How to tell a fake iPad?

I want to find out if an iPad a friend got as gift is not a fake. No serial number. But I have a photo and it doesn't even look like a real iPad. It's design is different. Can I post a photo of it?

I think that white part IS part of the case and NOT the tablet itself!

I think that both the blue bits and white raised surface is part of the entire case for that tablet!

Keeping the screen ultra protected.

All of that needs to come off!

Until all of that comes off, there is no way to tell anything.

I believe that tablet is locked into some sort of rugged, child proof case that needs to be removed in its entirety.

Then send some more images in another reply.

That tablet is being covered up by a full body case.
