@ChanceHMiller Agree... They feel cheap which is sort of the opposite of what they are. Even the old silicone cases feel a lot better both in hand and sturdiness. Disappointed is a mild way of putting it…

@ChanceHMiller Wonder how this bodes for the finewoven watch bands…

@ChanceHMiller Got to say I had low hopes for these and they’ve managed to it even meet those.

Imagine saying to leather case buyers that this is the replacement.

@oliverhaslam @ChanceHMiller I always get silicone and was torn about whether I should get this or not. Decided to go with the norm.

@ChanceHMiller So glad I picked a third party case. I always went with an Apple leather case but I’m yet to see a positive review of these new cases.

@ChanceHMiller seems like the people just can’t be pleased. The people always want something new different but now the people aren’t happy even if it’s better for the environment. So unreal!?

@ChanceHMiller And since it's a case, the phone will still be scratched by abrasive dust that inevitably gets inside.

The reason I stopped wearing cases as soon as they stopped with rounded edges :)

I thought they might be tweed like an old fender amplifier.

@stephenrobles @ChanceHMiller Am I going to have to find a new wallet?

stephenrobles, 8 months ago

@stephenrobles Somebody should make a video on all the best alternative wallets :P

stephenrobles, 8 months ago

@matthewcassinelli haha I'm working on a leather case one!

@matthewcassinelli @stephenrobles Why not rely on the old and safe apple leather wallet?

matthewcassinelli, 8 months ago

@aruizor @stephenrobles they were fully discontinued this year for environmental reasons and now FineWoven is the only option

@matthewcassinelli @stephenrobles Then the only thing left to do is to rely on Amazon and stock leftovers in large shopping malls :ablobthinking:

@ChanceHMiller That bad huh?

@ChanceHMiller is it because you touched it, and it felt gross?

They were fingerprint-y less than 15 minutes after coming out of the box. Oh, and the four items you see here cost ... $255.47.

@matthewcassinelli @ChanceHMiller my hope is that it’s so poorly received they go back to the drawing board. If anyone could make vegan leather, it’s Timothy Apple’s crew

@ChanceHMiller they do seem like they would be picking up food stains left and right.

@ChanceHMiller thank you for the test. And an expensive one at that. Especially if the quality is poor. I’ll skip this iPhone generation but still.
