Why does everyone care so much about the MagSafe ring showing up on a case? I still don't get it.
Because many people around here treat the case and wallet as a fashion statement.
I have the black FW, used it for a week. I hate to pile on, but it’s not great and it seems terribly overpriced. It’s a lint magnet, it’s already showing scratches, the MagSafe charger is already wearing a circle in the back, and it was slightly loose on one side causing it to squeak/creak. It also seems only minimally protective, definitely less so than even the Apple silicone. I’ve switched to a Mous Limitless 5.0 which to me feels more premium and protective. YMMV…
I like the FW more every day. I love the feeling of the back and sides. I’ll probably pick up the Mulberry soon as well.
Mine doesn’t from my pocket. I’ve picked off a few pieces of lint but no problems from being in my pocket.
I don’t have one of these cases but surprised to see the large bottom cutouts rather than the precise tiny speaker holes. Apple usually doesn’t do that.
I am right now a bit torn between the FineWoven in Pacific Blue and the Silicone in Storm Blue.
I believe the FineWoven won’t last long but that blue shade is spot on with my Apple Watch Ultra with the blue Ocean Band. How different is the Storm Blue of the Silicone case?
Silicone cases are always a safe choice, I just wish that Storm Blue would be a good match with my blue Ocean Band.

I wish the blue was like that in person, I'd probably run that over the black if that was the case
Yea its lighter in outdoor lighting.
Im torn to be honest.
Between Mulberry, Blue and Clay as my daily driver.
i actually don't understand the hate adn think finewoven is working out fine. i don't personally like the feel of it though but that's more subjective.
I think the fact that the FW is intended as a replacement for the now discontinued leather cases makes it a hard sell.
I'm still getting used to the sides being a little slippery compared to the silicone case. Having my leather Apple wallet makes for a perfect combo with the Black FineWoven. I give the case a B+.
What I’m definitely noticing is a lot of the hate hype, pre phone release is dying down and now people have them on their phones, they are warming to them and perhaps realising they may actually be a good case after all.
Me being one of them. I ordered three FW cases prior to phone release, sent them all back. Post phone release, grew curious after seeing a fair few pictures and hearing good things and I’m now trialing one to see how it goes. So far, I’m liking it
The first few weeks of new iPhone releases are always dominated by negative coverage, heatgate, battery woes, scratch test /drop test / benchmarks, mostly for clicks and likes on YT videos and twitter/X likes. That's how influencers get attention and marketing revenue.
You probably get real reviews and feedback once everyone calms down and have a chance to actually use the product.
I have two FW and I'm loving both of them. Surprised how minor dirt and grime can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth and soapy water.
Picked up the taupe FW case for my natural titanium pro max. Love them both. The case has held up very well. I actually think it will age much better than the most recent versions of the leather cases. Really confused about all of the initial uproar about these cases. Worse thing about them is the price. Most Apple products are overpriced 😂 why is anything different expected with these cases.
apple's biggest mistake imo is trying to sell to people that this case feels just like leather vs just saying, we have a new case it's fabric!
