Hey, there were good intentions! The FineWoven box appeared as a skin substitute about a year ago. Instead of an environmentally unfriendly animal product, Apple asked us to buy boxes made from 68 percent post-consumer recycled content.
The material looked like a little it looked like leather in the press shots, but the reality was a material that was both smooth and scratchy, a surface easily marred by the exact kinds of objects it could share space with in a bag. In short: a fantastic opportunity for third-party iPhone case manufacturers.
When skin gets older… does it get better? There is a patina. The Finewoven boxes were scratched and stained even when they were only a few days old. So it’s no big surprise that there aren’t any new FineWoven color schemes or iPhone 16 compatible FineWoven cases. They went.
This is not quite the end of FineWoven. The material will live in a MagSafe walletavailable in four different colors and more Apple Watch straps. If you’re looking for a new (but official) iPhone look, here’s how you happen to look at these Beats themed iPhone 16 cases? They are not microwaves; they are hard plastic.
