Hello,
I bought my first "original" leather case from a reseller for almost the same price as the original, but im not even sure if its a genuine leather case. So maybe someone can tell me.

Hello from Buenos Aires, you can check with serial number inserted in the case.
 
Unfortunately, fake. The writing on the inside is much too embossed and “stamped” in vs a genuine Apple leather case.

On an Apple leather case, it’s almost difficult to read the text in the microfiber since it’s so subtly placed on it.

Also, the grain looks like PU Leather and the buttons do not look authentic and aren’t sitting in a subtle “cut” in the leather. Also the mute switch cutout looks sloppy.

This product red SE case was bought directly from Apple just before the SE was released.

Thanks for the replies. I contacted the seller and hope that they will send me an original case soon.

I agree 100%. I have two leather cases and serial number is very hard to read. Also it has to match with serial number in the box.
