So... CoarseWoven?Compared to FineWoven, the fabric is said to have a more rich, visible texture, as well as enhanced resistance to scratches and daily wear-and-tear.

Totally agree. But when you drop it and break the silicone “seal” and it all starts to unravel, it’s bad.The Apple brand silicone cases are the best and I hope they keep making them. I personally don't like hard plastic cases. The silicone is the right amount of grippy and protection for me.
Yeah, but I don’t mind since the case did it job — protecting the phoneTotally agree. But when you drop it and break the silicone “seal” and it all starts to unravel, it’s bad.
The right thing to do has bit them in the rear many times already. They remove stuff and then realize how much of a bigger problem they created. None of the current Apple cases are durable now, silicone will get slippery, plastic just has horrible grip, especially with people with small hands and bigger phones. Granted there’s third party brands that make quality replacements like Bull strap and nomad, but that patina and durability from leather cases are unmatched to anything recent.I don’t understand the logic “minority cares about the leather use, therefore we should use leather”. Guys, are you ok? Apple is not doing this for democratic reasons 🙂 they do it because it is the right thing to do.
Nobody asked to remove chargers. Apple did. Nobody asked to remove AirPods. Apple did. Nobody asked to stop using leather. Apple did.
Whether they did it for financial concerns or another is a different topic, but just because majority doesn’t care whether Apple produces leather products or not, doesn’t mean Apple should re-introduce leather.
So I ordered FineWoven, read horrible reviews before it arrived and then it was stigmatized before I ever used it.I loved my FineWoven case, but I'm down for this alternative. I don't and won't ever go leather again.
Cowhide is sustainable. Not using it is more environmentally unfriendly than using it.If these guys actually ventured out of their bubble they'd realise that in, certain places, kangaroos are culled sustainably because they have to be. The leather is then used in a variety of products, such as football boots. Why are they not using this leather?
Now if Apple wants to lecture us on why its morally right or wrong to use leather, or perhaps even what animals it's 'okay' for, then by all means they can go ahead - but they're not fooling anyone with this virtue signalling. It's about as cringeworthy as their Mother Nature sketch.
How is it the “right thing to do”?I don’t understand the logic “minority cares about the leather use, therefore we should use leather”. Guys, are you ok? Apple is not doing this for democratic reasons 🙂 they do it because it is the right thing to do.

This is not true. Cowhide is a byproduct, not a single cow is slaughtered for their hide. Reducing leather demand doesn’t decrease cow slaughter, cattle are raised for meat and dairy. It increases cowhide waste, with unused hides often landfilled or burned, adding to environmental issues:Not sure why people think that leather is somehow "free" given the cow is raised for meat. The value of the cow to the farmer includes all the components, including the leather. If people stop buying leather, then either the farmer has to put up the price of the meat to compensate, or raise less cattle to increase the price per cow through scarcity. Either way, slightly fewer people can afford to eat as much beef and less cows are reared, leading to less land, food and water being used and less methane produced.
It is one of Apple's values to move away from animal products: whether you like that or not is up to you and you are free to either stop buying Apple products in protest, or just buy a 3rd party leather case.
Even if Apple did start selling leather again, i would not buy one from Apple. Since Apple stopped selling them i leather to BullStrap. Way better quality and not painted so they actually wear like leather should not chip and just look stupid after use.Just give people leather, jesus. The cows are dying for food regardless, so you may as well put the hide to use too. Sick of Apple's save the world BS.
I don't use any case. It just gets annoying how dumb they're being about it. Every other year is make some new case that ends up being terrible, then they go and try to make a new one. Just stick with what works.Even if Apple did start selling leather again, i would not buy one from Apple. Since Apple stopped selling them i leather to BullStrap.

Welp, I love your honesty. I’ve lost over 50 lbs and have 15 or so left and joined a gym. Granted, I was stuck in bed one day with a herniated disc that made me hope for a heart attack or stroke, so I’m pretty motivated to not go back to that. That said, my apple leather case I got on sale for $17 is my favorite thing I’ve ever purchased. I simply love it.Yes, it’s the latest Internet craze. I’m not saying they’re not harmful but the level of harm is debatable.
If you’re someone that lives a healthy lifestyle then perhaps it’s something to consider.
If you’re like me, 100+ pounds overweight, bad cholesterol through the roof, shoving McDonald’s cheeseburgers and soda down my throat, it’s not a consideration.
My point is people are freaking out about plastic and afraid to touch paper receipts but eating toxic food every day. It doesn’t make sense.

Agree and another third party will sell it and make the money if Apple refuses to do so
I wish they'd bring back leather, as long as people eat meat leather is sustainable and just as or more environmentally friendly than things like finewoven since it typically comes from animals *already being slaughtered for meat*. I understand the ethical objections but it doesnt save any animals. I've switched to andar and bullstrap for my leather cases and such now, but Apple's first party ones were always solid and I wouldve been happy to keep buying those
Leather was fine.
What is “right” for you is not right for 99% of the civilized world. Leather is, by far, the best and most durable material for such uses.I don’t understand the logic “minority cares about the leather use, therefore we should use leather”. Guys, are you ok? Apple is not doing this for democratic reasons 🙂 they do it because it is the right thing to do.
