Is this case firm / stiff or is it puffy like a leather jacket? I'm trying to decide on this or the BookBook??

It seams to have a stiff core with two pieces of leather around it, and as I did not put it there, I do not know what it is. My guess is a cardboard like substance. Meaning, once you bend it, it will do it again at that same point.

I love the case it's firm but soft it was a little bit puffy but after using it for a few months it's flattened out. It comes with a velvet jacket pouch thing that's nice. I love the smell of the leather too. I hope I've helped you in your decision.

The leather is very soft but the cover is stiff. It feels as if the leather is covering a board.

It's mildly puffy. I am a very texture oriented person, and the extra poof makes it very comfortable to hold.

It is very durable. I love mine. I just put it onto the scale and there are 21 pounds of books in it and I use it almost daily. I cannot speak for 30 to 50 pounds because 20 to 25 is what I cart around with me. Heavy leather, sturdy buckles and rings for either a shoulder strap, or what I use, the hand grip. Holds up far better than any leather brief case I've used.

It's not really soft leather, but I would hardly call it "cheesy" or "hard-bonded." I use mine as a day planner, and it's held up well.

It is rigid. Maybe not quite as rigid as a hardback book, but rigid nonetheless. Perhaps you could fold the two covers back far enough to slip the cover over them? I don't have one with me at the moment, so I can't tell how likely it is that the spine would break if you tried that.

You mean if the back of the bookbag is padded? I guess so? It's not too thick. It's comfortable for me. Very. But that's because I don't try to carry a body worth of weight in there. So if you do that, Idk if this is a bag for you.

It's very sturdy. I have a hard back, thick, heavy book on it currently and it does a beautiful job accommodating it!

There's a company called Oberon that makes absolutely GORGEOUS tooled leather covers but they are not cheap! Right now I have one of the less expensive canvas covers from B&N;, it comes in a variety of colors. It is very sturdy, allows me to open it fully without getting creaky or wanting to shut on me (unlike a real book, lol) and the snappy plastic parts that hold it in place feel extremely secure.

The binding is leather and the pages stitched in, so it is a little stiff. With some encouragement mine almost lays flat but it is new and unused. If broken in some, it may lay completely flat.

It's a true hardcover. While it can be folded back, it's not a completely flat fold and over time the tug may cause the book to pull apart.

The cover is flexible as if there is a thin layer of cardboard within the cover. Hard enough to take notes, but not as hard as a hardcover book. I hope this helps.

Its very stiff, not like a hardcover book. more flexible but still very stiff.

It is padded, not thick but some padding. I am pretty sure the zipper is nylon. I haven't had any problems with this case.

It is quite small but I would say go for it if the measurements work for you. You may be able to fit *A* paperback book but you will not get anything else in there. My Kindle fits in but with no additional room for a cover, etc.

It's a stiff leather. It has grooves in it & will wear really well. It's a case that will last a long time unlike the plastics that crack or fall apart. It has 3 places for ID, liscense, credit card & money . I highly recommend it.

I'm not sure - the covering seems like thin leather (or something similar) - it is stitched to a cloth backing - with some firm structure in between - it is quite comfortable to my hands when I'm reading.

Cover is stiff, but material between front and back allows it to be folded back. Sometimes do this when reading.

i would say it's medium stiff. hard to give an answer but it's not "overstuffed" or "understuffed", you could probably squish it into half it's size but not much more
