I like Apple cases but I need a folio case. It's always bothered me that Apple doesn't offer one.
Got a tip for us?

And they are called ‘Magic Spiders’….
This is a day one buy if and when I get a 15 Pro. I LOVE the official fabric case for my pixel 4a.
The real secret is to get them from eBay. I got like new official leather cases still in box for like $25 a pop like 3 months after the 13 pro came come out. If they were fake, I sure couldn’t tell the difference and am still using one. It does the magsafe animation and feels the same as the ones in the store did.

A fabric wrapped case could be interesting, as it could offer similar natural variations that leather offers and take on a unique patina as it ages. The challenge, as the purported name suggests, is that the threads would need to be very fine in order to have smooth edge wrapping.
It's a see-it-to-believe it........ something doesn't look right with the photo and the box.
I wonder if they will at least last longer than their ”leather” cases.
(“leather” in quotes because the were probably as related to leather as a chicken mcnugget is to a real chicken)

Or just keep an eye on them via Amazon. Got my cherry red Apple leather case at $25 for my 13 mini.
First black went on sale, nah too hard, then wisteria, nah too soft. Then cherry red, juust right. 😎
I agree the colors are much more beautiful than most stuff out today, which tends to be very dull.
But will they be "woven" any more than their "leather" cases are leather?
Or will the texture just look woven? And if it's woven polyester/nylon/plastic, why the cost, and how is this any better for the environment?
Would bamboo be a good natural material to weave a case out of??
Edit:
And, one hopes, the woven texture will make then grip-able, rather than the super-slippery iPhones themselves; but not so grip-able that they wear out your pockets!

And my 2 Euro cases from AliExpress with Apple Logo have been holding on for 2 years while my crappy 59€ cases by Apple have chipped edges and stuck volume buttons. Never again
I don’t know if FineWoven is accurate, but it’s not out of keeping with:
- MacBook
- MagSafe
- HomePod
- AirPod
- AirTag
I'll stick with the identical one on amazon for 1/3rd of the price apple charges. Their leather cases have been trash for years anyway so its not like I am losing out on any quality.
cosign. I bought an Apple leather case and it lasted maybe a year. Never again.
Cool, your white phone case will come pre-yellowed. I prefer the dingy white look

/sMacraméby they did.It's as if Apple took a look at this case and said "Hmmm. That weave. It's coarse. Much too coarse. We can do better."
Apple is weird and often issues the case that would have been a perfect color match to a particular iPhone that was made a different year and no longer sold. Even if you still have that iPhone, the case won’t fit because it’s made to fit the newer models which aren’t color matched to that case at all.
So, I don’t think that just because they’re selling a Pacific Blue case that the new phone will necessarily be pacific blue. No, they’re just going to do what they always do and put out a case that color that won’t actually fit a real Pacific Blue iPhone. Because…Apple.
But that’s assuming any of these are representative of the real product line. A lot of people think most of the leaks and mock-ups we’ve seen so far are way off-base.
I've used all of Apple's cases and all of the best rated third party cases. My findings are the complete opposite, Apple's cases don't do dumb things like block the bottom lip of the phone where your thumb needs to swipe up, they better match up to the buttons, and they tend to last longer.
I like the way these look, I wonder what they will feel like in the hand. The two-material design is interesting. I have used the Apple leather case on my last two phones, so will get one of these with the 15 Pro.
All the colors look great, I really like the taupe, evergreen, pacific blue, orange, and wisteria. It will come down to how each of them look with the color phone I decide on. 🤔

Mulberry and Evergreen will be an instant buy for me.
I'll stick with the identical one on AliExpress for 1/6th of the price apple charges.
FIFY
I was listening to this album the other day. “My Love” is truly a 10/10 track.
