Test Driven - Apple's iPhone 15 FineWoven Case vs Silicon Case vs Clear Case

In today's deep dive, we're going re-explore the world of Apple's iPhone 15 cases. Specifically the FineWoven case after I've used it for 7-days. Oddly enough, my goto Apple branded case, the Silicone Case had a big red flag. More in the video!

See what colors Apple has for these cases (via Amazon links):

Apple Silicone Case Review:

-Slim and smooth design with a comfortable grip.
-Attracts pocket lint, especially on lighter colors.
-Loose corners raise concerns about face-first drops.
-Questionable fit for the iPhone Pro Max, especially on one side.

Apple Clear Case Review:

-Ultra-slick feel, reminiscent of a wet bar of soap.
-Tight buttons; excessive force can crack the case.
-Magnet for fingerprints and face grease.
-MagSafe accessories struggle to grip, especially on the smooth back.

Apple FineWoven Case Review:

-Initially slick but offers a secure feel when gripped harder.
-Fabric scuffs easily, showing wear after just a week.
-Memory foam under the fabric feels out of place.
-Issues with wear and tear rebound after using MagSafe accessories.

I went through this journey myself - got the finewoven case first, sent it back immediately. Got the clear case and used it for a couple days - nearly dropped my brand new phone multiple times its so slick, and it actually hurt my hand because I instinctively gripped the phone much, much tighter to compensate for the dubious grip. Got the midnight silicone case - perfect. I don't even really like silicone cases but this will work fine, and maybe in a year I can get one of those nice third party leather cases like a Bullstrap.

Your video saved me from making a 60$ mistake! Thank you

I think the clear case looks really cool and really digging the smooth buttery feel of it in hands. The plastic cracking tho, now thats not nice.

been using the clear case since i got my 15 a couple days ago and i like it so far! Mainly want to see the natural titanium color instead of hiding it

Are we not going to talk about the fact that the dog was starring at him the whole video💀

Would love to see a screen protector comparison for iPhone 15 pro max

I've been using the silicone cases for like 10 years now and honestly they are the best. The only thing that sucks now is that they don't honor the warranty as much as they used to. I got two silicone cases last week and both corners are covered.

Clear case completely tarnished my iPhone XR’s back glass. I loved having Apple’s leather case on my SE1, but with a lack of Apple leather cases for most non-pro iPhones (and now the loss of leather Apple cases entirely) I learned that a bare iPhone is a much more enjoyable experience than having any of Apple’s cases applied.

Whenever I get my first MagSafe iPhone (likely a 14 Plus), I’ll just get a MagSafe grip accessory instead of a case

Nothing wrong with the Apple clear case. I’ve used them for years and have never thought they were that slippery after some use. I just want a clear case with smooth sides and no raised edges.

I bought an ESR branded clear soft case for £8. My phone hasn’t arrived yet but the case feels excellent to hold. There are tiny micro dots lining the inside and the corners have extra protection. As the phone hasn’t arrived yet, the real test is yet to happen but given the price point I am impressed. It’s also non slip with good grip and ESR claim that it is shock proof to military grade standards.

My only gripe with the silicone case is, every one I’ve owned ended up having chips on the rim of the case…exposing the plastic inner shell. Otherwise, it’s one of apples best case!

I was crouched down in Best Buy trying to decide between silicone and clear. Glad I went with silicone after watching this video.

I know the silicone gets a lot of hate, but I really like it. I love the texture and simplicity.

I am a fan of Spigen Clear Cases - however, the "bumper" or frame part of the case does peel away from the the back plastic flat backing and it does yellow, but in terms of showing off a cool colour like gold, it does an ok job, but mainly it provides for the me the best grip and protection from falls. The edge sticks up higher than the glass so it 360 protection for me. To each their own.

I like these videos where you say why something is bad. Good to have these along with the top case videos.

Great video… tbh I love your dog and his shirt and tie. 😂 I’m a subscriber now 😊

I have the Apple Clear case - absolutely nothing wrong with it.. best of the 3 you featured!

I have a Cypress green silicone case for the 15 Pro and it sits in the case just fine in all corners.
I also have an ESR clear case which is way better than the Apple version and has nice super-strong magnets.

My fine woven taupe looks great after … well since the 22nd. I’ve washed it once and despite all its cons I’d pick it any day to the silicone case purely for how it feels in the hand.

Reg the clear case: I use it, the good thing is that it never yellows (main concern for me) it looks same as new even after 1.5 years of use! Reg slippery issue: it's strange because when out the case sticks to my hand and is just slippery when at home, it's magical I would say since it's reacting to the outside moisture. So I really like clear case 😊

Great video! I'm happy with my silicone case, I had the fine woven case for less than 24 hours before I returned it. Silicone case fits it just right and isn't too tacky to where it's constantly pulling my pockets inside out while removing the phone.
