Mine is on its way to me. Everyone seems to be disappointed in their quality and returning them. I'm thinking I should just tell UPS to return to sender.

I've been trying to search for an alternative case but I'm not liking the ones I'm seeing. Apple really dropped the ball with both colors and moving away from leather.

Try it out. Maybe you will like it. I just really don't like the feel of it. It also feels like any sort of moisture or even oils from skin will cause some bad staining.

256 GB Natural Pro Max switched to Preparing to Ship earlier today. Anyone else? CDT btw

512 GB Black ProMax is in Preparing to Ship stage and I'm CDT. Got confirmation at 7:05am

Yes I was being a bit sarcastic I was surprised we got one at all. Can you imagine if we'd had a Year Without An iPhone?

I actually thought that 2020 would be the year that we would NOT have an iPhone. I'm glad we did, though.

Got my blue woven fabric case today and it is going right back. Hate the feel of it. Feels like a scratchier type of suede. I do not see how this thing will stay looking nice more than a couple of days, even if babied.

another one bites the dust

It comes with a 3 foot basic cable, if that. I stocked up on Anker charging blocks and cables. This charging block: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4YTB56H?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

As with the leather cases, don't think of it as staining; think of it as a patina. 😀

I’ve had the belkin 3 in 2 for a while now.

I’m very happy with it. It charges the watch, phone, and AirPods all at once

 

[hungryteresa]

Wasn’t that the Covid year? With the China lockdowns we were lucky to get iPhones at all.

It was (2020)! Then our Citizens loan payments were all messed up for the iPhone 13 Pro because we didn't have 12 payments completed in time for the September 2021 launch. Can't believe that was 3 years ago??

 

[JeffnotGeoff]

I’m not gonna lie. I’m a little irritated that I got a Oct 9 - 16 date. All because of the issues with the site . Trying to be optimistic 🥹

I hear ya there. It might have been easier to accept if it was an error you made that delayed it or something because then you can only blame yourself lol. But when it’s completely out of your control like that, it’s annoying. Hopefully it might even get delivered before the date range you’ve been quoted 🤞🏻

Wow! that sucks. Thank you for your honest review. Seems like Apple dropped the ball with the Woven case.

[JBinPDX]

Could either of you please tell me how thin the case is? This is the first time i've wanted an Apple case because the fabric will help me with grip and my sweaty palms. It seems like its thin enough that I wont mind it but as someone who has no case or a thin case from Totallee / peel / amazon brand (torras, etc), I am picky when it comes to other cases. The being grippy plus easy to clean is the main reason I want this case.

It's pretty thin. I think it has less bulk than the leather case I have on my 14 Pro. I like thin cases also, and this case would be fine for me a far as bulk goes. I'm not sure how easy it is to clean. Someone on Twitter took one apart. It has a very thin layer of memory foam in the back.

That graphic is missing the XS.

Me, I started with the original iPhone.

Wow! Started with the Original iPhone. Mad respect! That's so cool.

Have you been upgrading every year?

Welcome! Glad to see you are going well. Haven't you been hunting for a while for awhile now?

I actually thought that 2020 would be the year that we would NOT have an iPhone. I'm glad we did, though.

Same! Somehow Apple pulled it off. It was really a rough year with COVID-19. I think they launched the iPhone 12 Pro Max sometime in October/November. It was out late! Crazy times. I remember tracking the flights was so hard during that time. Apple solely relied on CargoLux. It was just crazy! The iPhone 12 Pre-Order Shipping thread is pretty interesting as I speak. The tracking history is all over the place and it's very unpredictable. I remember almost everyone was quarantined too.

Always go with a tried and true method when it comes to cases. I've been using the apple silicone cases since the iPhone 6 and they never failed me.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I wound be interested in Apple’s take on an ultra-thin case - which I think is the case the devices come in. But still…

We sould write a letter to Tim Cook and let him know the new Apple Woven case quality sucks. Silicon cases seems more durable and a better choice this year.

Didn't everybody? Just kidding. I stood in line at the AT&T store in Lanham, MD for the original iPhone on Jun 29, 2007. First in, first out. The crowd cheered as I came out of the store. Also upgraded every year since then.👍

I didn't LOL! I was in high school and I was too broke. All the rich kids had it in high school tho. This is when Motorola RAZR & Sidekick phones were also very popular. Flex on another level!
