    When looking I also realised that there are quite a few 'non genuine' Griffin Powerjolts on eBay, which have poorer internal construction & fusing. For the sake of a few dollars I'd rather buy genuine to protect my ipad. I'm not suggesting the one you linked to is a fake, but the ones that say they do not come in original packaging almost certainly are.
