Apple cases are shit. Good thing yours is still in warranty. Take it back and they’ll replace it immediately. Warranty is a year (I literally just replaced mine). Also AppleCare covers it, so even if you’re out of warranty for the case, if your phone is in warranty you can still get it replaced.
Or, you know, buy a better case from a more reputable company.
Yes I know what community this is and that I'll just get downvoted. But if it's accepted that you have to rely on warranty because the product is bad, then why the heck would one support that demonstrably bad product?
To cut costs!
I had an iPhone X with an Apple black leather case for 4 years and it was good, now I have the iPhone 14 with an Apple purple leather case for over a year and it’s mostly lost color and became black, but the integrity is ok.
Sorry I’m just saying that if you spent the crazy amount of money on the case, you probably want to get some use out of it before moving on to a different case. At least that’s what I thought. The Apple case is shit, but I’m going to keep taking it in for warranty if it keeps breaking at least until I’ve gotten like two years out of it.
Inside of EU it has to be 2 years.
That’s why I just get those $12 generic clear phone cases with free screen protectors on amazon. My current case is 3 years old and looks perfectly fine.
Oh just get a Spigen and stop settling for garbage. They're cheap and handle anything you throw at them.
I always get Spigen. Low cost, lasts forever. Highly recommend.
Incipio cases are nice aswell
Is used to like the leather cases that these things replaced. These things are such a downgrade.
Both Bullstrap and Ryan London do a leather case that's higher quality and more durable than the first-party Apple cases ever were.
Fuck everything with a material that looks like that idk if it's an adhesive problem but the Surface keyboards like that are simply the worst
wow! Is the case really that bad?
don’t take it wrong, did your wife do anything to the case or does it just turn like that under normal circumstances?
I think between my family and I, we have purchased three Apple cases over the years. All three didn't survive their first year. Apple cases are a terrible investment. They are expensive, don't protect your screen, and aren't durable. They start to look like crap over time too.
Duck tape would have worked better
I’ve got an Apple leather case from 2020 that’s still going. Edges are peeling, though, which started about a year ago max. Sounds like newer ones aren’t as good
My silicone case is about 1.5 years old and the corners are starting to peel. First and last Apple case for me. I think it was $70 (cad). I feel like I should email Tim to complain.
The silicon case in the house is several months old and is already doing the same.
Mine is fine. I did spray it with scotchgard though.
