Can anyone help w/ whether or not this is actually genuine leather? ie, does the box/packaging say anything about specific materials? smell?

Feels good but don't think real leather. No smell at all and I love it. Also get lots of compliments.

Def not real leather. It's a plasticky shiny material. It's quite stiff too. The packaging doesn't say for sure what it is. And there is no smell.

It smells just the tiniest bit like leather, which is funny since I'm fairly certain it's not real leather. But I've had it out of its original packaging a few months now. I don't remember noticing any oder when I first opened it though.

It looks like leather, and even smells like leather, but could be some type of composite. For the price, I would assume it is a composite. It's a very attractive case, but I don't know any way to tell if it is genuine leather.

It says "leatherette" and I am inclined to agree. It is much nicer than vinyl, and has the general look of leather, but I'm pretty sure it is not genuine leather. I actually find it preferable to leather for its purpose.

Dear, it is real leather, honestly for cost control we cannot use leather with the same as an 'Hermes'. BUT IT IS REAL, and with great durability. If you gonna get one, please leave us a comment after you receive the product and check the leather quality, and we will be very grateful, thanks!Gary

It is PU leather. Not genuine leather, but the underside is leather, outer coated in a supple plastic. Google it.

Mine is "fake leather". But looks good and not the shinny one. Very durable and for sure will last a long time.hope this helps...

It's a very good quality of "not real leather" if it's not real. It looks and feel real to me. And, for the price....

I think it's real leather but not sure. It's really nice. Only thing is it gets scratched easily.

It looks and feels like leather, but, I do not think that it is. And, there is no mention that it is so, on the box. But, it has held up well, and, we are happy with it.

It is not real leather. That said, the material is plenty durable, has a good feel to it, and doesn't require the regular maintenance that actual leather needs. I've had no complaints thus far.

No it is not real leather. It is actually made of plastic, as I'd call it. This is what anyone would expect for the price.

Mine is real leather. If they changed it, then it was after I got mine about 8 months ago. Don't know if that helps.

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.

Leather is genuine, but as for the sketchbook, I am unsure. We journal in ours and is about the size of a smaller book or Bible.

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