Not-So-FineWoven iPhone Case 'Browning Like a Rotten Banana'

I am very happy with my generation one navy coloured leather and lavender coloured leather ‘find my’ second generation MagSafe Wallets.
I don't have a case for my XR. But it will remain to be seen how well that works with the next iPhone I buy.
I wonder if they couldn't make the surface on the back "even" again by just adding more battery.
The unevenness when the thing is lying flat on the table is the worst.

That's because leather, like metal can and is designed to patina over time... plastic is not.
If you take good care of the product, FineWoven cases age like the finest of fine wines. I love mine and anyone calling it a piece of junk should be forced to use Android for a year.
Ah nice, assumption time from the self proclaimed marketing department. Nice how you dismissed everyone with a bad experience in one blanko statement. Telling.
My 3$ aliexpress silicone case is just as new one year after. The velvet inside still fine
I do need to inform myself on this; the whole point of vegan leather is to leave the animals in peace…
but besides maybe alligator skin leather, we don’t really kill animals only FOR the leather, instead animals die already no?
We use as much a possible for food, supplements, medicine and tons of things including leather. But now the leather part is wasted and in vain?
Nothing against this FineWoven experiment at the same time, maybe it will be enhanced over the next iterations

I do hope you're right. This is not a bad idea but it seems that there are improvements to be made, there are far too many complaints for Apple not to take notice. Again as I posted before, the many, many non-Apple choices in cases are generally a better value for the money.
Buy a decent leather case. I get why not if you're vegan, but for everything else its the best option:

More durable than this woven rubbish, lasts longer and bio degrades unlike the plastic cases

Definitely looks like oils and skin from her hands building up. I imagine the fine weave catches and holds on to debris better than most other cases.
I still like Apple's silicone cases. I also rotate my cases and wash them regularly.
Hence my remark when I replace my iPhone 12, I am getting an Incipio or Otterbox case.
I had Apple leather cases in the past, I really liked them and the brown leather aged very well, as good leather should. Not interested in Apple's fake eco agenda to appear to be green. I buy an after market case now and get exactly what I am looking for with zero politics or agendas in mind.
Wouldn’t it be equally as “nice” an assumption to dismiss everyone that hasn’t had any issues with one blanket statement? Isn’t it just as telling? I mean, anecdotal experiences with no empirical data are all the same… right?
I am not discounting the chance that someone else has zero problems with a product but the troll like blame shifting attempts by one specific individual here are pretty special.
Except for a slight from the magsafe magnets, mine looks almost as good as it did when I bought it. And it seems to be more durable than the most recent leather case which was really cheap think leather. I'm way happier with it than I was with the last leather one, but not as much as the older iPhone 11 leather one.
So why is mine still so clean? Am I the only one who washes their hands regularly, and doesn't drop their phone?

I got the fine woven case for the 15 and thought it was decent at the time, not as good as the leather it replaced but not as bad as all the reviewers were making it out to be. I bought the clear case a few months and used it for a few weeks, not because I didn't like the fine woven but wanted to switch things up a bit. A few weeks ago I saw the fine woven laying on my desk and picked it up and was really surprised at how premium the quality was and how comfortable it felt to hold, especially compared to the clear case. I replaced the clear case with the fine woven and have been using it since. I now definitely prefer the fine woven to the clear. But I think the Silicone Case is the best Apple Case you can get, I've always felt the silicone was better than the obsolete leather cases too, not as premium but more comfortable to hold and looks better imo.
I think people in the thread are having trouble seeing the real purpose of the case, which is theft deterrence. If your case looks like it is suffering from nail fungus and other assorted molds, no one will want to touch it for risk of a staph infection.
