Jasonbot macrumors 68020 Mar 11, 2011 #3 Leather weighs: 0.945/cm^3 Polyurethane weighs: 0.95 g/cm3 Plastics are generally: 1.15 g/cm^3 Conclusion: for same volume cases leather is lighter. Thats pure leather though. I think leather cases have other materials to stiffen the leather inside which may cause an increase in average density. Last edited: Mar 11, 2011
