Anymode's Smart Case has been pulled from Samsung retail stores in Korea, because, well, blatant rip-offs don't get much more blatant than this.
The case is a near carbon copy of Apple's Smart Cover, which oddly enough is a near carbon copy of InCase's Convertible Magazine Jacket, as pointed out by the guys over at TechCrunch. It seems something like this would get noticed before being stocked in Samsung's retail stores, especially amidst the companies legal battle with Apple, but Samsung did release a statement trying to clear up the matter.
As a general practice, Samsung Electronics reviews and approves all accessories produced by partners before they are given the “Designed for Samsung Mobile” mark.
In this case, approval was not given to Anymode for the accessory to feature this official designation. We are working with Anymode to address this oversight and the product has already been removed from the Anymode sales website. The product has not been sold. - Samsung Tomorrow Blog
