This is not a counterfeit case. It's not a case of the Tab being a "knockoff," like so many imitation Louis Vuitton handbags are. It's a case of Samsung copying Apple's design too closely.

The community design dates to 2004. And while the LG phone does kind of look like an iPhone, it doesn't look like the iPad at all (no even bezel, a row of buttons on the front, not particularly thin, no grid of square icons).
Again, the problem is not that the tab used this or that element that the iPad also used. It's that it used so many of the iPad's elements at once. If the Tab looked like a Nook Color or an Acer Iconia or an Archos 70 tablet...or any number of other tablets, there would be no issue at all.
