Apple has eliminated leather from its accessory offerings and has replaced it with FineWoven. But for the price, FineWoven is an overall disappointment.
This story is part of our complete Apple event coverage When Apple revealed the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro during its Wonderlust event, it also announced that in its efforts to be more carbon neutral, it would no longer be selling leather accessories. In place of leather, Apple unveiled a new FineWoven accessory lineup that includes iPhone cases, MagSafe wallets, and even Apple Watch bands.
It feels nice, but durability is questionable FineWoven is described by Apple as a “luxurious and durable microtwill.” When you touch the material, it definitely has that luxurious, almost silky feel to it. My coworker Andy Boxall called it almost suede-like. And yes, it really does feel nice. But that’s where the good stops, at least for me.
Previous Next 1 of 2 I also noticed that the FineWoven material tends to easily pick up bits of lint and debris as well, and those little bits sometimes just aren’t easy to wipe away either. This reminds me of the silicone in a way, and it drives me nuts. The point of a case is to protect the phone, and sure, the FineWoven case will still protect your iPhone 15 from actual damage. But it’s going to look like complete crap doing so. Apple claims that the material “may show wear over time,” but that should mean after weeks or months, not days.
