That's really the main thing--stains on this kind of material are probably pretty gross looking and don't just add to the patina over time (like when I had a brand new saddle brown leather model from Apple a few years ago and the day after I got it my baby niece scratched her sharp little baby fingernails right down the back of it.)
Is that the umber 14 PM leather case? It looks amazing in that lighting. I had one and it looked nothing like that haha
Someone should do a tear down of one of these… curious about how the sides and the back are connected
I'm glad I upgraded my phone last year. If I received one of these pieces of junk I would ship it straight back.
This is how much they care about the environment: by pushing all the negatives onto the customer.

It's really not junky feeling. I mean, I don't care, it's just a phone case. I didn't design it. But you could do with some of your user name or something. This is either an unreal amount of cynicism or a troll.
I got the Pro Max versions. Leather and FineWoven as already shown in a previous post in this thread.
Weight:
14 Pro Max Leather: 31g
15 Pro Max FineWoven: 30g

$99AUD, Apple really taking the piss this time. The polishing cloth is better value lol
Nice marketing/brain washing, If they made it a even $100 no one would buy them.

Received mine today, not even close to worth 60 bucks. It feels like cheap garbage and I can tell it'll get damaged by dirt or liquid or really anything very quickly. It is going back.
Showed it to my wife saying I'm sending mine back and she loved it..... divorce
It is 100% junky feeling. I love Apple, I have so much of their stuff I'd be rightfully called a fanboy. But this case is absolutely garbage. I got mine and couldn't get it returned fast enough.
So Mujjo has their leather case on rushfaster.com.au and they’re asking AUD$100. Guess Apple ditching leather has really given other leather case makers go for higher prices.
They do look good though.
If I return the FineWoven, Mujjo is the one I’d go for
Does look good. https://www.mujjo.com/collections/cases/products/full-leather-case-for-iphone-15-pro for our American friends.
That does look terrible aye? Was gonna give the FineWoven a few days when the new phone comes next week and any signs of easy damage or dirt I’ll send it back and get the Mujjo.
I’ll have to see it in person. I use Apple black leather cases only. Hate change.
I keep my phone in a sunglasses pouch in addition to the case. That solves lint for me.

gonna need that in freedom units, bro
My FineWoven case just arrived (Pro Max, Taupe) and it's interesting!
Much softer to the touch than I expected, and the two-tone sides are a bit of a surprise. I like it, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is mainly a proprietary competitor to Alcantara, which means it would be a perfect material for an Apple Car interior.
This makes sense since Apple could then control the precise colors, ecological impact, and feel of its car interior surfaces. With other luxury automakers moving away from leather (it takes something like three whole cows to provide enough leather for a decent leather car interior) Apple is getting ready, testing it at scale on phone cases and watch bands.

That’s super helpful and interesting. I saw in a video today that the fw case has some things in it like a little microfibre piece or something so interesting it’s maintained a similar weight
No offense but you're out of your mind if you think Apple should use this material in the Apple Car. A car that would have an astronomically high price tag.
This material is junk, I noticed that immediately from it. We also have that infamous YouTube video of a guy marring it for life with his fingernail. Not to mention, how thin and fragile the material was.
I’ve ordered from here like I do every time.
I get 5 for the price of one, and no real difference in quality.

I'm sure it is especially true this time around with the "FineWoven" case as I'm not sure it is possible to be lower quality.
