Having fairly extensive experience with leather goods and leather production processes, the odds are extremely high that the leather is producing whatever smell you notice. Usually such a smell is a result of the chemicals use to tan and/or dye the leather. Likely whoever manufactures the cover for Amazon uses cheap tanning processes and chemicals that produce the smell. Over time they will fade away.
