Is this the same product advertised on Apple's website for 49.95?

I don't know. Do you have a link? Most likely it is, since Apple sells these cases at their retail stores.

I've just received mine and it certainly looks like it, comparing it to a non-leather one I originally bought with my iPad2. However, don't be surprised if it doesn't come in a OEM box. Mine just came in a sealed plastic bag. for the price, I'm certainly not complaining.

I believe so but I can't swear by it. It has the Apple symbol on the back. Looks pretty official. It is a replacement and works very well.

Nothing about the packaging or anything on the screen itself mentioned it but there is absolutely no difference between a genuine apple screen and the one I received. I was actually shocked because the screen this one replaced was a knock off and it looked bad. Had a yellow hue too it. This one is a match. Super happy with it.

Yes. But beware of knockoffs. Some of the "Apple" products sold by independent vendors here on Amazon are not the genuine article. Buyer beware!

I think Apple announced that "deal" on iLife just after I purchased this. BTW...I'm not sure that the "deal" is free. I just looked at apple.com and it looks like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are $20 each...not expensive, but not free. So not sure about that announcement. Doesn't seem to be in effect currently.

It is not. It is an aftermarket item designed to be a functional replacement of the official Apple part.

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

I purchased this product for my i pad mini from this seller, and I can verify that it is not a counterfeit. I took my i pad to the apple store for tec help and the apple genius couldn't believe that I got a "real lifeproof case for that price". I had to show her my receipt.

It is not. Mine wasn't at least. You would be best ordering from the actual Apple website. They have a factory unlocked option

It's actually Apple.. I love these personally.Sold by a third party, obviously as the listing states, but is an Apple product.

The one I bought it was exactly the apple one and it does have the trade mark of apple. If the ad does not say apple then it is not. The one I bought was sold by amazon from apple.
