Brother got one when he was in HK and he had to fiddle with the hing to loosen it up. Once he did that it was brilliant

Seriously doubt they are genuine. Chinese companies spend a lot of time recreating the packaging to convince you they are genuine.

Well good enough for me, and they were from an english seller (know that doesn't make much difference)

you know it's fake as the (product)red logo only appears on red products from Apple.

however if you like it then it's all good.

I just bought a fake leather one for £5.99 from Amazon, covers the rear, sizes and front when closed. Smart covers don't make sense as the back can still get scratched?

i bought a screen protector from carphone warehouse and it cost me 30 quid its but it comes with a 25year guarantee and i can take a blade to it and tis still fine.

its called a zagg smart cover and its made from the same material they cover the apache helicopter blades in.

My wife got this one from Amazon, it's pretty good, again it has a "genuine" stamp on it, but not entirely sure about that.
But good value for money compared with the Apple one.
