Is this real carbon ?

No, it's completely fake and it doesn't even hug the phone tightly, (DO NOT BUY)

No it is not, It is a hard rubber like material that looks like carbon. this case is real nice, it's not bulky and has a nice feel in your hand.

I have been using these for well over a year now. They are carbon filters. I'm inclined to say, hey carbon is carbon. Speaking as an Engineer: You can drive yourself nuts with specs. They are very similar to the GE carbon which costs much more $$. On the flip side....I use this as a whole house filter and my drinking water runs through a Reverse Osmosis system. This whole house filter radically extends the filter life of the RO system's filters. Would I drink the water from the output of a single CP5BBS ? No. Should you ? Probably not. That doesn't make it bad. It's merely a major "stage 1" filter. You really should be using a second system for drinking water. That's my 2 cents.

Depends what your looking for I guess. If just wanting carbon gone it's great and non toxic. Need to use something else if you want copper removed though.

I believe it is synthetic, but it felt great you could hardly tell. Hope this helps.

Yes it's real. At least it tastes and looks real. I think it's a good deal.

That is carbon from the filter. It is not abnormal for it to happen, it just usually doesn't.

There is not a lot of carbon in the filter cartridge but it is very fine. I rinsed mine only because I always have done it, buy it is better to rinse away the carbon dust. In other words, it takes seconds, yes.

I am sure Fresh Carbon absorbs some of them but not all of them. It is probably specific to chemistry and it would be best to ask a specialist.

No, it's synthetic. But I must say I'm quite happy with the appearance, function, and quality. I bought two more after receiving the first one.

You wouldn't think it was, with the carbon...but yes, I washed both the foam and the inside filter (the original, not this one since the new one isn't dirty yet). It takes a day or two to dry, that's why I needed a back up.

The title mentions "carbon." The description calls them "charcoal." Isn't charcoal carbon? This is a steal at the quoted price.

Good question and I'm honestly not sure. My guess would be no, because it's not real stone, it's a resin.

I am pretty sure it is synthetic, given the price. It is of good quality and I expect it to be very durable.

I don't know about that. All I know is this product is real. Still working good. We have been using it for a long time by now.

It does nothing....carbon will remove impurities if water or air are FORCED through it....this simply floats around & does nothing.

As far as I can tell. If it's not the it's an extremely convincing fake wood.
