PU Leather is leather. It's just thin with a backing. Is this what this really is?

Probably, yes. It's very thin. I like the case but prefer one with a snap closure.

This product felt more like vinyl to me. I did not like the way it closed. The cover did not line up correctly when you closed it.I recommend the Elsse Premium case for your Kindle. I love it.

I'm not sure - the covering seems like thin leather (or something similar) - it is stitched to a cloth backing - with some firm structure in between - it is quite comfortable to my hands when I'm reading.

The back is more plain. It looks like leather and has small detailing around the edges. I am very impressed by the appearance of this product.

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.

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 guess also would be it is the name brand. The description and the pic.'s of this in no way lead me to believe it had any leather on it. All I can say that it is a GREAT product.

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.

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.

NOT genuine leather...I believe it is a VINYL - combination type: You GET what you PAY for: REAL, 100% GENUINE FULL LEATHER would set you back, financially, 2-3 times $$$$ MORE !!!!

No it is not leather. It is like a soft vinyl top with a flexible plastic bottom.

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?).

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

It is advertised as a leather case and also feels like leather. If it's fake, it's a good quality fake leather.

I believe from what I read on Wikipedia pu leather is a very thin slice of real leather that is coated and embossed to look like real leather. A cow hide can be split into 4 layers of leather and pu leather uses one of the middle layers. I find the case to have a pleasant feel but then I haven't dealt with a lot of expensive leather. It doesn't feel like the plastic-y cases you find in discount stores--in my opinion.

Yes, as noted in review, there is a strap whose elastic band goes through to the cover to allow secure travel. I can't tell absolutely what the material is. I believe it is PU synthetic leather of very decent quality.

I believe it's imitation. I don't see a "Genuine Leather" title anywhere on the product.

I'm really not sure. It seems like real leather and looks very, very nice. I was very impressed.
