A major thing people should keep in mind: The cases have a 1-year limited warranty via Apple. My silicone case started to chip and peel and I recently got it replaced at Apple with a new one for free.

I have both but prefer the woven case as it’s much lighter and fits snugger than the silicon case. I have the black one and it’s wearing on the edges but not scratched up.Has indents slightly where I charge with MagSafe and when home using a MagSafe pop socket holder. It’s summer here in Australia and very hot so I think the woven is cooler to touch and also for heat displacement. Initially I didn’t like the feel of the woven case and I have other brand leather cases but seem to keep going Bach to woven. If dirty, soapy water makes it look like new again.

Great review. My FineWoven case feels great in the hand- I just don't think it ages as gracefully as the clear or silicone cases. Thanks for the very clear, non-drama filled comparison!

I value this channel for clear presentation of design tradeoffs—nothing is infinitely adaptable. Such is the case here. The silicone and fine woven material make different tradeoffs. I’m not sure which will serve me best, but I definitely have something to go on now.

I must say that FineWoven has grown on me over this last year. At first I was disappointed, but then I watched a video on Youtube with a guy who took a bath with his FineWoven case and after the bath it looked like brand new. I tried it and, man, it works. I gave my FineWoven a schampoo-treatment and it came back looking as new. When the iPhone 16 was released, all of the 15 Pro Max cases dropped to an affordable price and I bought all colors for about 200 dollars. Give your FineWoven case a spa treatment! I also like the soft touch.

I still trust the silicone cases. Since the iPhone 6s plus, it protected my phone a lot. The rubbery texture is like a shock absorber and it just bounces when I drop my phone.

I just got the fine woven case, employee told me to be super cautious about scratching the back. Was a little concerned on how long it’ll last me without any damage. But other than that really nice pleasant case to have in hand! Hoping I’ll keep it in somewhat good condition 😭

Very good review.useful information from the beginning to the end 👍

My silicone case on my 13 pro max started peeling around the edges which forced me to go looking for another case. Apple did not have any for my phone so I went to Amazon and settled on a clear metal mag safe case which is doing fine so far. I think people are far too picky about these fine woven cases. I have a fine woven mag safe wallet which is fine.

Thanks for the review. Picked up a fine woven case on Amazon at a discounted price w/ the new phones coming out.

Notes I’ve taken:

1) Quality control must have improved over the year (my buttons are firm similar to the leather cases I’ve owned w/ previous generations, no button rattle).

2) I am looking at applying Scotch Guard to protect the material based on others experience to increase longevity. Simple wash and go with some dish soap from there.

Cheers!🍻

Got my black one for 5-6 month and washed it 2 times with Washing-up liquid. All fine looks pretty good, no scratches. One side where I hold my iPhone gets slightly lighter but really nothing dramatic.
One thing u really dislike is how slippery it is 😓

Ive had both i actually prefer the woven its lighter and feels good in the hands got the wallet to match so far no problems

[billymania]

Yeah, the fine woven case is best. It has served me well.

Thanks for making the cable fit test. I owned an iPhone 15 and a leather case from mujjo. Only the original apple usbc cable (60W) fits. So I sent the mujjo case back.

I LOVE MY BLUE AND GREEN FINEWOVEN CASE AND WALLET FOR MY iPhone 15 Pro Max ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't like cases. But i have to use a case for protection, as I let my nephew watch kids youtube on my iPhone. And my iPhone is prone to dropping when he is using it.

Shake a Galaxy S24/S23 Ultra with or without case and you’ll here some maracas inside the camera module

I have the guava silicone case for my iPhone 15 Pro Max 😊

I don’t see a big deal about the buttons. Who is actually listening for the loose button noise?

Hey great video..
Let me know if stains stay on the silicon or it can be wiped off?
