Case is "synthetic leather" (whatever that is) and currently can be ordered in either Black, Pink, or Purple.

I purchased this case Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/Folio for Apple iPad Tablet WiFi/3G, Black and it's not leather, it's plastic!! I'm very surprised it's not leather. There are a wide range of reviews but many reviews are inaccurate and misleading. I only bought this case because the Title clearly says it's a Leather case.I feel like I got scammed. To be deceived and tricked to have to pay for leather pricing only to get plastic material and to get tricked. I shouldn't have trusted the reviews on this item- do your own homework.

It looks just like leather. It is very nice. My daughter has hers in the living room, as a nice piece of furniture. It looks just like the picture. She stores all her college books, and her laptops computer in it. She loves hers. Hope this helps.

My case is Brown and black and looks and feels like real leather. I'm not sure if it IS real or not, but I am very pleased with it. It feels as if it will last a long time. I think it is the real deal.

I believe from what I read on Wikipedia pu leather is a very thin slice of real leather that is coated and embossed to look like real leather. A cow hide can be split into 4 layers of leather and pu leather uses one of the middle layers. I find the case to have a pleasant feel but then I haven't dealt with a lot of expensive leather. It doesn't feel like the plastic-y cases you find in discount stores--in my opinion.

ha ha ..not sure, but the case appears to be leather, the strap does not. however, i LOVE it ..and am happy with my purchase. i googled it and here is the response: PU (Poly) Synthetic Leather is a man made material that will represent the look and feel of Genuine Leather but in fact is NOT. This PU material is far less durable, considerably cheaper in cost, and may not last long if used often. This material is extremely pliable and will stretch kind of like a spandex material. It has a more shiny appearance and generally is far less thick than real leather. Grooves similar to your fingerprints are mechanically pressed into the material to give it that REAL look. These grooves are far less defined and are hairlike impressions. This material for the most part is Waterproof and easily cleaned or maintained. For persons on a tight budget this material is the way to go. It's about half the cost of real leather products and will still look awesome in your collection. If your Strict on your Leather policy, this IS NOT the way to go.

It is too big for the device that was purchased. I ma not sure whether the Evecase is in fact genuine leather. However, I require a case to fit my ASUS device

This case is soft leather. In other words, if you hold it at one end with one hand and motion your arm up and down, the leather will fold. Its a nice quality leather, but this case has no inner protection material, that i can locate or as far as i can see, So you'll have to make sure you handle your computer with care.

I just bought black. I love it so far. The case is sturdy and sleek. I don't know whether it will discolor or not.

It is a good question, my father used to be a tanner and he immediately would have known if it was leather or plastic... one of the things he used to do was to smell the material. The material this case is made of doesn't smell at all so I would say it is not made of leather, anyway the quality of the case is really good. Myself I have bought three different cases for my three different camera models. I recommend this product, it may not be made with real leather but the material is good and sturdy enough.

It's not leather. It's a very nice leather type material that's smooth and scratch resistant material with a soft cotton interior that wont scratch the computer

No it is not real leather. It is actually made of plastic, as I'd call it. This is what anyone would expect for the price.

Faux leather, great case though, bought my son a cheaper case for his tablet. This one is far better! Highly recommend!

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.

I really don't know if it's true leather.For me it looks and feels like leather.I guess it would need an expert or a destructive test to be sure; it doesn't seem wise to do any of them.

I believe it is leather, mine has a smooth feel to it and is just a shade lighter than the outside cover. My cover is the brown. I absolutely love it and do not regret my purchase at all. I do want you to note that it is a distressed leather, which makes it look rather old, but I love the look. It fits my iPad perfectly. My husband liked mine so much he got one for his iPad too. His is black, and although I like it, I think the brown shows the distressed look off a little better. I hope all of this info helps!
