Apple’s cases have been trash for a while now. I made the mistake of buying one for my iPhone 11 in 2019, and it started chipping at the corners immediately after I bought it, without me even dropping it.
I put a silicone case on my 13 pro the day I got it and I took it off today when I dropped it at the Verizon store. Does it look fancy? Nope. Is it overpriced? Yep. Does it fit like the people who designed my phone made it? Yep. That works for me, might not for everyone, but I don’t need it to. Just adding my experience.
When a $20 Spigen or ESR beats any Apple case
Spigen kept my Nexus 5 intact. Loved them then, love them now.
Apple cases aren’t worth the top dollars. People should just get a Spigen case or any other case than Apple ones.
How does stuff like this end up shipping? Does this kind of design and quality meet with Tim’s approval?

That depends on the fabric.
People deliberately beat the shit out of denim or buy it beat to shit.
I honestly don’t think it’s that big a deal. When the leather cases got marked people called it “patina” and said it was a good thing. I always thought it was pretty disgusting.
I think these new cases are fine, and that Apple blogs love a good outrage story.
I think I spotted the guy who sold the Finewoven’s idea to Tim. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I wouldn’t have noticed this if people hadn’t started pointing it out. I’ve seen worse examples out there than mine. I suppose I’m lucky.
I went finewoven. I like it. Feels premium, lighter and thinner than silicone
Imb4 astroturfers start whining about how the finewoven case works just fine for them and this is all very entitled really and then make a #lowsodiumfinewoven hashtag on twitter to talk about how great the cases are
Ok I’m gonna be that guy. I wanted a silicone case but they were sold out for 15 PM, so I went for finewoven. It does feel very nice even if overpriced and not that durable.
No im not expecting a crazy lifespan but I can deal with that. When it starts to degrade I’ll be buying a leather case from a 3rd party, but wanted it cased from day 1. Partly because I love the look of leather and partially because I’m annoyed by the PETA types so it’s a double-win.
