Contact Apple and see if the serial number was previously registered. Also, see what the expiration date on your warranty is. If it is before the date you received it, this could also show the device had been used before you got it.I was not paying attention to the tape seal as I was quite excited about a new toy. I just checked the tape seal again and it looked a little different from yours. I think I want to give this issue a rest. I have gathered enough info about what to do with it. Thanks all anyway.
