I find it amazing, ABSOLUTELY amazing that so many people are complaining because it isn't REAL leather....Does anyone with a brain, actually think that they are going to get a cover like this for $30, and it is actually going to be REAL leather.The main difference between the quality FAKE leather and real leather is the wear factor.....If you have a nice leather case, and you take care of it, it will last a lifetime....Fake leather-not so  much....And for $30, if it lasts you a year, thats a cup of large coffee a MONTH at Starbucks....Get a life for goodness sake.The workmanship looks pretty good, and the stitching was perfect....Got this item for my IPad 4, and it fits perfectly....The magnetic tabs hold the case closed....The "stand" holds it open....And it looks decent......And if it does gets scratched, or thrashed, it's a small investment. 

Question: How is the case?
Answer: the case closed
