Buy directly from Amazon & not a 3rd party seller. That's the only way to be sure it's genuine.

Do you think this is a Knockoff? It does have Kingston's Warrantee of 5 years with all the right info on the package. Definitely marked for international markets. It's made in China, but does have the engraved serial number on the Silver USB End that looks legit. Knock offs usually don't have that. I would have to say it is legit. Some knock offs use possibly stolen packaging, so the extra step of engraving is a good indication this is legit.

I ordered "Shipped and sold by Amazon" and mine is 100% authentic. Be aware of the actual seller and use due diligence.

I am not sure. It does not look like a knock off, however the package does not show any brand. It just have a kit number and some other codes. It does say Designed in New Jersey, USA, and Assembled in China.

Nasser, I do not know for sure but it came to me in the original box so I suspect it is genuine. It works well and feels and sounds like the original I had before this one.

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

I think it is...I don't thin it is a "knock off" if that is what you mean. Hope that helps....

To be honest I just assumed I purchase on original item! How can I tell the difference?

If it is sold and fulfilled by Amazon it is authentic. If it is sold by someone else and only fulfilled by Amazon, you don't know what you are getting. Mine was from Amazon and is authentic, love it!

Mine came as yours as well. I haven´t use it a lot so I´m not sure if it is authentic. Check with the seller.

If you receive exactly what is in the photo, it should be original. I have bought many knock-offs from china, and none of them copy what is printed into the plastic of this one. I find the price to be strangely cheap for originals. That is the only funny thing.

Mine was original and if it was counterfeit they did an amazing job. Works great as always.

I don't know about that, but if have bought this product twice and swear by it. I don't think it's a knockoff, maybe there's just new packaging

No it is not a knockoff.. that's what I was worried about too. It's heavy duty and very well made.

It looks and feels like the real one, although the knock-offs are made so well that I wouldn't swear by it. It's never given me any problems. I'd gamble on one again.
