About the genuine leather carrying case

• This product is made of genuine leather. Unlike artificial leather, genuine leather may have scratches, wrinkles, or vein marks on the surface. Every case has a unique appearance and color.
• Wrapping the headphone cord around the leather carrying case when storing may leave headphone cord marks as the leather is soft.
• When using cleaner, read the instructions carefully and try it on an inconspicuous part first.
• Do not use any type of solvents such as alcohol or thinner for cleaning.
  Doing so will cause color fading, deformation or degradation which may damage the leather carrying case.
• Moisture such as rain or sweat, or friction may cause discoloration or color migration to your clothes, etc.
• Do not use or store the leather carrying case in a location exposed to direct sunlight (such as in a car), extremely high/low temperatures, high humidity or dust.
• Be careful that your Walkman does not come in contact with the snap button of the leather carrying case when you put the Walkman in or remove it from the case. Otherwise, the Walkman may become scratched.
