Apple Debuts TechWoven iPhone 17 Cases, Revives FineWoven Wallets and Key Rings

Apple’s latest move replaces leather with recycled fabric following FineWoven case failures.

Overview

  • TechWoven cases for iPhone 17 use a custom technical fabric made from 100% recycled polyester with TPU‑coated sides, aluminium buttons, and built‑in MagSafe magnets.
  • Apple introduced new FineWoven MagSafe wallets priced at $59 and AirTag key rings priced at $35 in colors including Fox Orange, Midnight Purple, Navy, Moss, and Black.
  • The announcements came during Apple’s September iPhone 17 event, positioning TechWoven as the company’s successor to its discontinued FineWoven cases.
  • Apple halted FineWoven iPhone case production in 2024 after widespread complaints about staining, fraying, and overall durability compared with its former leather options.
  • Reviewers say TechWoven’s real‑world durability remains unproven and will be assessed as users get hands‑on experience with the new cases.
