riker71, I am afraid your T05 is fake. Not only the extra edge on the bottom but also bolder than normal print. It is bad news that fake Tenergy start selling on ebay now. Normally those are new sellers from HK and China, and charge near full price to catch customer off guard. I suggest you ask your seller for refund right away if he is still around. Good luck.
I see you have pics of real Butterfly Roundell in your album so I believe you know what a real Butterfly looks like.

Yes I agree it is fake, thanks for the confirmation though. I am in process of getting a refund from Seller. Seller seems to be co operating and at the moment I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Have to return first which is a pita otherwise would need to do a paypal dispute and get some official documentation. If I dont get a refund I will be sending pics to Butterfly and ebay and see what they do. Shouldnt come to that though. Seller says got from Poland..

My fear about the sites just listed by Janetang is that all you would get there are more convincing fakes.  And the buychina site she listed charges more than Butterfly USA.

I wish I could have read this two weeks ago. I bought four sheets from these guys and the minute I opened the package I knew it was fake. Everything looked good until you touched the sponge. It's amazing how much work they went into cloning this rubber. Great job...except now my credit card is going to hunt you guys down..l.at least I have protection from Citibank.

I really hope ebay can do something to stop those sellers as I can still see many auctions with fake Tenergy around. They are smart not to mark the price down too much so more people will fall into their traps as price is not an indication of telling the truth any more. Those sellers just won't feel bad charging you 10x more than what it is worth. Even if 5 out of 10 found out their tricks and ask for refund they are still making big profit playing their game. Shame! Angry

Now we have another differential mark - the plastic cover of the new Ts has diagonal holographic stamps of Butterfly.

also, even if there was no extra line at the bottom, there are other equally obvious indications it is fake: the letters and rectangle borders are thicker (sign of less-precise molding equipment)
