I saw selling on ebay copies of the book cover equal to the original ; It lacks only embossed Samsung logo .

http://www.ebay.it/itm/221940188127...28934099&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&rmvSB=true

because they cost about 10 € , compared with € 40 on amazon but original , I wanted to know if it was appropriate including these fake copies , if the only difference was the lack of the Samsung brand.

someone did try / buy / views these copies of the original book cover ?

I have this one

On alieexpress. My wife has the original and I have this one. I cannot see the difference between the two. Also the number of orders and amount of feedback provides confidence.

Also Aliexpress has a pretty good buyers protection.

edit: the screen protector included is junk, don't use it.

UK of Englandshire
I recently bought the original 8" case from ebay UK, for £15.95 (21 euros) (23.45 USD)

The listing is currently showing as ended. But, maybe contact the seller to check when extra stock will be available.
Or search ebay (whichever country) for EF-BT715PBEGWW
There are still available at around half the price of Samsung's own site.

I bought a fake one on ebay, and it was very easy to scratch. It looked identical to the OEM one with the Samsung logo and "Made in Vietnam" text, but I only needed to drag my fingernail across it to leave a permanent mark. I bought a real one from Best Buy and it is much more durable. I can drag a fingernail across it without leaving any marks. You can definitely tell the difference.

I got an original samsung cover on eBay for $17.99. I'm assuming it's real because the quality is amazing. It was brand new but not in original packaging.

Sent from my SM-T713 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If it's doesn't come with the original package, it's not original, many of these cases from china do offer real good quality, but doesn't mean it's original.

I have the original one in white, i have it about 10 months now, still 98% new, just the corner slightly discolored, won't be using it any more in the next few day, I will be trading my S2 soon, it's showing sign of the weird functionality and sometimes go haywired, although cosmetic looks is like 100%, and I hate going through samsung repair center, they are a pain.:fingers-crossed:

Even the fake one will likely come from the same factory and made of the same materials. Ghost shift production is a real thing.
I agree with this comment, it's how china and many countries make extra money, out of the contract with the large companies.
