There maybe leather in there, but it must be drowned under a layer of plastic. Apart from that, very nice little cover (Version "Mulbess - Kobo Aura 6 Zoll Magnetic Case Cover Genuine Leather (Genuine Leather) Tiffany Blue color") that protects the good reading light. This is taken in a plastic shell, the outer cover has Colee leatherette. It was good access to the buttons and connectors, the reading light goes well automatic power has the cover closed. The surface touching the screen is pretty sweet, no rough edges, I think in the long term it will not leave a trace of wear on it. So for the price a very good product. Not 5 star for leather that do not seem truly real, and the finish is not perfect, but for the price, I do not see how to do better.
