More expensive has never automatically meant better quality.

I would amend this to state: More expensive is not automatically better quality, but top quality is almost never cheap. (Not in the world of leather craftsmanship, anyway.)

True. That's why the Sena ZipBook in high gloss leather with true suede interior is an amazing bargain at $20.

Yes and no... I have not seen the Sena ZipBook firsthand yet, but if the type of leather they use is similar to the Sena Folio, then it's not a very high grade of leather to begin with, anyway.

This is a pretty good explanation of the different grades/qualities of leather -- Why Saddleback Leather Is Better - Guide to Buying Leather. The leathers with standout quality are the top-grain and full-grain hides - you'll also see that "genuine leather" sits at about low-to-middle grade, and is commonly refinished/painted to make it look more posh than it actually is.
