I also think Strether might be employing the wrong word here. A patina by definition requires the passage of time to develop, and unless Amazon has been ageing their leather in vaults for years in preparation for this, the covers do not ship with a patina.
It is NOT a fuzzy cover, no matter what you're seeing on the video. And I know what patina means and this cover, at least mine, has it. And I would guess the patina would increase as the oils from your fingertips become absorbed by the leather.

I don't know whether Amazon has two different kinds of Walnut covers, but I assure you my cover is as I've described.
