UPDATE: I am doing this a bit early. I have sent back the offending (broken piece of junk) item; they gave me an RA almost immediately after I put up the original post.

REQUEST: I requested that since they bandied me in to this product instead of a real Nikon accessory that they should allow me to pay the difference and send me the real thing. I haven't heard anything back yet so I'm not feeling great about that chance.

I'll let everyone know how this all turns out.
