Review: Is it leather - I think not!

I read, carefully, the description of this Kindle Leather Cover, before buying to make sure it was leather as my first cover (which also said leather) was a thin red film over foam. Have had the product for 3 weeks now & am not sure what it is made of; but a small area at one corner has already had the 'shine' worn off, revealing what appears to be black fibrous paper. This I blame on AMAZON: unless the product is 100% leather, as in from a cow, pig, goat, sheep or lamb AND not from a dead dinosaur lying under the earth's surface & recently pumped up by Exxon etc., the product should not be labelled leather. Fake leather, imitation leather, PVC leather-grained: all are acceptable, as long as there is no attempt made to fool the consumer into thinking its leather, REAL leather, as in long-wearing, tuff, durable, etc. The cover on this updated design is stiff, not supple & will probably not last as long as my old one.
