Recently I found a really good deal on an R4DS and it just arrived today. However, reading some info here on the site and other places there's apparently fakes floating around... So the question I have is... How can you tell if yours is a fake or not?
Site where purchased:

I've tried comparing it to the R4 DS in this video and they're virtually identical in packaging, appearance, and so on. There's only a few differences I've spotted:
* The included strap and rubber inside the casing are a darker blue. The enclosed ones in mine are turquoise.
* The CD sleeve has a plastic window on it. The enclosed CD sleeve in mine has no window.
* I don't know if this matters or not but the sticker label in mine was on a piece of plastic allowing the user to apply the sticker themselves.
* The R4 supposedly comes equipped with a spring-load for the Micro SD, mine seems to have this feature absent.
* The CD included has the latest R4DS kernel software, not sure if that matters or not...
I've tested the R4DS and the only issue I've seen so far is there seems to be an error or something running Moonshell. Otherwise the Kernel (Which I downloaded directly from the R4DS site.) works flawlessly and I can play NDS roms without trouble. I'm pretty convinced mine's the real deal but I wanted to be sure... Thanks.
EDIT: Should mention that Moonshell DOES run, there's just some kinda error saying it failed to load certain files. But I can still use it regardless.
