Thanks for this; I had no idea that Genuine Leather wasn't a good thing, but I did have my suspicions as so many products seem to use the designation where the quality doesn't seem to be there.
Will be making sure to look for full-grain leather from now on (ironically, I thought that "Genuine" designation was better).

I think those articles, and his Reddit comments [3], are worth a read to get an insight into how leather workers see this.
