Its an adult trapper keeper.

Kinda weird IMO, but i'm all for companies trying out new designs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess they can count out vegans and vegetarians for this model.

On an upside is probably won't scratch as much as plastic or metal cases. I'm not sure that I'd want to have to bring out my shoe shine kit to polish it though.

@Velocityg4 It's probably faux leather..

Nope. It’s full on, real leather.

Possibly use furniture leather wipes?

First thing that came to my head was some crazy killer making a version of this out of human skin for leather. Hanibal Lecter, meet your laptop.

Hang-the-nine, they didn't specify what type of leather it was in the first place. Brings new meaning to getting a new "skin" for your laptop. Tis the season, right?

Honestly, I kinda like it. I already have a leather (faux) jacket/keyboard for my tablet and this seems like an enhanced version of that. The battery life, if real, is more than substantial enough for me. The size and weight and the OS could be deal breakers for me.

About time that they used a decent material to cover things. Some folks just demand quality materials.
