The listing claims this case is leather but the tech details list "patent synthetic leather"... which is it?

I believe it is synthetic, but it felt great you could hardly tell. Hope this helps.

Was never an issue for me, as for it being leather or not I would say it is leather the whole case is very high quality

The specs on the manufacturer website are what you should go by....BUT it IS leather. From Wikipedia: "In general, patent leather begins as a superior grade of fine grain leather that undergoes a process to achieve the glossy look. A member from the Baudry/Boudrie from Brussels Belgium invented patent leather in the late 1700s." This is a PERFECT case for this tablet, and i definitely recommend it. : -)

Patent synthetic leather I believe ....I can't see this being real leather but I could be wrong ...doesn't say on the case

I am pretty sure it is synthetic, given the price. It is of good quality and I expect it to be very durable.

It says it is litchi leather on the site. I don't know what litchi leather is, but I am very happy with my case.

No, it's vinyl. It's a nice case for the price, but I was disappointed it wasn't leather as advertised.

It is some kind of immitation leather (not real leather for sure). I have been using for 5 months, very happy with the product.

It says "leatherette" and I am inclined to agree. It is much nicer than vinyl, and has the general look of leather, but I'm pretty sure it is not genuine leather. I actually find it preferable to leather for its purpose.

Actually the inner layer is not real leather, the outer is real leather. I already cut the case once to punch a few holes for the headset and noticed it is leather outside. I thought it was not leather at all before I cut it. Real leather, just not premium real leather. At least for the black leather one I got.

Frankly, it is a little of both. There is indeed some real leather in it, but it is blended. It feels more on the synthetic side, but does have a blend of some sort. Compared to a premium case though, you can tell the difference. Hope that helps.

The one I received is polycarbonate. It looks like there are listings for a fake leather one as well.

It's synthetic. Quote from the SONY site: "Material : Polyurathane" [sic]I'm not, saying it's junk. It may be a good product, but it is synthetic leather.

I bought it as a gift. I don't know if its leather but it felt like leather not plastic or paper. It's thin it holds your cell phone a credit card and a few dollars. I hope it helps. Ps. He really likes the case.

The case certainly has a leather smell, but since I'm no expert on leathers, I cannot guarantee that it is alligator leather. It is very attractive and durable over the several months that I've used it. The keyboard is terrific. I'm actually typing this reply on it.

The zipper pulls and the logo are (I'm almost completely certain) faux leather.It feels like vinyl.It's been a great case for my laptop... fitting the laptop, cords and mouse.There is not another compartment for cords and mouse, but it is working very well.Also, when I ordered, it was shown with an extra little wallet-like/coin purse. It did not come with that.I really like it overall, and would buy it again.

Not sure about being real leather, but love the case. Have used it for several months and it hasn't yet shown wear. It is a little on the heavy side, but I am happy with it.

It is not real leAther. Might be PU. I do not recommend this case. It's impossible to use the camera with the front part of case hanging. You need to unsnap it each time

It's not leather, it is an artificial leather called Leatherette, it it looks very nice and it feels like good quality.

It's is leather over a hard plastic. Certainly better than spec and has lasted me 3 years. This is my second one. Look at the weight and you'll know exactly how much.
