Don't know as I haven't received this iPad back cover yet.
The BBB isn't a place I normally go to read reviews of online shops. I usually get my reviews from Yelp or on forums like these. Didn't know they had five complaints in the last three years. Now that I've actually looked at their Yelp reviews, this company is one I would stay away from.
I'm still going to wait to receive what I ordered as I was happy with the previous case I purchased from them.
I did look at Vaja's offerings, but don't see white leather as an option from them.

I didn't have any issues with their iPhone case. It held up just as well as one I bought from Sena cases.
The interior of the case was leather. I'd post a picture up, but I sold that phone and its accessories shortly after I got my 7 Plus.

No 10.5 case and no 12.9 case either for 2nd gen
I've been using first gen case with my gen2 blocking flash since I got it. But still love it

Dead thread revival! I came here to see if there were any better options than the Khomo...
I have the Khomo case on my 10.5 in Midnight Blue. It's not an exact match for Apple's Silicone Smart Cover. It sets my OCD off majorly.
Overall its a pretty decent case, if a little on the thick side (the smart cover doesn't stick in place when folded over backwards as well as it did with my Apple Silicone case on my 9.7). Good cutouts. The Smart Cover lays inside the case's lip, which IMO makes for less of a chance of it sliding around.

To this day I'm still annoyed that Apple discontinued the silicon back covers. They were my favorite kind as far as fit and finish. I tried about 5 different cheap-o Amazon back covers for my 10.5 and hated them all, including the Khomo, but I LOVE my Tech21 back cover that I eventually bought at the Apple Store. It fits perfectly and doesn't let any dust or debris in between the cover and the iPad. It also never gets fingerprints on it, which is pretty amazing.
I've been tempted to get one of the leather sleeves. They're super nice. But I've been able to withstand the temptation so far.

Me too; I am still quite happy with the Apple silicone back cover on my first generation 12.9” iPad Pro. I am hoping to get the iPad Pro X, or whatever it’ll be called, and I am concerned about what back cover, if any, will be offered to complement the Smart Keyboard.
I held off on buying a 10.5 iPad Pro until I could order it with the back case. But that never happened and I guess it's about time.
Is there a third party back case that has the magnetic catch that keeps the Smart Cover in place when it's folded around back? That's been the main differentiating factor between Apple back cases and others that I've looked at.

My Khomo and i-Blaison both allow the Smart Cover to stick to the back. The i-Blaison does it a little better since it's thinner, but I like having my case and cover (almost) match (like they do with the Khomo).
I got the Khomo and it's perfect, both in appearance and in grip feel. I liked it so much that I ended up getting another for an older iPad. It's not leather, which I didn't expect at that price, but the texture they added to the plastic keeps me from caring much about that. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
