For everyone's knowledge:
I received my Hori DS Lite screen protectors from www.play-asia.com today, and am now fairly sure the ones I got from eBay (chinese seller) are fake. Below are picture comparisons of both I have received.
Be warned!!! The ones from the chinese eBay seller are an inferior product.
The first image shows the two packages side by side. Note they have a slight colour difference.
The second pic is a closeup of the front of the package. Note that the image on the left is much more blurry. That is actually how it looks, it is not a camera error.
Below are the bags the packages came in (the package is just a paper sleeve). The eBay one came in a resealable that can be open and closed many times. The Play-Asia.com one came in a bag that can only be opened once (it looks tampered with after you open it).
Below are the cleaning cloths that come with each. The eBay one feels like the cheap lense cloths you get with any chinese sunglasses case, but it does have "HORI" imprinted in it. The one that came with the Play-Asia.com one feels like a softer material, and has no writing on it.
Finally, here is a pic of the two different screen protectors. Note that the eBay ones have english writing on the tabs. The Play-Asia.com one only has japanese writing, and has yellow stickers on the centre.
Judging from this evidence I believe the eBay one to be a fake. I find this rather frustrating, as the seller can get away with it. Not many people out there are going to buy two screen protectors from different sellers just to compare. I only happened to do so because I bought one for myself two weeks ago, and one for my gf last week.
I am now bringing this to the attention of the eBay seller, and then possibly report it to eBay and attempt to file a Paypal refund.
