I was disappointed to see the ship time for the TechWoven cases slip into October. So I took a chance to visit my local Apple Store to try to see the colors in-person. Turns out that the cases had just arrived, so I bought three of them. They weren’t even allowed to put the new cases out on the floor, but for some reason were allowed to sell them.
You’ll have to ask in-person because the Apple Store app isn’t showing them available for pick up same day

How does the material feel? Any comments? Is it like ballistic nylon?
Pretty close. It’s almost like a high-end textured dress shirt but stiffer. The sides are finely-ridged matte rubber like a zipper pull on a technical jacket. Overall I’d say it’s worth the price IF it holds up to daily use.

Sound like it feels luxurious. Is the fabric resistant like ballistic nylon?

It’s difficult to tell without a phone inside. The empty case has a bit of give structurally. You can even pinch the inside and back to feel the thin layer of foam compress the smallest bit.
 
I’ll get one when they are on sale maybe. Not worth $99.

I did see that they don’t survive food stains and some oils so be warned.

The 16 Pro/Pro Max phones will fit just fine inside the 17 Pro/Max TechWoven cases :)

I got mine today, it's nicer/better than I expected. It's $59 (not $99, at least in the US) and I've noticed other premium cases from Otterbox/Caudabe are now more or the same price.
