According to many reviewers, the case is NOT LEATHER. The description says it is. Which is it?

It's not leather, but I can't say what it is. It does seem tough tho, I have no issues with it not being leather.

The most credible descriptions of "PU Leather" I found generally describe it as a composite material consisting of a thin leather layer backing coated with polyurethane (PU). You can find good results by Googling for "PU Leather material". Best summary I found is in a wikipedia article on "Bicast Leather". The material is durable and easy to clean.

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!!

I have to agree with everyone else here, it doesn't feel or act like leather. I have used mine for a while now and I don't think leather would have held up as well. There is no fatigue where the bend is, none. Leather would show wear by now. I think I like it more than I would true leather.

PU leather has a paper-thin layer of suede leather covered with a much thicker layer of polyurethane. So it is mostly plastic with a bit of real leather under it providing a bit of extra strength. So the part you touch is indeed plastic.

It does say it is leather in the name of the product, but below in the full description it does say: "It is made of premium synthetic PU leather."

The outside is a plastic material with texture and a little softness to it.

Is anyone gonna answer?? I saw on one review by cnet they said it was leather and then on a review on trustedreviews.com they said it was fake leather. Gurunandan Hebbar, please let us know what customer care says.

Yes it is leather. I bought this for my husband and he was very impressed with it. Good quality

The case itself is leather to the best of my knowledge. It doesn't have the smell of leather. However the texture, grain pattern, and durability is accurate. It is rigid and resists scratching. The interior of the case is soft lined textile.

It is leather imitation. That being said it feels nice and seems to be durable and protect well. I've had it for close to 7 months and still looks and holds great (I use the tablet every day).

It looks like leather, and even smells like leather, but could be some type of composite. For the price, I would assume it is a composite. It's a very attractive case, but I don't know any way to tell if it is genuine leather.

It is leather. It does not snap in. It slides into the leather case, then the flap/cover folds onto the face of the phone. If you like the feel of leather, you will like this case.

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.

It's a faux leather, what I didn't like of this case is actually the fabric inside. It was wrinkled and became unglued within the first month. Hope I was a help to you!

It is a good leather case, not sure what else to tell you. I hope this helps.

The one I bought was not leather but i have had many different synthetic leather cases for things and they hold up well. Mine appears less bulky without the handle on it, and mine has 2 angle positions for landscape ape mode holding. Better? That is subjective and up to you. Either I am sure would be very good.

The inside is lined with imitation suede. It is a lovely case, but it IS imitation leather. Don't take it to the playground. I thoroughly enjoy mine. It has NO wood unless it is under the imitation leather. There is no stitching anywhere that I can notice.

Although the case is not genuine leather, it is a very durable and high quality material. Hope this helps!

The case I purchased was the pink leopard and it feels as if it's a plastic like vinyl. So if you're ok with it not being leather than it's a great case for you.

I am not sure. Think it is synthetic. Not real leather. I really do like it. Great fit for my iPad One.
