I recently purchase an Incipio Z-109 "tan leather flip case" for my Zune. The ad on the website specifically states: "... premium supple leather on the outside..." I was shocked when I received the item and it is NOT leather. There are three main tests you can perform to see if something is leather or not. 1. smell. If it smells like plastic, it's plastic. This thing smells like plastic. Leather has a distinct musty smell to it. 2. scratching. If you use your fingernail and gently scratch smooth leather, it will scratch. Try it on a pair of shoes or a handbag. This Incipio case does not scratch. 3. the underside of leather (the raw side) is a distinct texture. Find a pair of unlined leather shoes and you will see what I'm talking about. This Incipio case does not have that. It has a distinct plastic look to the underside (you'll have to look between the stitching and the elastic on the side of the case to see the underside of what Incipio calls leather. To Incipio's credit, the interior lining IS : "micro-suede" (i.e., fake suede).
This thing is a piece of man-made leather-look material, and it is fraud to call it anything different.Get more detail about Incipio Leather Flip Case for Zune 4/8/16 GB (White).
