The bag in the listing looks fine. I've seen similar "not really swingpacks" without serial numbers in the past.

I can't read the creed or tell whether it's a T for the third letter but I think it's odd looking due to poor photography.

That is a T in the word detail, however someone told me that the C's are not lined up properly and therefore it is fake.

I went back to look at the listing. What do you mean by the Cs not being lined up properly? There are some patterns that, due to the nature of the pattern (i.e. optic signature), they don't align or match, but this bag is a traditional signature pattern and is perfectly centered and aligned as it should be on this item.

On my brown one the c's on the front where it is sewn are perfectly matched. On the black one they do not match. I am soooo glad to hear that...It does have a good "feel" to it. On my brown one with that same pattern the c's on the front where it is sewn down the middle are perfectly matched. On the black one they do not match...so I believed her.

Sometimes, depending on the shape and curvature of the bag, it's impossible for a perfect match at the bottoms, sides or corners.

Comment: Note that just because an item does have matched and aligned patterns, though doesn't necessarily mean it's authentic.

However, the bag you've asked about looks absolutely fine.

Item: iPhone 4/4s Coach monogram case
Listing#: 200674758784
Seller: shineonyou1127
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-iPhone-...758784?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb925d080
Comments: Please authenticate. Does Coach even make iphone cases/covers? My first instinct is they don't and this is fake, but if it's real I want one! If fake I'll report.
THANK YOU!

ETA: I just looked closer and the C's are sloppy/not aligned so I'm thinking fake.

We really need to see a clear photo of the creed stamp and serial number. Can you get one from the seller or ask them to post one in the listing?

The style matches a classic Coach style, but like so many others, that style has also been faked. A clear creed photo is always necessary for authentication.

here's the creed photo the seller sent me.

Thank you BB!:smile1: I will report it. Seller has other designer cases that I doubt are authentic also. Do you know if Coach makes iphone cases?

I've never seen those hardshell cases that are specific to iphones. They make multifunction cases that serve as cases for phones, camera, as a wristlet, etc.

In the past, when ipods first came out, Coach made cases for them but because they were specific sizes and shapes, they quickly became obsolete as Apple changed the sizes, shapes and configuration of their products.

As a result, I think Coach backed out of making items that are too product-specific.

Those plastic cases are a dime a dozen on the Chinese websites and come in every fake designer brand made.
