get used to it.

no matter what you do, it will always get wrinkled.
its the material of the seat covers.

Is there a way to minimize the leather from getting more wrinkled?

Besides having it conditioned and taken care of, not really. It's just cheap leather (or whatever material they use) to be honest. It's easily one of my biggest pet peeves with Acura. Even my dad's cars leather is starting to look bad. There is no avoiding it.

Small steps I take to make sure I keep the damage done minimal is make sure I empty my back pocket before I get in. Usually I have my wallet, I take it out just so I'm not putting uneven pressure on one side of the seat. That and it's annoying to sit on my wallet. I try not to touch the corners of the leather too much when I'm getting in and out.

It's just small stuff that I'm not even sure that makes a difference, but it's just precautionary stuff. I don't know how long you want to keep your TSX for, but maybe in the future if it does get really bad you can have it reupholstered with higher quality leather. Might cost a cool grand or so to have the whole car done, though.

its cheapy crap and only the sides are real leather.

Thanks for the advice, ive just been putting a towel on top of the seat before i set down, not sure how much that will help.
How often should i condition my seats?

if you really wanted to, you could get a seat cover.
but then it would defeat the whole purpose of having the faux leather.

and conditioning/cleaning is like anything else in the world...if it gets dirty, clean it!!
hint, your clothes will transfer dirt every time you get in.

maybe, get in a habit of cleaning/conditioning the leather when ever you wash the car

im not a fan of seat cover, ill just go with the flow.. what happens, happens.
Ill just maintain it to the best of my ability. -_-

Clean your leather. Poly coated leather isn't going to see as much wear. I've heard leatherique does a great job but I'm still not sure whether it actually is absorbed into the material. Leather conditions do not work on any seats with a poly urethane coating on it. Wipe down the seat's with mild woolite mixed with water to clean up the seats. Then spray it down with 303 aerospace protectant to improve its durability to UV rays. The seats will be fine.

My driver seat has developed a small crack, not yet a tear, along a few of the perforations. I think it is from a snap on the back of my winter coat when I sit down on the seat. The leather on my 2004 TSX seemed thicker/stronger than on the 2010. With 150000km on the 2004 there was less wear showing than with 55000km on the 2010. There were only a couple of creases but nothing near wearing through/cracking/tearing.
Does anyone know if there is a good repair or if once it is cracked I have to live with it?
I will be looking on Google for answers/products.
Thanks.

I bought a 2013 TSX and unhappy with my leather seats and this will be my last Acura. Within 5 months my winter coat transferred onto the seats and now where I sit (i'm 125 lbs.) the leather is bagging and looks like it stretched. I already had the back part of the seat where my coat transferred die and now going back for them to look at the bottom part of my seat. It's very stressful because they tell me this is normal wear... really? it has 5000 miles and I work part time so I'm only driving my car 3 days a week and its normal to bag? Also I have the simonize on the interior of my car and glasscoat on outside. Don't believe them when they say die transfer is covered.. it wasn't.

That's wrong. The seat facing and basically any part your body touches is leather. The sides and back are plastic.

I think that this is correct!
