These are unheard of on a real one, at least in the US market. See those air bubbles around the D-Pad? The fake has one of those peel-off plastic protective films on the top so it keeps it's showroom shine. On the fake, it protrudes a full millimeter give or take. On a real Wii Remote, Plus or otherwise, the Home button is flush with the controller face. Here is what first tipped me off that I have a knockoff. Also the Wiimote was wrapped in plastic (not pictured). The manual is in Japanese with a 2007 copyright. This is basically what was inside the box. When I first opened it I thought it was pretty sweet to have a Japanese one. I wanted a real one for comparison, which is the black one in all these pictures. I am so fascinated by these knockoffs that I bought a copy of FlingSmash on sale for $30, genuine Wiimote Plus included. For just $15, I am satisfied so far but I cringe at the thought of shady dealers selling these at the full price $40USD. Although they seem to work fine for now, it has become clear that these are cleverly disguised Chinese knockoffs. These are the same size as a regular Wiimote but they come with a built in MotionPlus sensor. I bought two Wii Remotes Plus for only $15 each and free shipping. The other day, I got my ebay order in the mail.
