iPhone 15 FineWoven cases - Pictures and impressions

@mjpearce023 That one is not new, but 'Used'..

He cut out the price for the item's page he is on for a new (unused) case. The $33.00 is for the used option. He's pointing out the warning that says "Frequently returned item". I think he's just pointing out it's frequently returned, not that it's on sale here.

My god are these cases garbage. Just purchased an iPhone 15 max pro with a fine woven case and they feel like recycled cardboard. $59.99 for this crap? No thanks. It's going back. What a waste of money. These should be selling for $5.99.

I hope the other colors that were leaked before the release come out in March. I think I will get one of the new ones - either wisteria or orange. I love my FineWoven.

Update from someone who actually liked his FineWoven case: it’s fraying at the edges and on the sides. And not in a nice way. I’ll have to see what Apple has to say about it. Hopefully it’s not par for the course and I just got a lemon…

Has this been dropped a lot? I have zero noticeable wear on the case edges from my usage. If that’s normal use then I’d have it straight back to apple!

 

[Surfsalot]

That’s not from normal use

 

[iFone88]

That’s not from normal use

I agree.

Dropped a few times on concrete. That's not in and out the pocket wear

100% pocket time

Blimey.... That is really bad.

Be interesting to hear what Apple say

 

[VSMacOne]

most fascinating thing about finewoven is people seem to hate it, but it's hardly ever discounted in stores.

They're discounted on Amazon almost every other week.

I don’t know. My FineWoven case shows almost no wear. It’s been in use since the week the iPhone 15 family went on sale. I don’t baby it but I don‘t trash it, either.

must have rocks in the pockets lol

I've had one since day one and it looks brand new. I have no idea what some people are doing with their phones. I like it a lot, it's even better than the leather ones used to be.

I really like(d) mine! And until it frayed all of a sudden there were no hints anything was off…

That’s the consternation… the only thing it shares a pocket with is a swatch of cloth. No idea what triggered it!

 

[Infinitewisdom]

That looks terrible. I beg to differ that that's not normal use. Dropping your phone IS normal use for most people. To have it scuff up like that after a few drops is insanity to me.

 

[mobidutch]

The fine woven cases HAVE to be amongst the worst products ever sold by Apple. I can't understand them slapping their logo on this absolute junk.

 

[mikext]

it's wild how "normal use" has some people's cases looking like an absolute wreck while others' cases still look brand new lol.

The same way some people trash their phones and crack their screens in a relatively short period of time. Now, accidents can and do happen. But it’s also true that some people just take care of their belongings and others do not.

Picked mine up for $22 on Amazon…2 weeks of constant normal use and it looks nearly new. Is this worth $60 hell no but it’s a unique case and if you can pick one up under $30 it’s worth a shot. I think it feels pretty nice. The last good leather cases Apple made were pre iPhone 12.

That can’t be genuine? It has a cutout for the action button.

Ummm it’s an iPhone 15 not a pro and yes it’s 100 percent genuine. You do know Apple makes a 15 and a 15 pro and the 15 doesnt have an action button

My bad, didn’t examine the camera lens.

I’ve seen plenty of images of these cases looking dreadful a few months on and it’s pretty much how I thought it would be. I looked at them in the Apple Store and there is no way they are worth £59. This is a £10-£15 case at best.

The sheath doesn’t fair much better when you tear it apart.
