Looking for a Griffin cover for i-pad air and wondering if those on Amazon are real or fake, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced Griffin cover if Amazon aren't trustworthy.
TIA

    Read the Amazon reviews/ questions for the item .

    If you believe that Amazon are not trustworthy why even think of buying from them ??.

    I was going to order from Amazon but some of the reviews said they were sent fakes, others were delighted so just a bit confused, they retail in the shops for around £40 but are being sold on Amazon for £28, obviously I would love to get the real thing cheaper.

    Usually the fakes are for people who dont grasp market place sellers vs Amazon.

    I always prefer items sold by Amazon themselves, much lower chance of fakes, easier returns, plus I've bought too many "new" CDs from marketplace sellers that have arrived sealed but when opened have had fingerprints, scratches, damaged inlays etc. Worth the extra quid or two imo.

    Does it have to be griffin? Belkin, incipio, speck, and spigen all make good cases/covers. I have a Belkin folio for my Mini, was about £25 from John Lewis - I'd imagine the air version would be a little more though

    That would be me then, I get it now, the Amazon covers were dearer than Argos so I've gone for a completely different make as suggested on this thread.
    Thanks Everyone, I'll be back when I need help fitting it:D
