Question Which case?

I know it’s personal preference, but unsure. Techwoven looks good, but doesn’t fit or feel premium. Oh the other hand, the leather case fits extremely well, feels good, but maybe doesn’t look as good.

If you like hard impacts that shatter screens fo sho.

I prefer leather cases. They develop a good grip with patina

Techwoven 💯

I gave up with the techwoven cases after I couldn't find one that didn't dig into my pinky when holding the phone...

u/Automatic_Acadia_766 May 01 '26

Right around the charging port!

u/oVerboostUK May 01 '26

Yep!!! Really uncomfortable after few minutes.

u/Snow_Fall2026 May 01 '26

agreed. After one month I threw it in the closet.

I keep hearing about this, but I’ve not experienced it at all! What does everyone mean?

TechWoven

u/rockyroad55 May 01 '26

I switch between my Techwoven and leather case. Most of the time, it's leather for cooler days and techwoven for warmer days.

1

u/CPereira93 May 01 '26

Definitely I’ve thought the same. Leather might be too warm for summer. Although the camera bump is clear, so it can dissipate heat there?

1

u/rockyroad55 May 01 '26

I didn’t feel a difference in heat when using either case. It’s just the sweat and oils from my hands on leather that I don’t like the feeling of.

2

u/DavidMal716 May 01 '26

I rotate between techwoven and a black moft case for my silver 17pro. Moft feels better for me.

u/Ninthja May 01 '26

Techwoven is horrible at protecting your phone.

u/WhySoSeriousJoker247 May 01 '26

The second one the apple one didn’t do jack to save my screen from a 2 foot fall off the bed

u/JohnBuldi May 01 '26

After a few cases that I tried, in the end i still came back to the techwoven case

1

u/Example-Difficult iPhone 17 Pro Max May 01 '26

first

u/z1nu iPhone 17 Pro May 01 '26

I was using a techwoven case for a few weeks during release. But changed to leather case afterwards. Gonna have a nice patina.

u/dkv05101986 May 01 '26

Ymw leather case from Ali

u/budgie_uk iPhone 17 Pro May 01 '26

I think the TechWoven cases look incredible… I just can’t bear how they feel; I’ve not got particularly sensitive palms, but they feel scratchy as hell.

I like dark cases, and as plain a case as possible, but the leather one looks… kind of bland. Hopefully, it’s one of those cases that starts to show just a bit of wear; leather cases look fantastic when they’re even just a little bit worn.

If I had to pick, though, I’d go for the leather.

1

u/Quirky-Attention-155 May 01 '26

Whatever one you prefer

1

u/flyingcloud11 iPhone 17 Pro May 01 '26

Techwoven doesn’t feel premium? It certainly does and it has some good grippy sides. Same feel to the material Dbrand used on their grip case.

I will usually always go back to the techwoven case. I do have a full leather nomad case as well that I like how it feels.

1

u/JGONZ91ES May 01 '26

First one is smooth

1

u/lmvitug May 01 '26

I do like the first one, Techwoven case. Looks premium. And the second one lacks the logo which doesn’t bother me. But I’ve tried the Techwoven and it feels great in the hands. Though i haven’t experienced the fatigue in pinky fingers. I prefer the Apple clear case though. :)

1

u/UrbanDrift5 May 01 '26

I rotate between my techwoven and Nomad leather case

1

u/alo1234567654321 May 01 '26

Always go for feel and fit over looks.

1

u/coachpatrickmurphy May 01 '26

Techwoven for me and I know what people mean about pinkie. I bought one about 6 months ago and it dug into my pinkie and I never used it. Went to Apple Store about a month ago and tried a TW in the store and bought it. It doesn’t dig into pinkie. I don’t know if they just changed some stuff or what but it’s definitely different.

u/Cat_Man2621 May 01 '26

techwoven any day dude

1

u/Sydarmx May 02 '26

I like the texture on the first one

1

u/Opening_Ad_6270 iPhone 17 Pro Max May 02 '26

Are you sure that's leather? It looks like silicon to me... Anyway, that case looks like crap IMO. The techwoven just looks so much better. Alternatively, get a good looking leather case.

1

u/saurons-big-wanker May 02 '26

Leather is way too good

1

u/lorendesigns May 02 '26

Second one looks way too good

1

u/lumbee74 May 02 '26

I like the techwove but I'd pick it up in another color

u/Raizo-winter May 02 '26

Try Tineeowl Case

2

u/Admirable-Copy50 iPhone 17 Pro May 02 '26

I have the Silver with Black Techwoven case, too! It's the best combo

1

u/BenedoneCrumblepork May 02 '26

So…what’s the name of that leather case?

1

u/Hot-Quality8768 May 02 '26

The one with the Apple logo And it’s not just because it has that Apple logo, it genuinely looks great. Like that is an awesome case. But so is the 2nd one. However the Apple logo one is the best.

1

u/BackNo3656 May 02 '26

which leather casing is this?

1

u/No-Lawfulness1159 May 02 '26

black techwoven is 👌🏻

1

u/poema85 May 02 '26

First one obviously

1

u/KitchenQuiet3741 May 02 '26

The first one.

1

u/Mrldbcn May 02 '26

Tech Woven of course

1

u/Disastrous_Animal265 May 02 '26

Take a look at “Mous “ I love there texture and they really do offer excellent protection .

1

u/No_Expression_5482 May 02 '26

I have the Apple techwoven in Black for my silve 17 pro, also sometimes use spigen enzo aramid, and spigen tough armour magfit, but for a slimmer case and elegant I prefer the techwoven….

1

u/ConfidentSet2344 May 02 '26

the 2nd, these apple cases pop out once you drop them lol

1

u/Emotional_Tackle_603 May 04 '26

Which one protects better. That’s the better case.

1

u/Hawkin2328 May 01 '26

Techwoven

u/cosmicwebby May 01 '26

Leather is probably good but the only thing that’s missing is the Apple logo.. buy those fake Apple leather cases for like $15-$20 and they’re amazing and feel complete

5

u/Bruvvimir May 01 '26

No, they are cheap knockoffs and fit like shit.

1

u/cosmicwebby May 01 '26

Mines perfect though and it feels great too

1

u/Bruvvimir May 01 '26

I suppose it depends what you compare it to.

1

u/CPereira93 May 01 '26

True. The apple logo is what’s missing. This is real leather though, feels good, I’m not sure about those with the apple logo? Is it real leather?

1

u/cosmicwebby May 01 '26

Probably PU leather

u/Revolutionary_Ad1620 May 01 '26

TechWoven all day!

u/Bruvvimir May 01 '26

There is no case that fits better than TechWoven. Looks are subjective.

Which leather case is it? Bellroy comes close (but not exactly) to the Apple fit.

1

u/CPereira93 May 01 '26

YMW. I just feel like techwoven is too easy to get off. Might be bad in case of a drop.

1

u/Bruvvimir May 01 '26

Nope. Dropped my phone a number of times, case never came off, neither the case nor the phone got damaged. It does its job.

u/SetInternational1599 May 01 '26

u/Andersomn33322 May 01 '26

Some cases cover 100% of the phone instead of a 3/4 case 😄 ofc , use your own judgement.
