So they don’t actually uncover what the material is made of (likely plastic), and no-one is commenting on the fact that this case is a recycling / plastic nightmare that has nothing to do with sustainability.
Made from durable microtwill, the material has a soft, suedelike feel. The FineWoven material was also designed with the earth in mind - it’s made from 68 percent post-consumer recycled content and significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to leather.
I tried to search the internet to determine whether a leather phone case is unhygienic. There seems to be nothing on this topic. I’m sure it is, but I’d love to see an actual article or study on it.
Now that you mention it, I have an apple leather case from the 12 era on right now and the patina pattern is absolutely horrendous. I might need to put some oil over it or something.
It is rather poor quality, yeah. But I’ve come across some companies that use a way better grade of leather. I had one for an old Android a while back made from brown Horween leather, and it actually did develop a really nice patina over time.
Cool breakdown! Didn’t realize that the material was so special. Definitely seems less practical than just a plastic case though. I’d like to see a case made out of the resin coated variant they used for the side grips. Seems like that would be an interesting look and a little more grime resistant.
