so how do i get the real one?

You make sure that you order with Amazon as the seller -- not from one of the marketplacve sellers. And Scott should be sure to complain to whoever he ordered his from -- and Amazon. Sellers should not be allowed to list the non-original item under the Motorola listing.

thanks so much i really appreciate the video demo!! your great

great catch, I should've read the reviews or realized the price was to good to be true. My EVOs motherboard melted from this crappy piece.

The price is valid and the unit is legit if you buy from Amazon itself. I paid $3 and change and got real units that work great.

Once again, if you get a phony unit, a) report it to Amazon and b) file an A-to-Z claim against the seller (this assumes that all of the phony units are coming from Marketplace sellers).

The title of this review is totally misleading. As noted in other reviews, one should be careful to order directly from Amazon. Not only do third party sellers sometimes sell knock-offs, but they aren't, on this item, much, if at all, cheaper.

The title of this review should be: "I was foolish and tried to save 10 cents by buying from a third party seller instead of Amazon, and I got burned. Don't be a dope. Listen to the other reviews that explicitly note you should buy directly from Amazon."

It may be more than 10c. If someone has it listed for the same price but with free shipping, and the buyer does not have Amazon Prime and will have to pay for shipping from Amazon, the difference could be much higher. And buyers should not be blamed for buying an item from a 3rd party -- Amazon tells you it is safe. Amazon should be blamed for allowing 3rd party sellers to continue to list something that is not the OEM item that is shown in the listing.

Thank you for the video. Now I know what to look for.

Amazon only tells you that they will stand behind you in a dispute with a third party. They don't exert quality control over third party sales.

The maximum amount one could possibly save buying from a third party, shipping included, might be a couple of bucks.

And the reviews, including the spotlighted one, make a very clear point that you shouldn't trust the third party sellers.

I would think that someone who is going to take the time to make a video complaining they were suckered would have at least taken the time to read a review before buying.

I think this "review" is quite misleading, and that a lot of people are going to be scared into thinking Amazon is selling fakes, when the truth is that the Amazon item is genuine and can be purchased without worry.
