Does the material seem to be durable? I've had several synthetic leather cases that seem to start cracking quickly.

Tina, I bought this for my wife and she loves it. My wife is very picky so I too was concerned before I ordered it. The material is all leather and holding up very well. I decided to go with this more expensive one compared to others and I think the few extra bucks was well worth it. Good luck.

It is absolutely leather. My second one is holding up as well as the first one.

It is very durable. I love mine. I just put it onto the scale and there are 21 pounds of books in it and I use it almost daily. I cannot speak for 30 to 50 pounds because 20 to 25 is what I cart around with me. Heavy leather, sturdy buckles and rings for either a shoulder strap, or what I use, the hand grip. Holds up far better than any leather brief case I've used.

It is a very thin layer, but it is leather. If it is synthetic, it is the best synthetic leather I have every seen. It is a very nice, well constructed case

It's pretty good, in my case at least. I've dropped mine countless times and it has yet to break (until I took it out of the case, dropped it on the ground accidentally, and had it run over with a truck). But yeah, it's a good case.

I have one also. I'm not sure if the leather is real or not but it's a good looking case. I get compliments all the time when I'm carrying it.

It seems pretty durable to me. Although I do carry it in a bookbag with a laptop sleeve as well, so it's pretty well protected. As long as you aren't using it as a weapon or a hammer, it should work pretty well for you.

I don"t think its poor quality. it"s part leather,part canvas. my high school kid uses it hard and heavy everyday. for the price, it"s better than most. lots of compartments for digital devices, books, clothes and lunch. And it looks sharp. I recommend.

I've used this for about 2 months and don't have any damage to leather. We are using a toddler car seat if that matters.

I got it last year or earlier and dropped it a lot. It's still in excellent condition, though,So yes, it is durable.

I've had mine almost 2 years now without any wear on it. I'm sure it depends on how rough you are with them, but my case has been great this whole time.

The way I do it is to keep my finger at the top or bottom so there is just a small crack and I have also folded the closure flap between the front and back. That might cause the leather to crack., though. It does get annoying sometimes though. I still prefer the case to the inconvenience!

No problem. I love this case, its very durable. My 2 year old has dropped my phone a few times and no issues. Only thing I can say bad is don't leave it in the sun or a hot car. Here in Arizona the temps get high. I made the mistake of forgetting my phone in the car. Came out to find the leather wallet sleeve came away from the hard plastic. Some super glue fixed It right up tho. Looks like nothing ever happened. Good luck on your purchase.

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.

I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken yet. I think it is a great case! It is a bit slippery so if you are holding it with your shoulder, it might slip out but its durable. I love it

It's a soft and supple leatherette material that has held up many big feet here in my home. I've only owned it for 3 months but I have not yet seen any cracking, flaking, burst seams nor even scratches.
