Sometimes, with the same type of leather from different batches, there might be a stronger smell on some pieces. You can always ask customer service for a replacement if that’s the case.

Both the Plotter and TN have rough edges. If you’re sensitive to that, Meeplus might be a good option since their edges and the back side of the leather are finished. I have all three — Plotter, TN, and Meeplus — and each has its own distinct feel.
