Your against buying something from a Chinese backyard factory for your tech which is from a backyard Chinese factory?

Well, technically, there is no guideline of what PU leather is. In furniture making, it's started out being promoted as containing leather and thus feels more like leather than plain PVC materials. You can look it up on Wikipedia among another places.
So your statement that PU leather doesn't contain leather is wrong, and so is mine about it containing leather. Some do, and some don't. Most vendor want to highlight the fact that theirs contain leather if it does, unless they target vegans.
Or a better way of describing people who believe that torturing animals wrong could be Cruelty RefuseniksPU leather was developed to placate the animal rights nuts.
is exactly correctAs long as the leather is strong and protects my iPad then I am happy.
I noticed most of the top iPad covers use pu leather.

From a normal consumer its hard to notice the difference between the really expensive ones. The main idea is that it protects your iPad.
[doublepost=1506728284][/doublepost]Well, in my mind.... I agree, leather is very durable and gets better with age if cared for. BUT HELLO! In this case... which is a FB advertisement , for cute ankle boots.... for over 100.00... well Over..... For a price like that. I wouldn't expect my new boots to be anything other thanPu leather is not questionable
When we talking about pu leather ,for my stand of the view(I am the sales manager of a pu leather factory),here is some issues I may want to discuss with you.
1st,Synthetic leather can be non-toxic.Nowadays our products have passed REACH standards,so it will not hurt people's health.
2nd,for enviromental protection.Leather is widely used in people's normal life,we pick leather shoes,leather bags,leather garments,leather sofa.If all the needs depend on the animals,you really think there are enough cows or sheeps for human to murder?
3nd,about the questionable smell,i have to admitted that is a problem.But we can use new solvent to replace the old one.
Anyway,I think your view is being go to extremes.Synthetic leather make a huge improve about our lifes.And if you really can't stand that you are not using a animal skin for bags,it's your choice.
That's why I bought a Temple case made with none other than WWII vintage genuine dead cow.

I said hey,[p]u..,get offa my cloud
PU (cannot bring myself to say Leather in same sentence)
Let's get one thing straight, man, best be careful.."peoplekind" have used "Dead Cow" for millenia without the need for anything sin-pathetic (ha, didn't know why I joined but I can see now it's gonna be a cool ride!)
Warmth, clothing,handbags etc. even, yes, condoms. Can you imagine using a piece of Bi(By)cast instead? No flexibility, warmth, comfort et al.
Main point is as I'm coming to try & sell a 100% Genuine Leather jacket on eBay, ought there not be restrictions on how/where PU is listed!! As the myriad (yes, gonna complain to eBay) of PU jackets placed for sale by Copious amounts of Far eastern Factories simply swallow up & around, in this case, my Jacket.
I know people simply drag past All those chepo ads until the Real leather ones come into play & PU thin out. Therefore listing mine at an attractive price so as to sell will almost certainly never be seen/ then at the forced higher price, will be looked at but discounted due to it being 'too high a price.' Matter of taste when all's said n' done, But why don't you get Your Own little compartment clearly stating you're a PU sufferer & stop living off the backs of us in reflected glory.
I guess there is a True comparison to be made, way to tell apart..PU is the equivalent of that bygone (if you remember) "Tracing paper for toilet roll In comparison to what is without doubt, Cotton rich rolls!!"
Need Help with Smell Problem
I purchased a computer chair from Walmart (made in China, where else?) and it has a strong annoying smell. I wrote the manufacturer to ask what it's made of and they replied: "Bonded leather as follows - PU Coating: 100% PU; DMI 20%; Color Power 17%.
Can anybody tell me what is DMI and Color Power?
Also, and most critically, any suggestions on how to get rid of the smell? (I placed the chair in the garage for 3 weeks now, with plenty fresh air, and the smell didn't go away. (I think those who claim it goes away after a week have simply got use to it and don't notice it anymore.)
Thanks.
