I purchased this in Jan 2013 but have hardly used it. It has not held up well. The edges have cracked&amp;peeled. It doesn't appear to be leather at all!

You're right, it isn't cowhide leather. It is polyurethane leather or PU leather. The edging may need to be reglued but otherwise it should hold up pretty well and provide good protection for your Ipad.

I have has my chair for about 6 months and have had no problem with the "leather". I use it 5 days a week in my office.

do not know on phone. Does not say if it is leather. i do not think so but it holds up well.

it is a leather like product. It is clean, and smooth fabric, and it looks nice, a great color. But it is not the kind of leather that will age and become soft. Hope this helps.

It is not real leather. That said, the material is plenty durable, has a good feel to it, and doesn't require the regular maintenance that actual leather needs. I've had no complaints thus far.

I am not sure. It doesn't look cheap like most imitation leather items do. I thought it said it was leather when I purchased it. It looks nice, I think you'd be pleased with it.

It certainly seems to be leather to me. I am not an expert but it compares to other leather things I own - the inside & edges look natural (raw - dyed but not polished) and the outside has some subtle unevenness - all of which look like real hide to me.

yes, I do it all the time. Suggest leather conditioner so it doesn't crack along that edge 3yrs from now. I use Lexol.

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

I cannot say that it is not leather...It does not feel like plastic to me. It is not a soft cushy leather - but rather a firm feel. I love the case & for the price it is your best investment!!

Yes, it's great!! This is my second one. My first one was 40 years old - not even "faux" leather - it was cardboard and "lived" all over the world!!

I don't think it's leather, but seems tough and durable. Well made. I'm happy with it so far!

The case appears to be a leather like very soft, flexible plastic (vinyl?) of some kind. I have something smilar on another Grundig and it has held up well for over three years.

I've been using it for three months now and am not very gentle with it. It still looks brand new! :)

I do not believe it is leather, although it looks kind of like it. The material is durable, not just cheap cardboard. I am very happy with my purchase.Good luck!

It feels like leather, but I do believe it is not. In any case this chair is very poorly made. It looks great when new but did not last 6 months before both arms broke. I threw it away after nine months.
