Color: Black Synthetic leather. Check, no issues with opening/closing. Pockets: 1 outside, 2 inside. There are two areas of peeling at the very bottom of the back side. Since it's on the inside bottom, it's not very noticeable, I think. Please check photos 5 and 6. This is a used item. There may be oversights, but otherwise, I think it's clean. It will be folded for shipping. If you are at all concerned, please refrain from purchasing.
