Hey Charles,
When a company says they use leather and “exotic animal skins” for a product, it really raises red flags about animal welfare. In the future would you please ask them to say where the skins come from and how th eanimals were treated? Otherwise it’s a creepy case.

Mike, I took a look at the website yesterday because I too was wondering just what “exotic” means. No further info.
I definitely won’t be considering an Orbino case. I’m not a member of PETA or even a vegetarian. In fact, I own a fair number of leather goods. But “exotic” is definitely a line I’m not crossing.

Really guys. Click the pre-order link. Crocodile and Ostrich are the exotic varieties. My question who is buying a $569 “exotic” case to but on a $499 device.
As we say down here in Texas…looks like a $50 saddle on a $20 horse.
