How to identify an original Apple case vs fake?

Hello! I just bought a second hand Apple silicone case for my Iphone 15 pro max but I am not very sure if it's original or a perfect copy.

The magsafe works perfectly , fits on my phone and the serial number of box and case are exactly the same.

The only issue that made me wonder is that there a line around the case like two pieces are glued.

Thank you.

Sorry, but there is no way anyone here can verify that the second-hand case that you bought is either an Apple original or a third-party case.. Even providing us with pictures would not help.

Unless you are having issues using it, I suggest that you continue to use it. However, if you are suspect that it could be a fake, then your next step would be to return it for a full refund, and then, purchase one either directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller.
