The new FineWoven iPhone cases are very bad,” according to my colleague Allison Johnson, so you probably shouldn’t buy one. Still, I’ve been curious to learn more about them, and iFixit’s new teardown just gave me even more information than I could have thought to ask for: it put one of the new cases under a microscope, tested how it stood up to things like hot sauce and coffee, and tore the thing apart — and, best of all, photographed every step of the way.

There are some incredible zoomed-in photos of the fabric, for example; that black thing in a post from iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens is a human hair included for scale! Another photo shows how the fibers are affected when cut by a knife — it’s not pretty.

The rest

Looks like Apple’s FineWoven cases are more like FineWobbly :D iFixit’s teardown makes them look like they wouldn’t survive a toddler’s snack attack, lol

Haha, exactly. I had the same experience with them :) Idk I don't buy popular stuff like this anymore, I just use the most basic case I found at a local shop and I'm happy with it.
