Is this real leather or not? When making a purchase decision I normally focus on the critical (low star) reviews, and noticed that over 20 customers did not like the product and were not happy. They said it was a good design but it's not leather, and it's vinyl, not protective, cheap, and complained about false and deceptive description? Can you please explain? Is this real leather? I'm interested in buying but some insight and opinions from customers would be helpful in making a decision. Also did anyone else try this?http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Genuine-Leather-Winner-Tablet/dp/B003ZS0UXG/ref=pd_ys_iyr2 It looks similar and I found it while surfing.

I bought it because it said "leather" and it is NOT leather. Very disappointed that the description of product was incorrect and Amazon allowed this. It will go back.

I was so disappointed when I received this Acase iPad case. It is somewhat flimsy. Some imitation leather looks pretty good, well, not this one ! This case is covered with thin plastic material that reminds me of the plastic on umbrellas. I used it for a day and tossed it. Recently, I found a Gilsson Adjustable iPad case stand that uses much better materials, well padded and great workmanship.

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.

I got scammed, also. Lesson learned: always read the negative reviews before ordering the merchandise.

'Acase leather flip book jacket/folio for ipad. . ' is not leather at all. Not even imitation leather. It's cheap plastic. The company that cells it, CTC, is awful to do business with. They as much as told me I was foolish for believing it was leather since actual leather costs so much more.

No, it is not actual animal hide....but it is a very nice "representation" of leather! I've had mine for about 6 months and, so far, it's holding up very nicely. I'm happy with it. I didn't expect REAL leather for the price. It has a very SNUG fit, BTW. I have a hard time getting my stylus out if my tab is in the case (could be why there is an elastic loop for a stylus on the top of the case...LOL!). Good luck with your decision.

as the previous reviewer said, it's not real leather. it looks like a cross between canvas and leather. it doesn't look bad.

I do not think it is real leather, but it may be. It looks like leather, but does not smell like leather. BTW, the whole case is heavy and defeats the purpose of the iPad being so transportable. I am looking for a new case.

No, it isn't real leather. It's actually a very thin fabric intended to look like leather, and punctures easily. I have actually grown to like this set, however. Just please be advised a freight company delivered the sofas to my home in a semi truck and dropped the furniture off in my yard. They refused to bring them inside, so I had to call a friend for help.

It's genuine leather but I don't recommend this couch, it just doesn't feel like an high enough quality to justify the price I highly recommend you got to your local furniture store and check one of their love seats out, and really know what your buying instead of getting it blindly off the internet like I did.

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.

No, it is not "real" leather. Some distributors are calling it Bicast leather which is described in Wikipedia as " A material made with a split leather backing covered with a layer of polyurethane that is applied to the surface and then embossed. Because it is only used for the backing, the leather portion of this material is generally not visible in finished goods made from Bicast. Bicast was originally made for the apparel industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain, as is the case with most plastic materials." That being said.. I am still quite happy with this purchase. It is holding up well to my grandchildren and my feet are propped up on it every night and the padding always returns to it's original form. The wood is not the highest quality out there but then neither is the price ;). It is perfect to have around the kids and just not worry about..and still look good in a common area.

It is definitely not all real leather. Honestly, I would not recommend this chair - not worth the money. The seat cushion has surface scratches all over it (the black covering of the seat is extremely thin & the tan colored interior shows through the scratches). I haven't had mine long at all and already the pumping mechanism has stopped working. The screw covers on the sides of the arms didn't set right from day one. As for comfort, I would give it a 5/10. Also, I find the chair too warm - once you get too warm there is nowhere for your body heat to escape. I hope this answers your question, and any others you may have.

It feels almost like leather to me. Obviously not real leather but feels and looks like it. Doesnt look cheap though.

I do not think it's real leather but it is very nice. I've had several cases over the life of my Ipad as I am very hard on them and this by far is my favorite one! It's stylish as far as ipad cases go, I feel! Hope this helps in your decision!

I don't think this is real leather. But that doesn't mean it isn't quality. I have been using mine for a couple months. No problems.

I think it's real leather, but not 100% sure. So far it's been pretty durable. Doesn't scratch or peel like bonded leather or vinyl, and we'be been rough on it.

No, it's not real leather but vinyl that looks like leather. I will have to say it is a very good buy for the money. Most comfortable!

That, I don't know. It may be similar to leather, but I don't think it's 'real' leather. I would also assume that the price would be higher if it was leather, so there's that too.

I would definitely say that it is not real leather, but it is of good quality. We use ours every day (up and down all day) and it still looks and feels great. No tears or rips at all and is very comfortable. We are very happy with it. HTH!

It seems to me to be real leather. If its a faux leather it's really good because it looks and feels real. I was skeptical when buying this too because of the price, I thought it would look cheap. Overall opinion, I would buy it again. It is a nice foot stool and at a good price.
