I bought 2 for my hubby he loved it but for him he carries his phone in his pocket and that case was just a bit big and uncomfortable. But the backlit keyboard was so cool and it's not a flimsy case. if you are buying it at $12 that's a steal. I paid $20 a piece :/

It works as advertised if that's what your asking about. It does however make the phone much thicker and heavier. In my case it only stayed on the phone a week before we decided its benefits were out weighed by how bulky it made the iPhone.

it is supposed to be a soft case. if you get a hard case, it is a counterfeit.

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.

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.

It sounds like you got a knock off case unless you paid upwards of $650-$700 for your kit. The authentic cases run about $130-$150. Plus you mentioned a sideways lettering. Panasonic wouldn't let that pass. Glad it works for you though.

If you're paying anything less than $35, you can rest assured it's a cheap Chinese knock-off...and you probably don't want it. I have purchased both the cheap ones and the "real" Otterbox branded ones. If you need the protection, pay the extra and get the real deal. If you're simply looking for a cheap cover and don't care if it breaks, go cheap. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure either. I don't remember seeing a $19.99 case when I ordered mine. But I agree with the other folks. I've had it for a few years now and it looks as good as the day I bought it. Soft, supple leather.

Our cases are better than any other case on the market. If you would like to go with an imitation company, you will most likely get what you pay for. Our reviews speak for themselves...thanks again!

Give a proper rating...warn others......maybe send it back for a detective product if u want to go through the trouble...or deal with it and do not make any changes because it may destroy the properties of the case... GL :)

yes. the logo is on the case and on the packaging as well. I've also seen them in stores, obviously at a higher price.

I just went on a live chat with the rep. from MyGearStore and asked the same question. His answer was...nothing. It just happens to be the way Amazon wants it listed. The "hybrid" case is shipped by one vendor and the other is shipped from MyGearStore. One for $44.95 the other for $37.47. He helped me cancell my order for the more expensive one and I placed an order for the $37.47 unit. They are exactly the same...go figure.

I don't know the difference but I don't think so. If you're looking to buy this case go for it it's a great package

Yes however I highly recommend that you don't buy this case. It's a crappie piece of black plastic with a print out of the image you see glued on. The colors are also very faded.

If you look on the side there is multiple sellers for this case, some may be fake but if you buy from the Amazon seller then it's real. Idk about the others...

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.

If you get the case that comes in the retail packaging, yes. This is the non-retail packaging one which is why it is cheaper.
