Ultraleather?

has any one used ultraleather?
I just got a sample card, it has all the colors that are offered.
I'm a little disappointed each sample is just under 1" square from what they say it should be good stuff.

Having gone through the leather selection process myself recently, small samples are really hard to tell. I have a whole pile of samples and the 4x6" ones are really nice.

I am not sure I have seen ultraleather myself, but I have not seen a synthetic leather that I like. It really depends what you are looking for. Are you after the feel of a nice leather jacket or baseball glove, or is something like 4th gen OEM seat leather good enough?

Ultimately, I close "supersoft" from these guys. But I like really soft leather. And the pricing is much better than most high end companies. On the other hand Gulf Fabrics only sells nice stuff as far as I can tell.
