I'm very happy to be discovered this shop in Spain that sells True Leather cover for Kindle 2:

http://www.pielframa.com/fundas.asp?...oma=es&color=2

Amazon ones is "polipiel" (a direct translation will be: syntheleather), that is a synthetic plastic very similar to true leather (simulating the true leather holes for the animal hair like true ones and with random patterns like true ones).

However, "Piel Frama" is a well known Spanish mfr that only manufactures true leather things, and with a lot of quality, handmade stuff. And expensive.

Please, this is not an advertisement, it is I'm happy to find how traditional manufacturers try to live in this globalized competitive world. And I live in a traditional shoes Spanish manufacturer city and I know what is in the market, and if someone wants a very true leather cover, they can get from Piel Frama.

They are bovine (cow) leather.
