I had this too when I bought an iPad Smart Cover. The price is really the only way you could know it was a knock-off product:

Fortunately I just needed something cheap for a single journey I was making using the company's device, but the fact it says the word Apple, uses their part number & is one of the top-selling items in the category, I can see how many would be fooled.

I read the comments and assumed it to be fake (it very clearly is), but I can imagine most people would not get that far and happily stump up the cash - e.g. those who don't realise that Amazon allows 3rd party sellers.
