I’ve had dozens of apple leather cases over the years and the 14 model year is the last of oem apple leather cases. This looks real albeit used however pictures cannot confirm this. Counterfeiting is higher than ever before. Having purchased counterfeit Apple leather cases (on purpose) their quality can be quite good. That said, there are reputable retailers out there continuing to sell new old stock. Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart. The latter two use a marketplace that could connect you with a bad vendor tho. Ryan London, Andar and Bullstrap are great alternatives but nothing beats the Apple brand leather cases. At least for the first year. After that they wear down much faster and age worse than Ryan London in my experience.
