I see some low-cost GaG-style grip aids on Amazon. Has anyone seen them in person? How do they compare to CalderPips? On the used market, how do we identify a "real" one vs. these clones?

I'm sure it's great....

Look at the rim on that mouthpiece. Ouch!

ive had both, calderpips has a better build overall, sturdier metal, real leather, no bad smell
amazon ones break after too much bending, fake leather and bad smell
