Are these counterfeit?

I don't have reason to believe they are counterfeit. I'd never heard of them until they "popped up" on Amazon when I was looking for something else.

clover wonder clips are great, don't need to use pins as often, strong hold, really holds well,saves time from all that pinning.

I don't know, but I contacted Clover; this is the answer I received to my question about the 4 broken clips that were in my package: If they were purchased on Amazon from a seller not directly from Amazon there's a possibility they were counterfeit. We have been working with the legal department regarding this. Our red wonder clips were replicated. You can make a claim through Amazon for this they are aware of the issue." If Clover wouldn't replace 4 broken clips, there must be a lot of counterfeit clips, or their packaging of the 50 clips in their "difficult to open" box is not ideal, and too many people are receiving broken clips.

I don't think so. At least the ones I got look just like the ones in the fabric stores, and not one of them has broken yet. And, I am ashamed to say, I am pretty hard on my tools. TMG

While I can't say with 100% certainty I can tell you that these are about $25 cheaper on here than those at Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. I also know that the ones I have purchased from Amazon seem to have quite a few that didn't work right out of the box. After only a few weeks I have had about 8% become useless, they no longer hold enough tension to baste a quilt.

I do not believe so they are the same packaging they are nice and smooth plastic they're not cheap feeling in anyway and they do not have snags in the plastic to ruin your fabric. I found them to be first quality. You can find them in other places (Joann's Fabric) for example---for the same price or less when you hit a good sale. I am very happy with them have used the over and over again. Good Luck

The ones I bought in March 2015 from Amazon and RCShoppers are counterfeit although the Amazon listing says they are from Arduino. RCShoppers is not acknowledging their fraud or cooperating with the return process.

When I bought them, the packaging indicated they were new. SCAM. They came without original packaging and looked to be refilled. I would avoid.

Those I received have no QR codes on the boxes. How do I made to check them ? IMO they are fakes.

It depends on the vendor. When I bought a pair from iDeal Xpert, they were fake. But I took a chance and bought again from MyParana, and those were real and new! Over the past several days I haven't seen Amazon itself selling any, but we customers should help each other know who sells the real ones and who doesn't!

Mines were authentic. I always only buy amazon fullfilled orders. If there is a problem money is refunded as soon as product is returned via shipper. Especially when using Prime.

Yes, they are authentic. Doesn't Amazon stand behind the products they sell anyway?

Unless they are counterfeit, yes. Works great esp for those head shots that you want to include background on...

They are not fake. They work, but for a short period of time. For emergency use you need to keep them on a charger.

Hello, Yes they are genuine. You can even call the serial number in to verify or check online.

I believe so. The packaging and all looks entirely authentic. The same pair at Radio Shack would have cost $150, so I am figuring that Amazon's discounted price is about right.

I cannot tell you they are genuine. However, I have carefully compared them to the original today and they are identical in every way. Color, assembly method, materials, stiffness and dimensions all appear the same. There are no markings on the original that sets it apart from these. Hope that helps.

Don't know. These appear to be cheap counterfeits and I will not repurchase.

They are either of the real thing or somebody went through a lot of trouble to make the exact same packaging and to make them function the same. By all appearances and all functionality these look to be the real thing. I was hesitant as well because those older posts worried me. But now after having made this purchase I'm not worried anymore.

Yes, these are genuine. You are right to ask, though... there are reputable stores that have sold fake versions of these (doubtless they were unaware of their lack of authenticity). I bought one from a popular online tech store at the same time I bought this one. The Amazon one was real, the other was not. I've spent the past 3 hours going over the details... there is no doubt about this unit's authenticity. (and it performs much better than the fake!)

They're not fake. I ordered my pink stippling brush from ulta and the same thing happened :) No worries!

I think these may be counterfeit, or if not, certainly refurbs. The two I ordered were scuffed up and the one I tested didn't sound too good on eithe end. I sent them back and ordered a different brand. I agree with an Gordon that Amazon is a very high quality Web retailer, and I don't think they knowingly misrepresented this product. They were great about the return...sent me a pre-paid label and everything.
