amazon I never had a problem with things being fake here on Amazon. The one on ebay is FAKE! DON'T PURCHASE IT AT ALL.

No they are not real! Pretty good fakes though. Some of them are great but a few were trash.

I think they're fake because I found my originals. They don't sound the same.

As previously stated, the ones in the photos are the real ones, the ones that I received today (2/15/14) are the fakes: black stitching on the cuffs, no label inside the cuffs, and no warranty card. I should have known better at this price! These do have a box (which is fake too- and are inside plastic). There is a video at one of the other Ove Glove order sites. I don't know why there are different sites for this but the ones you will order here are fake.

I bought mine from Amazon and it is a "real" one. I have heard of people getting fakes, but I haven't had any issue with anything I have ever bought from Amazon.

Hi MarilynR, you never can be sure, but when you buy it over Amazon it's Amazon who sells it. So if you need to return it, you can. Also so far I've never received anything fake or at least I haven't found out. Cheers Alex

I bought mine a year or so ago and looks like the real thing to me. I'm completely happy with my purchase. Good luck with your decision.

A real card has a darker blue color to the backside whereas a fake will have a distinct light blue compared to legit cards. Also the holofoil on this particular card has a prism effect to it that cannot be recreated by a fake card producer. Check for any misspellings in words and print, plus spacing and font are easily depictBle versus other legit cards. Finally, if a card's print can be rubbed off of a holofoil with a coin then it's fake.
