I took my car to the dealership shortly after purchasing it to have an extra key made. He said on the early model 996's (mine is a 1999) they used a thicker leather that is more prone to cracking. He suggested keeping a high quality leather conditioner on more often than you might normally.

If you are having a problem with cracking or faded leather, there are companies out there that will resurface even the most horrible leather to like-new condition for around $150 (for both front seats). I had my front seats in a BMW resurfaced and the seats looked as good as new afterward.
