The battery comes in a simple plastic bag and not in a cardboard HTC like the pictures, for my part I bought on centralcase shop. It is not known if the battery is not a counterfeit !! I bought this battery to sell my phone hoping to have a nice packing HTC to value my ad and be able to certify that the battery is original new HTC and never opened, with the old plastic bag, I can just say that it is new (and again)
