In addition to being cheaper, leatherette is much easier to maintain. Just wipe down with wet towel and then dry towel.
Real leather needs to be cleaned AND conditioned with moisturizers regularly in order to prevent cracking. And even with careful maintenance, it will eventually wear down and crack with years of harsh UV exposure and rubbing.
Leatherette will keep looking great!
New leather does smell nice though...
