Why is there a shortage of Techwoven cases?

[aperfectcircle]

Maybe people are catching onto them and want something different than the usual from Apple.

Even though it's FineWoven 2.0 (I'm not saying that as a bad thing, just that it is)

I’ve been surprised at the number of people both online and in real life that have gone for the TechWoven cases after the fiasco of FineWoven. They do seem to be quite popular this time around. Every person I know who has bought a 17 Pro has opted for one this year.

But you said only black is available, which isn’t the case.only Brown and Blue have an ETA of 28th October–4th November; the rest are available for 1–3 day delivery.Obviously, some colors sold faster than expected and the first shipment ran out.

And you said ‘Apple’s website has all colors ready for delivery in 1–3 days as usual.’ which clearly isn’t true.

I think this is it, really. People miss the leather cases so once they heard that Techwoven cases are at least not as terrible as Finewoven the cases became super popular.

FWIW I love mine.

They feel much nicer than what I remember of FineWoven, and the colour choices are really good and offer some nice combos with the various Pro colours.

I was able to get a blue Techwoven case in Hamburg City Center, Germany for an iPhone 17 Pro. The stock was not on display but display models were. I had to ask a staff member if the store had any in stock, which they did.

I canceled my US online order as they have an Oct 30 store delivery/pickup date.

I bought them all. Seriously I bought the blue, purple and sienna. 🤣🤣

They were in stock when I posted the comment. Stock changes. If you search around, you can still find them from other retailers in fact, I ordered a Sienna just today.

There is definitely a shortage. Here in the US, the New York stores were sold until the beginning of November. All of them. Same with the California and Texas stores. That’s mainly for two colors: sienna and blue. The other ones are OK.

Amazon has them in stock, scooped up a purple one during their sale

My last phone was a 13 pro, and I had the leather case. I was disappointed when that was discontinued.

Since I didn’t upgrade until the 17, I only heard about the FineWoven cases. So, I held off on TechWoven until I could see it at the store, the weekend of launch day. I really liked the look and feel of it, and wanted either blue or sienna. The blue was already sold out at both my local stores.

The sienna looks really nice on my orange pro. I love the feel of it. It makes me not miss the leather so much anymore.

Anyone have real life pics of the Sienna TechWoven on the Deep Blue iPhone 17 Pro Max?

I miss Apple’s leather cases quite a bit even though I’m reasonably happy with my blue Techwoven. Apple has not been able to convince me that using a natural material that’s a byproduct of the meat industry is worse for the environment than the polyester fabric that Techwoven is made from given that polyester is essentially plastic.

Got lucky last night and managed to score a blue TechWoven case for my 17PM from Argos- only one in stock in a 10 mile radius in London (and at the £10 off price too)!

Not sure how I feel about the case yet. One thing’s for sure- it’s completely different from the FineWoven one.

 

[SimpleEffect]

Do these techwoven cases even have drop protection?
Cant see any drop test with it anywhere

Good job! The blue one is extremely difficult to find for some reason.

Was checking TW case stock during lunchtime today and looks like Apple Stores in the DMV (DC/MD/VA) area received small batch of blue and sienna TW stock over the weekend. Got lucky and was able to snag blue and sienna TW (as of 6:55PM EST, sold out locally in VA, showing some stock for MD and DC) for my incoming 17PM later next this month.

They’ll have some drop protection over a naked phone obviously, but Apple aren’t going to claim anything as people will just exploit it.

I went into local Apple store, got the 17 Pro Max and was able to get whatever TechWoven case I wanted.

I might get a black one as well.

The shortage is in the UK. They seem to be on special order right now in the Apple Store apart from the Black one.

 

[Dnill]

The same applies for Sweden. The blue and sienna are out of stock both at apple and all other electronics retailers. Earliest delivery on the 12th of November.

I ordered a Spiegen Clear case prior to collection of my PM just incase the TW wasn’t nice, but I was really impressed. I’m not fussed about the silicone cases at the moment. I had 8 Apple silicone cases for my 15PM so I could match Watch bands/outfits etc, but the next case I buy is going to be another TW because they just look and feel decent.

I’m curious and haven’t really seen anything, but did they give a reason why there is no techwoven offerings for the Air?
