Just got this Speck case. I find it odd that the packaging just says "for New iPhone" and doesn't specify WHICH iPhone. Does that mean it's fake?

I'm not sure...most specify for which iPhone though so there's a good chance it's fake

That seems strange. Did you buy it from Speck (Fulfilled by Amazon) or via another seller?

Mine was authentic. I called Otterbox and gave them the code inside the case and they verified it is real. Although real, mine didn't last very long. There is a one year warranty in case yours falls apart like mine did.

Not a fake. We got ours and it is the same color as the pic shown here. I would assume this was probably a color discontinued by otterbox and why it doesn't match the color on their website. As far as the Sellers reviews, I had No problems at all with the transaction.

I purchased this case last year and found it was a counterfeit. Yes, it was a "Defender series for Original iPad" and the case that arrived had an Otterbox Box, but the silicone has a seam around it which real ones do not, and the hard case lined with a different, feltlike material, which is also a sign of a counterfeit. Be aware.

It's not a fake....came in same packaging as previous otterbox I got. Works great.

It looks real, with the front cover logo and all, but the size is slightly off and the construction is very poor. The case began to fray within a week of my starting to use it. I was sorry I purchased it, and you will be too. Amazon should not allow sellers to mislead consumers by selling apparent Apple products which are not. Or maybe they were mistakes from an original Apple run, that it would not sell itself and fobbed off to some jobber. Who knows? I also don't know if the seller licensed the Apple logo, but if it did not, Amazon is now fully on notice that it may be abetting trademark infringement. Very disappointed!

hi Monica, I'm here to answer your question: I think the case is based on what kind of iPhone you have, but if I were I would consider talking to the seller, if he or she has the product for your iPhone. Hope this helped!

The one I received had the apple symbol and logo on the metal magnet part that attaches the cover. It looks legit!

The one I ordered from Amazon was not original. It was in the original packaging but it was NOT an actual lifeproof case. My husband and several friends have one and this was a knock-off. I preferred paying $80 at eh AT&T; store than the $55 through Amazon. It is NOT worth trying to save $30.

Sorry, I have no idea how you would tell the difference. I purchased mine on Amazon,and I am extremely satisfied with it. I did not even know counterfeit Speck cases wereout there. Perhaps you should ask someone who feels they have a counterfeit case, ask them how they know.

I believe that it is authentic, it came in Otterbox packaging and everything. The quality is very good! As for my case, it is the real deal.

my phone was new in a sealed iphone box - there were several choices on the seller's site from new/used to used. I chose the one that the detailed description noted that it was in the original box.

I don't think it's real. I bought the legit case at the iPhone store and it felt sturdier and had a different design on the bottom of the case for the ports. See photos I posted.

Mine came directly from Amazon and the packaging and the case seem genuine. A friend bought one in a retail store and they look just alike. Works well, no leaks. Tested thoroughly before loading the phone in it.

Hello, I don't see any difference so I don't know if the seller is misrepresenting this item or not. However, I choose mine because it had the best safety rating. Check out the spigen website- http://www.spigen.com/brands/apple/iphone.html I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello Eric, I would like to know your reason on the emphasis of fake and where you believe the misrepresentation is. They clearly state it is not Apple brand but their own and Apple connectors. I went ahead and provided the appropriate link from Apple but try Google'ing "mfi logo guidelines" and check the Apple website and additionally if you'd like news articles from the 2012 recreation of those due to Kickstarter products. "MFi Logos Promote your electronic accessory with MFi logos. Made for iPod, Made for iPhone, Made for iPad, and AirPlay logos communicate to customers that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod, iPhone, or iPad, and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards." - Source is directly from Apple's website at https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/ Their (iSmooth) use of the logo simply means that they as the developer have tested their product to meet the Apple performance requirements. Additionally the logo does not mean or imply Apple branded but simple means it is compatible with Apple products according to the guidelines for the give accessory. Owning now two of these cables I can say they work well. They are not truly time tested but at the moment are great for the price, especially if using Amazon rewards in which they price is "FREE". Thanks, Sam

No it's not real. I asked that question myself whether they were made in China or the USA and the dealer said they didn't know check out the Otterbox site. Right, give me a break. Sure they are half the price but still you know the dealer knows. I just got mine today and the interior case says made in China, the exterior says made in the USA. The real ones are made in the USA. Also, the screen cover piece of crap. I don't know if the real ones are the same way but everything looks blurry once it's on.
