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.

Bicast leather (also known as bi-cast leather, bycast leather or PU leather, sometimes described as split leather) is a material made with a split leather backing covered with a layer of polyurethane (hence the term PU leather) that is applied to the surface and then embossed. - It's a nice little case and an attractive way to carry your camera. It reminds me of my grandfather's fancy (what we would refer to as vintage now) cases for all of his high-end cameras.

My understanding is it mean it is made of split leather with a polyurethane coating for protection.

While the product looks good to me and my wife. The leather part of the material is the backer apparently. This is a fine looking case. It has a real vintage style and look. several people asked us where we got it from and remarked how much they liked the look of it. But, see this link on the wikipedia for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicast_leather

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.

I would agree with the text "Vegan synthetic leather". I'm very happy with my case, it looks and feels very nice. I really had to look it over to decide it is synthetic.

The specs say PU leather. Polyurethane?The formerly mooing ones go for $75.00 or so on ebay.

I believe it's pebbled leather. It is VERY well made. Because it's pebbled it doesn't show fingerprints and the leather is so heavy I don't believe with normal wear and tear it would tear. I don't have the original packaging but I rarely buy synthetic leather. Good lunch with your decision. : )

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.

I'm not sure as to the PU Leather part o the question, however these are nice looking chairs. The ones I ordered are closer to Brown & I believe I also saw them in black in a different listing.

I am not sure what "PU leather" is, but it seems to be of decent quality so far. It does have the smell of leather, and it is holding up pretty well. I do carry my iPad with me most everywhere as I use it constantly...so I am happy with the case so far.

It's definitely not a natural leather so it must be synthetic.. I don't know what "pu" is.It doesn't have any weird smell like some reviews mention on other products.It's water resistant, flexible, but not flimsy. Not like cardboard or immovable but also has rigidity in its construction.Hope that helps

The details on this case state that this made of synthetic leather, so no it is not real leather, but looks and feels like it is.

It is made out of genuine leather. I have a retractable lens cover so the top part of the case does not fit my camera. I use only the bottom part, and it does a great job of protecting the camera.

Some type of faux leather... it looks very nice and it is a very resistant material. I have no complaints!

pu leather is bi-cast leather or split leather made from scrap leather and other fabric. (Faux leather) case for the dragon touch that I bought for my son so far is staying together well. It also folds back to make a stand to watch movies with. Hope I answered yor question.

Not sure what PU stands for but it is "pleather" as in fake leather. Very durable I have noticed.

It's made out of a leather. Not high quality leather, but it's sturdy and well made.

It is not real leAther. Might be PU. I do not recommend this case. It's impossible to use the camera with the front part of case hanging. You need to unsnap it each time
