Not really heard anyone talk about the new #FineWovenCase yet now that leather is no longer - they feel bloody lovely!

@stevepenny The picture makes it look like suede. Can you describe it a bit? Because you’re right, I haven’t heard a word about the cases, just brief mentions of the finewoven watch bands.

@Sauce_ the back does have a suede-like feel to it. Very soft. The sides are more of a fake leather - almost like plastic but with a more premium feel (very similar to the actual leather on older cases). Also feels slightly lighter than previous leather cases.

@stevepenny wonderful! Thanks for such a good description.

@Sauce_ I’d also point out that this purple version is MUCH darker than how it looked in the video and in promo shots. Not sure if the other colours will be like this, but worth bearing in mind when picking a colour.

@stevepenny @viticci @imyke @ismh @jsnell @atpfm I’m worried how well they will react to getting dirty in comparison to the leather - what do you think?
Show threadSteve PennySep 14, 2023
@Bryson @viticci @imyke @ismh @jsnell @atpfm it does seem to collect lint etc and feels like it might not fare well if wet or if it had pen on it, drink dropped on it etc.

@stevepenny do you know if it would work with an iPhone 13 Pro? In the website it says it is compatible only with the 15 Pro, but maybe if the size is the same… 🤞👀

@simone_barbieri no. Different sizes, different button layout.

@stevepenny damn 🥲 well thanks for checking!

@stevepenny could you describe the finewoven case texture and (perceived) durability with a bit more detail? Also what are the sides like compared to the back? Thanks!

@exkclamation @stevepenny @viticci @imyke @ismh @atpfm this is why tagging lots of people on social media is a bad idea, FWIW

@jsnell my apologies, I replied too quickly and forgot to truncate the list. I’ll edit and remove everyone now.

@stevepenny @viticci @imyke @ismh @jsnell @atpfm I’m considering one for my Plus, but $60 is a lot for a case.

Seems nice, yet possibly a dust magnet. Prone to stain, difficult to clean, shorter shelflife, thus LOWER green metrics.

@stevepenny are the sides plastic?
Show threadSteve PennySep 15, 2023
@cwagdev yes, it’s a ‘fake leather’ - but pretty close to the original leather version.
Show threadChris WagnerSep 15, 2023
@stevepenny I guess what I’m asking is the edge different from the back? It looks like it transitions to more of a hard plastic whereas the 13 Pro leather case I have wraps around from the edges to the back.
Show threadSteve PennySep 15, 2023
@cwagdev yes, the edge is different to the back. But you don’t notice the transition as both materials are soft/similar.

@stevepenny thanks for the reply! Wonder if they’ll sell these for older models.
