Hello, it sure looks and feels like very much real one, but I am not an expert at all, so take my answer with a grain of salt. Michael.

I just got mine and I dont think so. Its nice, seems well made but, leather I dont think so. No smell, doesnt spot with water, mink oil sits on it and doesnt soak in and the edges are way to nice for leather. Not to mention the liner. Its made to look like suede. That would be over kill with real leather. Then there is the price. It would be a Class A knock-off in one of those places. Just my two cents. I'll still keep it. The fit is nice and that is more important.

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

The box states "genuine leather". It doesn't smell like "vegan leather" (which is really just polyurethane over a polyester base) so it probably is real leather, for the most part.

It is some kind of immitation leather (not real leather for sure). I have been using for 5 months, very happy with the product.

I think it is real leather, but not the nice, supple leather. The cover is hard, but when you open it up, the other side is suede (unless that is fake, too?).

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. 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 Bicast was originally made for the apparel industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry.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.

Sorry, I forgot some things, but it is real leather, no doubt about it. Feels like it and smells like it. It is fairly thick.

I think PU Leather is a marketing term for a manufactured product that looks like and is textured to feel like leather (and according to Wikipedia may contain some actual leather). Some of the automotive folks have been using "PU Leather" for their auto seats of late. It smells more like polyurethane than leather to me.

It is Bi-cast leather which is real leather with PU coating for easy maintenance.

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.

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.

Hi Deiby! This case and all of our wallet cases are made of PU or "bicast" leather. You can read about how PU leather is made here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicast_leather Hope that helps! Any other questions, please feel free to ask :) Jessie / The Friendly Swede
