I recently purchased a Trezor Safe 3 from an authorized reseller. I started checking the holographic seal and noticed the alignment of the repeating “SECURITY” text on the seal is slightly different than in the reference photo provided on the Trezor.io website.
On the reference photo (attached below, with my annotations) parts of the letters “T” and “Y” appear in the Lock Icon in the center, but on the device I received the letter “E” appears in the Lock Icon.
I figure this must be normal variation depending on how the tape is printed and cut at the factory, but I wanted to ask to be sure.
In addition to providing an extra layer of protection against physical attacks on your Trezor device, the secure element also plays an important role in verifying the authenticity. More information at Trezor Safe Device Authentication Check
