PETA reminded me of going out and picking up some genuine leather cases for my phone, and a new wallet while I'm at it.

Well, it was a good PR stunt by Apple, as well as a mouthful of fresh air for small companies which can sell leather accessories for iPhones or iPads without any competition from Cupertino. Sure, leather laptop bags or backpacks for MacBooks don't sound bad, either. Most likely the market for this kind of accessories was getting smaller for them, so they took advantage of it.
