I just got mine and I love it! Got the blue to match the blue titanium. I bought it thinking I may return it but it feels great in the hand to me!
Got a tip for us?

Finally got my Pro Max and put it in the FW case and love it. It adds barely any weight and is wonderful to hold.
Yeah, I actually really like the look and feel…the dark blue looks amazing.
I didn’t get one though because they just mark up SO easily. Barely any pressure from a fingernail leaves a permanent mark.
iFixit put the FW to the test!

The microscopic view is pretty interesting and how it’s similar to a Patagonia jacket.
I applied sneaker water proofer to mine and it seems to propel water and minor stains quite well.
Getting the evergreen today to replace my mulberry as it’s too similar to the Mujjo burgundy leather.
Unweaving Apple’s FineWoven Case
Apple didn’t just announce some new electronics this year—they also unveiled a new fabric. Join us as we zoom and enhance the new iPhone FineWoven case!

Got the Pacific Blue to match the Blue Pro. I like it! It feels really nice like suede. The wallet seems to stick well.
So the more I use the FW case the more and more I’m liking it. I got a silicone too as a backup but I think I’m going to stick with the FW. I did use a ceramic coating for automotive upholstery application to help reduce staining. We’ll see if that works and holds up.
The case is thinner than the old leather cases and the back actually provides a lot of grip when holding the phone. Still would prefer leather but I don’t think it as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Longevity will have to be tested, but Apple tested it so I’m guessing it’ll at least hold up for a year until the iPhone 16 haha.

Is the power button really mushy with the FineWoven case or is it just my unit?
I like the case but the power button is really sensitive, can't even click it without triggering Siri or wallet.
The volume and action buttons on the case are clicky and work

Glad to see objectivity in action.
Mine isn't mushy, they all feel very nice and clicky. I actually prefer how they feel now with the case on which is shocking.
It's definitely my case then, I'll have to take it to Apple to exchange because the power button is completely unusable
Yea sometimes the listings on aliexpress are from people who work at the factories that make these cases for apple and have a side hustle.
I have the same problem. I tried removing the case and reapplying it multiple times and the power button must be misaligned on the case. I keep getting Siri triggered and there is no "clickiness." I'm going to return this case. First time I can remember having an Apple case be defective.
Looks like a decent combo - might try the same with an Umber Leather Wallet if I can find one anywhere. Do not like how the Finewoven wallets feel in the fingers
Picked up the evergreen FW to go with the Blue Ti and as I’ve read elsewhere, it does look darker than the photos suggest. But I like it.
Green with blue ti is different, but I think it looks awesome.
Purchased the FW day one and when I received it I was an instant no. Now on the phone it’s….great? I purchased 15 other cases and the FW feels the best. Maybe just need to trust Apple. Haha.
After watching all these videos of 15pro max back breaking so easily I'm getting worried that it'll break even with this case on it....
Should we start a FW patina thread? Haha
You will definitely cause people around here to get ulcers with a a thread like that. lol
Get AppleCare and stop worrying about it would be my advice.
My wife hates it too for the same reasons, but I really like it. Especially once I got my phone in it, it feels great to me and I like the look of it. I’m not missing my leather case today.
Ok just got back from the apple store
I was skeptical of fine woven case. But when I put it on the phone… I get it. It is beautiful and feels great. The wallet too. Just works
Do I expect this to last? Not really. Do I think it’ll protect from huge falls? Probably not. But I bought it and am very excited about it. Feels great and premium… for now
Also got a silicone orange sorbet case. Blue fine woven case and wallet, blue iPhone or max.
Just go for it… knowing what you are buying. A beautiful accessory for the iPhone!
