Using my Samsung silicone case for the s22 ultra. I can say after two years, the case is a mess. I don't think silicon is a good material for phone cases. I'm just holding onto it cus it's still functional and I'm going for the 16 pro max this year.
@@hobosnake1 tbh a recommendation is just literally never buy official cases. theyre always overpriced and theres almost always identical ones for cheaper. and most likely better ones too.
@notraeon for sure. I got it free with the phone with the credit they gave me trading in/pre-ordering it. Otherwise would never have payed 40 bucks or whatever they're asking.
With all the heat this case is getting Apple should consider pulling it out until they can fix these issues otherwise they’re gonna get a lot of headaches and returns.. 😁
I feel like they wont, they'll just let it be and keep saying that people aren't taking care of it. I wish they'd bring the leather cases back. I understand they discontinued them to be more environmentally friendly, but they could've just switched to a fake leather material instead of this mess.
Someone on here had a good trick for that, and it actually clicked the back of mines where you used on dish soap, and a toothbrush to clean the back of it. It actually works my case look brand new.
Love my Finewoven case. I like the color change and light scratches. It’s similar to leather for me. Plus I can wipe it down with an alcohol wipe everyday to keep it from getting funky.
I had seen the hate for these cases but today I felt them in store and phew these are a thing of beauty, I especially liked the strong magnet it has with the fine woven wallet. I personally wouldn’t it get it due to my job being dirty by nature. If I had an office job I’d definitely go for this. Maybe I’ll make it my weekend case sometime later in the future
If you have one, I would carefully coat the fabric only with a diluted artist acrylic colour of choice, then wipe it off when it’s half dry, to purposefully give it a patina look. Custom mod it, it’ll look better!
Same thing happens on my Leather cases as well. If a case is not supposed to get scratches and worn out then u might need to add another case on top to protect this case. Cases r supposed to get worn out because they take all the beating the phone wud otherwise take. If ur worried about ur case getting worn out too soon then u might want to consider better taking care of how you handle the phone in general!
if you wanna pay that much for a case, If suggest the Magbak case: it's kinda like the silicone but has super strong magnets that allow the phone to be stuck to a metallic surface and not slip
Seriously the best case I’ve used on the 15 pro max is the tech 21 flex pro case. I have iPhone upgrade program with AppleCare and roll caseless. If I’m going camping, hiking, sling my phone around in a golf cart etc, I put the tech 21 case on it.
So far I’m happy with mine. I really like how thin it is and it’s got a way better hand feel than the silicone case. I don’t know how easy it is to clean but if mine gets dirty I will definitely try wiping it down with a wet cloth. Time will tell if it holds up.
Apple’s leather products has been gone worse and worse in recent years My iPad mini 2 leather case still looks fine, at the meantime, my iphone12 leather case have to change every 1~2 years, it gets easily fade in color and if that happens, your hand will get that color every time u touched your phone As an Apple fans, I really don’t satisfy by this situation If Apple wants to sell their case so expensive, please use fine leather and fine color dyeing process and craftsmanship dude
Idk why you keep crying on how the finewoven case holds up: It’s made to minic leather! Leather wears up over time and it’s considered a sign of wear that makes the look cooler!
@@damianwojcikiewicz3951 My Fold 4 got through 2 of their screen protectors before their pos glue eventually let air in and formed a bubble which turned to a 5 inch narrow one and forced me to change them. I’ve got the same glass for my iPhone 15 Pro and the oleophobic coating is the worst I’ve ever seen tbh.
I went to Apple Store today and felt the fine woven case vrs the silicone and I can tell you I went with a silicone the fine woven felt so cheap for it to be Apple and for it to be $60. It’s definitely not worth $60 if 25 so Apple you need to fix that fast
I never use the cases from Apple themselves. Overpriced garbage that doesn’t hold up nor protect your phone. I’ve been using the same cheap TPU case from Aliexpress for the past 4 years on my Iphone 11 pro max, and it’s still good as new. Dropped it a ton, on asphalt, tile and concrete as well as regular flooring and no indents or cracking whatsoever🤷🏾♀️ When that happened to the Apple Leather case, huge indent on the side of the case that hit the floor. The silicone one is a magnet for debris like dust particles and hair, as well as oily fingers prints. Not impressed. Also slippery.
Both this case and the silicone are awful to the touch. I don’t know why Apple didn’t go for a texture like Latercase or vegan leather. Note I don’t care for Latercase because of all the open cutouts where buttons and speaker grill aren’t protected.
Lmao even tho I hate apple, all the backlash this case is getting is crazy ridiculous, yes the price is absurd and it probably costs $0.25 to make but Apple stated the case will show wear and tear over time so y'all should expect that😂
@@johnedwood5213 Yes, think about the case as your clothes. We are supposed to clean them with water and detergent, in this case with soap for being small fabrics. That’s the solution
Or just buy one of the many other more quality less expensive cases there are out there. Paying $50 bucks for some trash case that doesn’t even protect your phone well just because it has an apple logo on it is dumb.
You know a case is bad when someone recommends the silicone one over it

