iPad Spigen Tough Armor Ipad Air Case

I can see why SPIGEN didn't make the ipad air case. I have the knockoff one and when you pick it up and hold it sideways, the rubber peels back a bit from the edge. Rubber being a bit too soft.
Not noticeable on the ipad mini because the rubber isn't as long, and thus stiffer.

It just doesn't feel good in your hands. I find the leather folio style are the only real comfortable and protective cases.

NOPE. NOT leather. synthetic leather - aka PLASTIC.

All leather is pvc coated unless otherwise noted. You really thought there would be an untreated leather folio for $10?

I certainly don't expect a good leather folio for $10. My berlin and hamburg certainly weren't.
But I also don't expect to see that junk tossed around in a discussion of leather folios. No one would classify that as a "leather" folio and we've been discussing those cheap folios for months.
It's not my fault you used a synthetic example when the person was clearly challenging that you could get a decent leather folio for $10. Then you throw that plastic junker in the mix . . .
Someone asked for a leather folio for $10 in a thread about knockoff cases-that cost $10. This is no discussion about some uncoated leather hide folios. 90% of all folios called leather are in fact PU leather or bonded leather or bicast leather or coated leather. The case listed is actually PU leather.
If you want a discussion about real leather folios, go start one.
Instead you get off on pissing and moaning, does that fill your void?Someone asked for a leather folio for $10 in a thread about knockoff cases-that cost $10.

No it's cool. I totally didn't realize you were a tanner or leatherworker or whatever.
Also, good use of completely random statistics you completely made up.
And this was a thread about one specific cheap $10 case that you knocked because it wasn't a leather folio. When someone pointed out that such folios are typically more expensive, your reply was a bait-n-switch response to post a link to a cheap case that clearly isn't what most people associate with leather.
How is calling you out on that "pissing and moaning"? You clearly don't get called out on your crap enough. Just deal with being wrong, it won't kill you.
Get over yourself bro. You must be a real joy to be around, snarking it up all the time. Arguing about leather and plastic which you don't seem very knowledgeable in. Way to derail a thread.

Please. There isn't an argument. Someone just never got told they were wrong before. Did you just flip a coin to decide who to support? Did you even follow the back and forth?
There hasn't ANY leather knowledge dropped in this thread, either.
Bro.
I agree that multiple people here have never heard they are wrong...Man...
I read the thread, witch has devolved into a pissing and moaning match about cheap leather cases, which has nothing to do with Spigen knock-offs.
What have you offered in this conversation other than critiquing? You have just perpetuated the derailing of the original thread. Take it some where else.
Back to the OT, not bad for a $10 knock-off. As others have said, the rubber is a bit off compared to real Spigens. Pretty good clone if you ask me. But the design is not comfortable to hold. Sharp edges. I went back to a smart case knock off. Sold it to a member here.
