Although one has to ask... When is the last time you ran your fingernail along your jeans and left a permanent indentation?

Fair enough. Scotchgarded mine. Didn’t change the colour at all.
I like the look and feel of the case. Will see about lifespan. Will likely get a leather case when it eventually fails.

I’m sticking with Otterbpx.

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.

From Apple’s online store:
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.

Ah, it’s made of “post-consumer recycled content”.
I love products made of “content”.
I guess the word “plastic” has been banned by the apple marketing team.

Except that it’s very likely, if not already verified, that the fibers are made from recycled plastic…

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.
