Smart Cover - Polyurethane vs Leather

[MacBH928]

They have one less panel to accommodate the smaller bezel on the Air.

How about the difference between Polyurethane and Leather? is that still the same? mostly same thing but the leather looks better ?

There aren't leather Smart Covers for the Air. If you want leather you have to get the Smart Case.

There are several leather smart covers for the Air. I have a red one.

Where are you getting your leather Smart covers? I don't see them for the Air through Apple.

I have one of each. As mentioned early in the thread, they are closer in real life than you might think. The leather is really thin (but nice) but not "obviously" leather like Vaja or something. The nice thing about the poly is that you can actually clean it without problems.

I was talking about the Apple ones specifically.

Huh. Okay, forgive me. I thought mine was leather. Guess it's not. It feels like my last one did. Sorry! I guess I'll be less paranoid about getting it dirty now.

Go for it and never worry again about greasy fingers. ##

Just kidding.

Both really have their own advantages and disadvantages. Polyurethane is cheaper, easier to clean, wears quicker and doesn't look, smell and feel as good as leather.

Leather is more expensive but is much more luxurious. It is more durable so will last longer if you maintain it well. However it is easier to get dirty and therefore ruin.

If you don't mind spending extra and are willing to look after it then get a leather one or even a more expensive one like vaja. However if you aren't into luxury or want something that is easy to clean and will last a few years then go for the polyurethane.
