This case feels and smells like plastic. Do you think I bought a fake? It is now 4 days out of the package and still smells suspiciously plasticky

Mine certainly smells and feels like leather. If its a "fake," someone did a great job.

I'm not sure what you got. It must be fake because mine smells and feels like fine leather. I love it. If you bought it here on Amazon I would return it.

My case is a few months old now, and I can still smell the leather. The nature of the smell has changed somewhat over this period, but it still is that of leather and definitely not plastic.

I don t think that it is real one, I couldn't use my screen. I returned the case

I still have the packaging, so I can look to see if it has warranty info. Unfortunately though, after receiving mine, I strongly suspect it to be a knockoff:/ I've owned 3 other Otterboxes and this one is obviously a lower quality and upon close comparison to my husbands (which was purchased through Verizon and is definitely real) there are obvious differences both in the case itself and the packaging. I'll look in the morning to see if it has a warranty insert.

it is supposed to be a soft case. if you get a hard case, it is a counterfeit.

I have had the case for a while and dont know what they're talking about. I really like the case, myself. The only comment I found accurate was about the stretching. It seems it's stretched a very tiny bit but hardly noticeable. If I was taking my case on and off everyday maybe it would be annoying...

I purchased this case Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/Folio for Apple iPad Tablet WiFi/3G, Black and it's not leather, it's plastic!! I'm very surprised it's not leather. There are a wide range of reviews but many reviews are inaccurate and misleading. I only bought this case because the Title clearly says it's a Leather case.I feel like I got scammed. To be deceived and tricked to have to pay for leather pricing only to get plastic material and to get tricked. I shouldn't have trusted the reviews on this item- do your own homework.

It smells just like the one in the store that. I do not think it's a fake. It has been on sale in many stores for th holidays. In fact it would have been cheaper at Kohls one day.

It's pretty much a flexible plastic case glued to a fake leather book binding. Quality feel is very high considering the price they are asking. It's not the super squishy gel type - more of a TPU type. The good thing about that is it's not made of a hard plastic that will scratch your phone's outer case. Also, some of these type of cases have a stitching that will scratch the gorilla glass. This one will doesn't. I liked my girlfriend's sister in law's cellto S4 case so I bought one for my note 2, as did my girlfirend for her S5, as did her friend for her s5, and her cousin for her note 2.

It is a decent case. I don't know where it is made. It smells like plastic.

Hey A-Aron - mine has no such odor! I am very sensitive to such things - I think you should exchange it for another pair. It's a great case!

Hi Brianna, that was my primary reason for returning it. The buttons feel like plastic to me which was confusing given the metalized description given. It also didn't make sense to cover the metalized sides with plastic. It's a nice case if you want that but I wanted a more solid feel. Take a look at the Draco Supernova Bumper.

It's fake! The one I ordered broke in 2 days and it did not have otterbox on the clip.

In my honest opinion this is not a fake. I also believe that amazon couldn't legally sell a fake. Flowerbomb smells amazing and the scent lasts for days. This is exactly what this product gives. I'm happy with my purchase and I don't regret it or think I have been ripped off. I believe I got a great sale discount on a normally pretty expensive product. Hope this helps?

I got mine in March and it has completely fallen apart. I looked at the differences between the real and knock off OtterBoxes online and it is for sure fake. Just because it says Otter box on the back doesn't make it authentic. The packaging is slightly different and the case itself is low quality.

The box mine came with looked authentic. My case is great no complaints. My husband loves his too.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.
