Funny thing is that the iPhone works just fine without these stupid cases. I guess apple wont tell people this fact so they can milk dumb users more money out of their pocket

For those of you who need to hear it, it should be abundantly clear at this point that Apple will never re-introduce leather cases. Stop asking for them because they’re not coming back. You can always buy a third-party case if you want leather.
Apple used the environment as an excuse to stop making them which is too funny, but third party will make the money from people then

Are you serious? Our phones in general are as unsanitary as a public toilet seat and you are worried about these cases??? 😂
Bring back carpets in bathrooms /s

They don't look very sanitation-friendly.

Probably wouldn't want to be holding someone else's phone that has one of these on it. Probably not even good for the owner.

Don't the designers at Apple think about these kinds of issues
 
I picked up a heavily discounted FineWoven case for my iPhone 15 Pro a while back, mostly out of curiosity. I ended up using it for nearly a year before finally ditching it. From day one, the first issue was the MagSafe charger, it left a permanent circular imprint on the case that never faded. Maybe it would’ve disappeared over time, but I charge wirelessly every night, so it just stayed put. Eventually, the case started absorbing oils from my skin. You could clearly see where my fingers gripped the phone and where my palm rested. I tried cleaning it with a cloth and a bit of laundry detergent, but it didn’t help at all.

Honestly, I’d have been pretty annoyed if I’d paid full price. That said, I really liked the texture and how it felt in the hand, shame about the durability.
 
Enough said already. Looks ripped from a ruck sack. What is the decision making process that brings them to choosing this material? Yuck.
Sticking to my beautifully hand crafted Japanese leather case for my 13 Mini.

I had a 5S leather case that gradually acquired an attractive patina. Then after that the patina got its own patina which was still attractive. But the 3rd and 4th patinas started looking pretty bad.🍸😹 With these cases, the patina enhancement process is accelerated, skipping the attractive part entirely!🍸🙀
 
These actually look similar to that first eco friendly case from Pela Case that was like think for the iPhone 13? Those were actually decent, they had a nice tactile feel to them.

Most interesting thing about this – placement of the Apple logo: they didn't reposition it downwards, equidistant between the camera bump & bottom edge; it remains centered vertically. I'm so glad to see this, that would've looked hideous otherwise.
