Has anyone owned this cover more than 6 months now? If so, how has it performed at this time (leather stretched, poor protection, etc.)?

I purchased mine in February but it's really performing well. I bought 2 at the time to test them and am actually using the inner case of the Spigen NeoHybrid with my leather case. I get extra protection in case I drop my phone.

The faux leather can be easily scratched by your fingernail, and it warped out of shape in less than a month. The corners start to flap off the phone. Eventually the case just wouldn't stay on. I'd go with a distronic case if you want a slim case.

No, only 2 months here, but it seems pretty rigid and not stretching when laying in the sun on my car dashboard...

It's not bad. The biggest annoyance for me was that the rubber made my fingers transfer less easily from one key to another. I had to adjust to typing by lifting my fingers higher than before. But overall, it's a pretty good cover. However, I should also mention that I've had it for less than a year, and the plastic cover over the whole laptop has already chipped in several places, badly enough that we can't use the bottom cover anymore. So overall, I wouldn't really recommend the product.

I don't have that problem. It's definitely a tight fit, but if it were looser I'd be afraid of it slipping off like other cases I've tried. I've had mine about 18 months (approx) and it's been great. It now has a few very light scratches on it, but better it scratched my case than my Mac. Just bought a MacBook for my fianc and ordered the same cover for her and hers fit perfectly as well. I guess anyone could get one that wasn't manufactured perfectly but I'm two for two good ones. Hope this helps.

The cover started to peel around the corner of the flap. This is after approximately 6 month use.

I was about to post this question as well. I was hoping it would get a reply by now, but apparently it hasn't. Did you get this cover still?

Hello Gerald! I'm not skilled on types of leather. Its embossed on both sides, not so smooth, the boards prevent the cover touching the screen directly and the inner part of the cover is not embossed, getting smoother. The quality is good for the price, and protect the tab very well, after placing the Tab on it I quit using the plastic protective skin on the touchscreen. Hope it helps.

The cover pretty much stays closed on its own due to the shaped leather. I haven't had any issues with it flapping open on its own.

I have had mine for six months and it hasn't stretched out yet. Unlike the other cases this one has a plastic backing that holds everything tight.

Hi Eddie, I have mine now for abt 2months, however the little clip on the top cover is not tight enough, hence when opening your MBP, the top cover feels a bit loose.

This is a different cover than I have. It looks more durable. Sorry I wasn't able to help

I agree with Laura's assessment: NOT durable. Mine lasted a couple of months, but dog is not a scratcher. Now I'm having a hard time trying to find someplace where I can buy a replacement cover just to add "insult to injury". :-/

I wish I could help, but I haven't had that problem... it could be the cover itself that may be defective. mine was a refurbish cover and I haven't had problems with mine.

So far so good. I've had it for maybe a year...maybe longer. The color is still dark black and it is a heavy duty cover. Velcro stays in place and I think it looks just fine. It's been through heat and a lot of rain also.

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.

I no longer have this cover. It ripped after less than two months. We have to toss it out and purchase a new one.

Hi terc, don't waste your time & money on this cover. I bought one and it was not worth the trouble. I ended up getting a Velo oversized extra padded saddle for $ 30 and LOVE IT. I ride my bike every day and have NO REGRETS AT ALL about purchasing it.
