Kind of glad that I went with a Spigen case, instead. I can’t justify $60 for a case that is so delicate.
The leather cases had their problems, but when leather gets old, it at least looks nice — a scuffed, dusty fabric case will not.
Proper leather does.
Apple’s didn’t.
It’s a way to sell an inferior cheaper product for the same price while greenwashing it as an environmental move.
I’m sticking with real leather.
Okay guys. Hear me out. I ordered the wallet and case with my new phone. In the box, it specifically states on the instructions that the finewoven material WILL patina with time, just like leather. This was not unknown to apple. I am not trying to say that it will infact look nice when there is a year of patina, I am just saying that this is a feature, not a bug. I wish they had emphasized this more when announcing the fabric. They expect people to use it LIKE LEATHER. It should age like leather, it should feel like the suede leather, and it should be handled like leather. So I think these arguments that it “scratches too easily” are just somewhat overboard. The finewoven wallet on my phone the last 2 days looks just like when I received it.
Wait what am I saying. Apple bad. Bad bad apple. You make bad product and too pricey. Now go back to Cupertino and make an indestructible leather alternative that is REALLY worth the money.
