If it says "I" on it and its brand new, dont bother.
The older Korean models are good models, they are made a little different and look a lot like the fakes, but havent seen a fake one yet.

Unfortunately, I didnt get to one of them until there was only 7 minutes left, but it didnt sell anyway. The others got pulled, and glad to see em go.
