There was a large discount (60%) on the saddle brown Apple leather sleeves, at least the saddle brown color, so I ordered one and it arrived last night.

The advertising talks about supple premium European leather- but it just feels almost like fake leather- plastic- and does not smell like leather in the least. I know Apple wouldn't lie about the material this is made from, but it is surprising to me that the smell and feel are so far off from what any other leather products feel/smell like.

I got it from Best Buy, they are an official Apple retailer- so I know I didn't get a knockoff, I think I might just have a different understanding on this material.

Anyone else have these, and if so, what are your impressions?
