The back has a rough fabric feel and even the sides are all a bit rough, there&rsquo;s no smooth part of this case. I&rsquo;m getting more used to this over the few days I&rsquo;ve had it, but I wouldn&rsquo;t say I love it. it feels a bit like polyester to me, and I don&rsquo;t mean that as a compliment. It&rsquo;s not terrible by any means, and I&rsquo;m sure other people will enjoy this, but it&rsquo;s just not my favorite.<\/p><p>[&#8230;]<\/p><p>For what it&rsquo;s worth, I dug my iPhone 15 pro&rsquo;s FineWoven case out of the drawer and held it again. Woof, it&rsquo;s just as bad as I remember. The sides feel cheap, while the back feels unpleasant <em>and cheap<\/em>. It&rsquo;s fine (heh) if you dig it, but it really ain&rsquo;t for me. TechWoven is a step in the right direction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@simonbs\/115234719734647548\">Simon B.

They&rsquo;re similar to those on the official leather cases that I&rsquo;ve used for years, but they feel slightly more tactile.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the TechWoven case feels like a pretty solid replacement for the leather case. It has a similar warm and soft feel that the leather has.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p id=\"iphone-17-accessories-update-2025-10-04\">Update (<a href=\"#iphone-17-accessories-update-2025-10-04\">2025-10-04<\/a>): <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/privatetalky\/status\/1973418842543304885\">Private Talky<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/x.com\/privatetalky\/status\/1973418842543304885\"><p>Apple&rsquo;s discontinued iPhone cases.<\/p><p>Which was your favorite?<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitchel Broussard: Apple today announced the newest generation of iPhone with the iPhone Air, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro.