@@hobosnake1 damn $40?? i didnt even realize it was THAT much
Literally every official cases of apple and Samsung are the worst. A 15$ Spigen can do my work flawlessly
And this is why you go for third party cases.
Spigen is the one I highly recommend. They provide the perfect balance of looks and protection.
@@Pearloryx Torras is also good
Nah I personally love it, just wash it once in a while and you’ll be fine

I went to the Apple Store today and they’re definitely not worth it. I went with the silicone and it was $10 cheaper and it feels way better.

He could’ve easily wiped the case down.
I love the woven case especially when it gets worn down a little bit. It has a better grip on it when it wears and the buttons get better over time.
Its ugly and too much work
Me too, I don’t really get all the hate on this case, one of my favorites from apple honestly
Imagine paying 60$ for a case that needs this much maintenance...

Scotch-guard is also a good way to protect the back of the case from water stains
I love it, I clean it once a week, and I sprayed with scotchguard since it’s made from cloth, and it’s very clean still.
If you have one, I would carefully coat the fabric only with a diluted artist acrylic colour of choice, then wipe it off when it’s half dry, to purposefully give it a patina look. Custom mod it, it’ll look better!
I didn’t use the MagSafe, it makes my phone overheat

Bro. I love the wear it brings out. Am I the only one?
You’re not the only one! It’s just ‘aging’ and similar to leather 🙌 I love mine
I love how you can easily clean it with just soap detergent and a little brushing too! I even throw my phone into the washing machine with my clothes.

For how long did you use it?
I have same issue with the apple silicone case too, the magsafe charger start leaving round mark
Just clean the case. It works perfectly. This case is way better than the leather case last year.

Love it, have it in three colours ❤
Patina, nothings wrong.
I returned mine
I would take a fabric case any day of the week over a leather or just plain plastic one.
The point of fine woven is to replicate leather. Leather patinas build character
I think it looks nice, just keep it clean most people are just lazy so put in the daily habit to keep it in good condition!!
I love my fine-woven case. I clean it every 2 weeks like anybody should, ya grots! 😂

Only Spigen. Slim and durable.
Spigen is bad tbh, I've had many fails on their products, the only RELIABLE brand is UAG

I got the silicon instead
If there was leather i would hage gotten that but hugely disappointing
Sheeps 😂😂😂
What’s disgusting is you not wiping down your phone 🤮
Mujjo or Andar if you’re wanting a decently affordable leather case guys
I had a leather apple case, only lasted 6 months
Skill issue. My original 12 pro max leather case is still going along today.

Me with an otter box or similar protective case: rich people problems
Isn’t it meant to have this look though?
They should offer free refunds

I dont know what apple is thinking, literally the worst case in case history. Spigen/Rhinoshield/Mous are cheaper, protect and last longer!
Most Apple accessories are low quality. Especially their cases
Nomad case
just wipe it with a fucking wet cloth
I will always rather leather case
Fine Woven case is complete trash. It should be illegal to cost as much as the leather case
Maybe try cleaning your case once in a while.
Perhaps With all Thee Returns They’ll Be Getting Back From Those Cases , They Consider Bringing Back Leather.
I Mean at least Vegan Leather?
와 진짜 .. 깨끗한 사람이 써도 케이스때문에 뭔가 휴대폰 엄청 더럽게 쓰는 거 같네

Now take a toothbrush and clean it with soap. Brand new look just like that

What a disappointing case. I really thought it would be good
People still gonna buy it cause, hey, it's apple 😅
idk, I think people will buy it and then return it becasue of these issues.
yall just shitty at taking care of your phones mine is perfectly in tact
Apple silicon case is also crap
And Apple will say, "You are using it wrong"
Rokform babe
Apple case fitment is A1… But the durability man..🥲
Or just skip apple all together and buy better case from 3rd party
Aren’t cases supposed to show wear if it’s protecting your phone?
I never buy apple cases. Over priced junk
Apple silicone case is just as bad, it gets dirty, greasy, sticky etc
Go third party!
Apple should be trialed and sued over this case price & quality.
this looks disgusting. i don't like it.
Looks horrible 🫥
Just wash it with soap 🧼.. I am doing it once a week and mine looks like new 😉
