The cases were made from a nylon fabric that was built in large part from recycled plastic obtained from plastic bottles. Really, it sounds a whole lot like what Google was doing with fabric cases on several of its Pixel phones.įor every Pixel from the Pixel 2 through the Pixel 5, Google released cases that had a fabric finish, with cases released towards the later years that were definitely a woven style. This is said to be a move for “environmental and sustainability,” implying that these new “FineWoven” cases might be made from recycled or eco-conscious materials. Our sister site 9to5Mac reports that Apple is set to adopt a new “woven-textured style” for its first party cases to replace the iconic leather designs.

That’s a style of case that Google Pixel users are quite familiar with, so here are a few things to keep in mind as Apple prepares to revive the cases Google never should have killed off. Apple is apparently set to ditch leather cases on the iPhone 15 series and, in its place, adopt a new “woven” fabric case as 9to5Mac reports.
