It's not leather, but it's not too bad imitation. The orange color is more vivid than might suggest the photo and brighter than was the similar coverage of Note 1 (which she imitated much better leather). The hit is nice and the phone does not tend to slide. S-View function is practical: you can really write with a pen "Action Memo" through the plastic window, or using the camera control the MP3 player. Suitable applications and controllable through the window should be more like S-Planner, the clock etc .. There is no doubt that protects the shells of the phone lead, but this coverage provides a minimum service protection to save space too. I do not regret my purchase.
