I can similarly report that the Pleather one is deteriorating badly while the nylon one is still in fine shape. The nylon case also seems to provide better protection.

My HP48SX's original nylon case is still in fine condition[1] whereas the 50G leather-like case 'only' lasted 15-years before flaking badly. The Samson Cables 523 replacement is 3 years old now and holding up well - no flaking and no signs of wear on the bend of the flap due to opening and closing.
