The cover is not leather, contrary to what the title suggests, but in "synthetic leather", imitated very well, indeed.
However, this kind of material does not necessarily aging very well. I want proof that mine is already slightly damaged when I took it out of the package.
The openings are relatively well placed compared to plugs and connectors, but as the cover moves when you open or all closed, we must sometimes put everything in front to enter the SD card or take a picture.
As for the fact that the cover does not bother, it's true for the closure but not for locking.
Depending on the position (angle) between the tablet and the keyboard, the tablet is simply not lock because of the cover that locks. We must find the right angle and press hard to achieve lock the assembly.
However, I still put 4 star product because these problems are minor and that the qualities of this cover far beyond these flaws, especially at this price point.
Overall an excellent price / quality ratio for this well adapted to the Asus TF700T cover.
