I noticed some listing stated 'genuine leather' and other listing stated 'leather'. The price for 'genuine leather' is 100% more expensive than listing stated 'leather'. Does any know if there is quality difference between 'genuine leather' & 'leather'? is 'leather' onefake / artifical leather?

See below for examples:

Leather is leather whether it's listed as genuine or not. Pleather is the fake leather. I wouldn't be too concerned, but it does concern you, you're only talking about $38 vs $20. Just be prepared to wait several weeks to get it. I think they list these on eBay as well. Look over there, but probably will take just as long.

Still looks 1/2 reasonable. Im guessing yours has the thicker white 2 side tape, not the clear thin tape?
