Personally I got a product in a sealed package Samsung, Samsung charger is glued label and name brand is molded in relief on the top of the charger, it looks just like an original product that I am not a specialist in against-way! It works perfectly, does not heat up in prolonged use, so very good buy. In fact, if the green LED flashes once and turns off when you plug the charger into the cigarette alllume ... it's normal if your phone is not yet connected, the charger will automatically shut off when the phone is not at the end of the cord;)
