The battim (boxes) of the tefillin are constructed of pieces of goatskin leather carefully glued together to form a single unit, as required by halacha. While Tefillin Gassot, which are made of thick cowhide, can last a lifetime, these Tefillin Peshutim Mehudarim should last for 7-10 years or more.
