First, I found the Braunton formerly beautiful and secondly, this sleeve looks more like artificial leather as genuine leather. But they dirty much more slowly. So I suspect that Apple has responded to the many complaints that the colored leather cases dark discolor quickly at the edges, and has changed little in the leather coat? For me personally, this "patina" rather liked and also the feel I was better. Nevertheless, this cover is still better than any plastic objects. I would buy again.
