Don't Waste Your Money
I bought two of these leather center armrest covers (one for each car) from 22elite: they are NOT worth the money.
While the stitching is good, the leather grain does not match the other leather surfaces inside the car, and once installed the cover stays rippled. It seems the latch creates a stress, and the impossibility to tighten the leather around the sides of the armrest are the culprits.
The vendor also offers foam for "added" padding. Don't bother with this. For an additional $5 you get a large piece of foam without any obvious shape for mounting (you get neither instructions nor diagrams). Worse, you will find it totally impossible to mount the leather cover with the padding unless you are an experienced upholsterer. You may even risk tearing the cover seams in the process.
$165 later, now I have a rippled leather armrest, two large pieces of foam, and another leather cover still in its bag. I will have to take all this to a upholsterer for a professional fit and look --for additional cost, of course.
