Sure looks legit. Too bad we can't really assess the quality of the screen from that video.

Engadget covered this. There were two different dummy models that were created by case manufacturers based on rumors that have been floating around. One was essentially a machined aluminum slab whereas the other one was a bit more of an elaborate mock up (the one in the video). They certainly were not functional or even demo iPads from Apple.
