I really like my FineWoven case, I was hoping they would revise them rather than do away with it entirely. I had to get a replacement for my first one because the sides were peeling (which Apple replaced for free) but the replacement has been fine.
However they don’t age well, especially the ones in any colour other than black, so I can see why they did it. Still, I prefer it over any other case I’ve owned. Feels nice in hand, thinner than any previous Apple case while still providing great drop protection, smooth but not slippy, it had a lot going for it.
I got mine replaced due to the sides peeling as well (covered under warranty) and the replacement is now peeling after only a few months. Hopefully whatever is next is a little more durable - even the leather cases the last few years lacked in that area.
Get it replaced again now, they’ll cover another replacement but not for long.
I would but I’m getting the 16 pro when it comes out so not worth the effort.
