Is "premium leather" actually leather or urethane like the rest of the things sold as leather here?

I don't know but it feels good and is high quality. easy to grip and resist scrapes and abrasion well. Ive used mine a lot and it is holding up well

It is leather imitation. That being said it feels nice and seems to be durable and protect well. I've had it for close to 7 months and still looks and holds great (I use the tablet every day).

The one I received is polycarbonate. It looks like there are listings for a fake leather one as well.

Yes, it is some sort of man made leather. The product is worth the price, much better than same priced TB's. Although they can be bothersome to wear for a long period. I hope this helps.

To be honest I'm not quite sure. It looks and feels to be real leather but I think it is synthetic.

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.

The leather is just a normal type, nothing special about it. However, be careful of the legs as they break off fairly easy.

I really don't know if it's true leather.For me it looks and feels like leather.I guess it would need an expert or a destructive test to be sure; it doesn't seem wise to do any of them.

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?).

It's not leather, it is an artificial leather called Leatherette, it it looks very nice and it feels like good quality.

Realfake Leather is makes sense. its fake but I have mine over 2 years and no hint or wear. it still looks like the same since I open it from the box.

It's virtually all genuine leather with some strong plastic reinforcement in corners, etc. This is the second of these I've owned (I ran one over with my car) The first lasted a couple of years and showed little wear. It's very good quality. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It is not real leather as advertised. It is some kind of treated vinyl made in China. I returned mine.

There are some that are "leather"--brown and black... The vinyl ones look and feel like the "leather"... soft and pliable.. We bought one of each... They are nice

People, let's get one thing straight. Calling bonded leather, leather, is like calling a hot dog a filet mignon. Bonded leather is made from real leather scraps, ground up and reconstituted into leather "product". It is only 17% leather, mixed with polyurethane, and on a cotton backer. That being said, it is not as bad a vinyl, but it is IMHO NOT leather!

PU leather is split leather laminated and covered with a polyeurothane coating. This is not "genuine" leather. That would cost 4 tiMes more, this is a nice case I am pleased with. It.

Mine was synthetic leather also. It looks like you have to choose which one you want.
