iPhone 15 FineWoven cases - Pictures and impressions

[Boardiesboi]

Just received my mulberry FineWoven case and it’s definitely interesting.

- Back feels soft and velvety and suede like. There seems to be some padding and bounce to it
- Sides seem to be somewhere between hard plastic and nylon. If you look closely you can see a fabric type pattern
- Feels thinner and lighter than a silicone case
- Back seems to attract fluff and lint quite easily. I’ll be applying a scotch guard spray or similar to make it more water repellant.

Keen to see pics of other colours and your thoughts!

Looks like a lint magnet. This is bad news since the iPhone will be carried around in your pockets.

Yes it does feel like that once I opened it. I'll report back when I've applied some scotch guard etc and use it with the phone to see if it gets dirty real quick.

not crazy about the side aesthetic material but I like the color overall actually and this easily looks like the best fine woven imo

I knew it. lint magnet.

Can it be washed with soap and water?

 

[Surfsalot]

Sure that will help the patina along.

I also got mine today. Here is a picture next to my dark cherry case from my iPhone 13 Pro.

The color looks in person way better than the online render.

So you're going Max this time?

 

[cookiemonster89]

yes. Anything else doesn’t make sense regarding the camera upgrade.

Amazing how different lighting makes it look like lavender on your pics and deep purple on mine.

Might have to get the evergreen

What color?

I got the blue finewoven case yesterday for the 15 Pro Max.

I like the color but not the feeling of the case at all. The sides feel okay, but the finewoven back just doesn't feel premium and as I do some farming I don't think it will look good after getting some dirt on it from time to time. With the leather giving it a small rinse would work well but I think this case is much easier stained.

So it's going back to Apple.

Everyone who got a case could you just check the bottom where the usb c port is. Mine has there a little dent. Looks like the material was „married“ there. Just curious if this is the case on every case 😂

That's not on the blue one I've got

You’re onto something mate. Mine also has that joint, though not as pronounced as yours.

Doesn’t really bother me though

Same for my case.

Under normal light you can barely see it. I just put it in this lighting condition to highlight it as best as I could.

These look far inferior than leather

Edit - The pattern showing up in the second pic isn't a true representation of what you see in real life. It doesn't look like that on my 12 mini screen LOL.
There must be some heavy processing and compression when I uploaded these...

As someone with a mini, I just couldn’t get my head (nor my hands) around the thought of leaping up to the Max size. I can always change my order, just wondering if you have any hesitations… or if receiving the case made that better. Or worse…

Mine delivers today, interested to see if it's a disappointment as is implied here. I assumed it might be similar to the Peak Design cases of the last couple of years, which are great cases and the fabric is tight, doesn't pick up lint and seems to wear very slowly.

Screenshot comparison of the now defunct leather case from the 14 series, vs its successor, the Finewoven on the 15 series, from this YouTube video

Honestly, in my opinion, seeing the comparison above, I think I will really miss the leather cases. They just look far more premium. The Finewoven just looks like cardboard in comparison, which isn’t great - and carries the same premium price tag - but who knows, haven’t yet seen one in person, that might change my mind. Ironically, the sides of the case more closely resemble the old leather case.

I’ve always used the iPhone Pro Max.

I sold my 14 PM a few weeks ago and was just using my 12 mini as a temporary phone haha

Apple has two lint magnets I see along with their Silicone case.

Thank you so much for the photos. I love the colour, but not the case itself. Will look elsewhere.
