Besides generally better pricing, what I like about Amazon are the customer reviews. Even with the small possibility of a fake product showing up on Amazon, the suspicion will be expressed by reviewers.
Obviously, with a new model phone and new accessories, there will be fewer reviews on which to rely. (That's just another reason, why I don't order a new phone and accessories as soon as they are released. I like to hear what people both here and on Amazon say about their purchases. Occasionally, early production or quality issues will be reported, that then will get fixed, like the Spigen cases that had holes in the wrong places. )
I trust actual customer experience more than professional reviewers who get their products for free and who spend so little time with a product before having to write about it.
Sure there are a few reviews by people on Amazon, who also get products from the manufacturer via Amazon at substantially reduced prices or for free, but they are required to mention that in their reviews, so you can disregard their reviews, if you wish.
