I bought the fake smart cover, actually it's oem or alike model, and pls dont go and buy those china made cheap smart cover, the cover won't hold to your screen strongly and will fall off when you reverse the iPad. So regret right now....
To know whether it is genuine, one of the steps is to check the box cover, for leather one the photo will feature cream color sc while for polyurethane one will feature blue sm. A lot of fake one out there only printed the blue one. So if u are about to buy leather one, if it's not cream sm featured on the box the it's basically fake.
Fake indeed cheap..
