Hands On With Apple's FineWoven iPhone 15 Cases!

Every year Apple introduces a new lineup of cases to go with its latest devices. For iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple has a new FineWoven case to replace its leather cases. I walk through all five colors and details of this new premium iPhone case.

Note to the videographers: I would stop the aperture down so you have a wider range of focus. Nice video!

Please lock your focus and then demo the product at the right distance from the lens. The autofocus issues were...bad, man.

I’m using this case right now and I’m loving it. Super comfortable to hold, much lighter than leather, and plenty robust for drop protection. Recommend you try it for yourself and return it if you really hate it, instead of immediately rejecting it because of bad reviews!

I could be way off but I feel like when companies do this it’s about the money. It’s probably cheaper for them to make finewoven over leather and they’ll spin it as “eco-friendly” while charging you the same as leather.

[labaom]

I don't think these will age well.

[pharaohosam]

Leather, of course, looks and feels a lot more premium. These are much cheaper for Apple to produce, yet they're charging the same amount of money. Really hate that the material doesn't at least wrap all the way around, with plastic on the sides instead. I do think the color options are nice at least. I'm digging mulberry the most.

I don’t like that the woven material doesn’t wrap all the way around and has an awkward transition to cheap plastic for the outer edge. Could be an indicator that the woven material isn’t durable enough to withstand the heavy wear at the corners. I usually go for the Apple leather case but this time I might switch to silicone. I like the case to feel in the hand like its all one single piece rather than 2 different materials seamed together.

I have two fine woven cases for my 15 promax, and my wife has two for her 15 promax they hold up very nicely, and I actually really like them

Nice intro but man consider change your aperture or lens next time…
Focus is way too shallow and slow everything barely stays in focus for even a second.

[godsidekurt]

Well for once Apple is helping third party companies with leather options

[JDoG]

Yeah. This upsets me too. Having multiple leather cases and leather Hermes Apple Watch straps I’m sad to hear the day of devices Apple are over.

I got the Taupe for my Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max and I am loving it!

[theitechlab]

I'm sad they got rid of the leather but am really looking forward to trying these new ones out. I've been using an 11 Pro Max since launch with the same Apple leather case and it has held up incredibly well. Almost 4 years of daily use and it's still a great case. Hopefully these new cases hold up as well as the leather did.

[TechnoBoizzz]

The natural titanium Pro, and the Taupe case looks so good together. That’s what I got.

[theHLT]

The colors are gorgeous but this is gonna be a pass for me. The fact that they pick up lint is very disappointing. And to top it off fabric will naturally stain much easier, which could make for really cool patina over time, or completely ruin the case.

[tayjn]

“Depressed Apple logo” just like me fr

[ADPeguero]

Would love to see the car interior of the staff at Apple that decided to cancel the leather cases with these cheap, recycled fabric cases. Willing to bet those same staff have a ton of leather products in their personal wardrobe and/or purses, etc.

[PokhrajRoy.]

FineWoven is the most Apple based nomenclature you can find lol

P.S. They have a lot of work to do with the material.

[pressrepeat]

Leather is the most natural material there is. Apple choosing to go with plastic stuff made out of fossil fuels (all plastic is made of oil!) seems ridiculous considering they spent so much time on their “environmental” processes. I loved the leather cases.

[MetalMike]

I feel like these are gonna look dirty and matted down within a few weeks of use. Time will tell! But from first glance, the leather seemed like a much better product.
