Young folks typically don’t take care of things. My 15 Pro case looks pretty much the same as when I bought it, but I’m over 40.
Got a tip for us?

I saw the initial impressions before I got mine got mine and back it went immediately.
I’ve not bought an Apple case in years, think I had a silicon one for the 6 in 2014 but sold it after a few months cos I had trouble taking the phone out of my pocket. Switched to using third party cases and never looked back. Cheaper and better, IMO. Currently using a Spigen case that has served me well.
Thanks for the reccomendation, but I'm a grown adult male, so I will not be walking around with any of those designs on my phone 😂🤣
I wonder how Apple will proceed in September... Will they act like nothing's wrong and just release new FW colors? Will they scratch it altogether for a completely different material (Vegan leather maybe?) Or will they just stop making cases and instead promote some third party cases (doubtful given the profit margins they make)
The one thing I don't see them doing is going back to leather, not after they made a huge deal about being so environmentally friendly

Huge mistake!!!! Apple forgot about the customer when they designed this
Leather is a by product of an animal that is killed for human consumption. So Apple turning the skins into cases stops them from going to the Landfill
Should have went with mushroom leather if they wanted to go sustainable. How come they didn't contact MycoWorks & Bolt Threads? These companies in SF! You get the leather look and feel but also sustainable. Even Hermes uses it. Kinda like a no brainer since they're also partnered with Hermes.
The things people find to rant about! Correct: FineWoven wears more like a natural product than silicone, but who didn't expect that from the product description? I have a general disdain for cases, but the wear on my blue FineWoven wallet doesn't bother me at all.
Agreed they won't promote 3rd party cases. The profit margin on these has to be at least 1000%.
I'm over 40 and I know people OLDER than me that can't take care of anything. I also know kids in their teens that take GREAT care of stuff. Age has nothing to do with it.
For now, highly recommend Nomad’s leather cases as a substitute— great quality. After buying for my 12 Pro Max, I never looked back.
Apple:
"Like every Apple-designed case, it undergoes thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process."
It's a wonder it made it "thousands of hours"...

I hope these cases are soon discontinued and Apple opts for aramid fiber / Kevlar for their premium cases.
For my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I opted for Rebel Cases (phonerebel.com). Very tough, thoroughly thought-out engineering and nice matching real titanium details. Not cheap, but 10 times the value and durability.

Was just looking at those today they look nice. Also eyeballing bullstrap.co cases.
originally. The last few were not dyed at least in my eyes the "paint" chips off not making for a nice patina like you would expect from leather.
Peta kills more animals than most pet organization if not all of them put together. They are a complete joke.
