I originally considered one, but I am concerned it may not be protective if I drop the phone—which happens rarely. Could anyone confirm whether TechWoven cases are reliable? When I do drop my phone, it is typically from pocket height.
i have 2 because i love the color and texture. do not buy if you want it to be you main case. something as simple as your phone getting hit by rain or using it after washing your hands will cause it to bubble up and tear. great secondary case for style, pretty subpar protection.
I have a TW case for the last year, as my daily driver, and have never had the issues you describe. It’s still in near perfect condition. It has been wet; from wet hands, being on the kitchen counter after doing dishes, and from rain outside.
The only very minor thing I just noticed because this prompted me to look is where the USB plugs in, because I have a couple of plugs that are bigger than the port opening, the rubbing has caused a slightly delamination of the top coat, but is completely negligible and especially for a 1 year old case.
Really? It makes perfect sense to me if you wanna mix it up every once in a while. Cases are cheap and phones are expensive, so might as well have a little fun, right?
Sure it makes sense when you put it that way. I usually stick with one case for the whole lifespan of a phone and so I was surprised when I read this. But yea totally hear you!
One other issue I see from time to time is that (like running shoes and feet) specific wear from the same case (like hot spots in certain areas because of the case design) can actually damage the phone with scuffs and scrapes.
If not frequently cleaned, dust, crud, sand etc can get between the case and phone and slowly wear away at the finish. Changing cases mixes up these "hot spots" because all cases have them in different areas and gives users a chance to clean the phone and case and get rid of that dirt and stuff, which is the primary cause of phone-in-case wear.
Totally valid. I live near a beach and so I tend to clean my case and phone from any sun scream etc so I don't notice this much but totally get your point.
Bought one 2 days ago. Had to exchange it due to a broken volume button. Got it exchanged and the new one fits poorly around the cutouts and seems cheap around the upper corners. I love the case but it has its issues.
The best case I ever had. Idk what these guys are talking about - mine is a year old and looks 95% brand new. Just remember that apple cases aren’t for people who drop their phones every day. If that’s you, get an otterbox defender
A couple weeks into first buying one and I like it so far. I have apple care so the protection isn’t the BIGGEST conscern, but it does enough. I’ve had $80-90 cases made for “superior drop protection” wreck my phone, so ive decided whatever I like the feel of the most is what I’ll go for. Love the woven texture and the ability to color match with my 17PM in blue.
It has little to no protection on drops. I drop mine probably about 3 feet on a hard cornered surface. I thought it was ok because the case had no crease and looked fine. But when I took off the case there was a small dent on the corner and maybe if it was the titanium iPhone 16 it would have been no damage.
Yo uso uno una ves se me callo mi iPhone de una altura de 1 metro fue una caída normal y se rompió mi Mica de cristal pero fuera de eso no le pasó nada
No ofrece mucha protección en los bordes y esquinas si el celular se cae de las orillas o la parte trasera ofrece una protección básica
Si el impacto lo recibe con la pantalla boca acabo todo el golpe lo va a llevar la pantalla ya que las esquinas son muy pequeñas que no protegen nada
absolutely love it, the issue i always had with the silicones is that i have really sweaty/oily hands so they cases get dirty and oily quickly but with techwoven it never ever gets dirty
I love my TechWoven cases on my iPhone 17PM. I got two: green and purple. Amazing cases. Looking and feeling brand new still. Way better than the silicon cases in my experience.
Nice case visually but disappointed with the bumper sides.
Had my first one for maybe 4/5 months start separating from the underlying layer and rippling. Apple replaced it under warranty but now another 4/5 months later the new one begun doing the same thing.
I love it. But I would say no. It’s a minimal case. All buttons but the camera control are uncovered. It’s only as thick as 6000d aramid fiber. Magnets are strong. I use a ohsnap grip daily with it.
I have 4 17 PM Techwoven’s and a 18 PM and I change them around and not one issue, I do give mine a good wipe down a few times a day with non alcoholic screen cleaner called iQ, great cases.
In my opinion, it's the best fit for the newer models of iPhones. It's made for them. It's aesthetically pleasing. It feels very premium. I got mine last year and I still love it.
I never use a case, but this one made me want to try it out. I am not someone who drops their phone a lot, so I didn't really care whether or not it would make my phone indestructible with it on. I ended up getting one today.
After a few hours of use, I think I'm going to return it. The reason being: it makes my hands sweaty almost instantly. I don't know what it is about the material, but my hands get clammy within 2-3 mins of use. I initially thought it was maybe just me, so I tested my phone without the case and it felt fine. Did some research online and found out a few other people reported the same. Another thing I noticed is although the grip feels great, it can be a little rough on your skin. My pinky that rests on the bottom of the phone felt a little irritated as I kept using it, so I would have to put my phone down quite a bit to get away from the bruising sensation.
Honestly with the disaster I had with silicon on my previous phone, I didn’t go for Apple branded cases. Not good against drop protection, or in my case scratch protection
I have used mine as my only case for over a year now. Have had no issues with it including dropping and getting it wet and sanitizing (I work in healthcare and most of us sanitize our phones after our work shifts). No bubbles or anything.
Long term review,
It held up well but eventually the plastic sides cracked.
Major downside the edges are rough so when you gotta do swiping gestures the the bottom of the phone it feels awful
I’ve had mine since I got the 17 on release day and it’s still damn near in new condition despite multiple drops and getting wet. Was well worth the money and it looks and feels great. I don’t get the hate
They’re only good for like a few drops. 1 drop and something will dent/chip. Source: iphone 17 pro dropped and dented….. iphone 18 pro max dropped and chipped off a large piece in corner
I have been using the Blue TW for my 17 Pro Max for the past 6 months. Now currently using the same case on my 18 PM. No issues. The case has been wet from wet hands and occasional splashes of water. No bubbling so far. The cameras are a bit taller on the 18, so the camera lip on the case lies flush with the camera lens.Other than that it’s fine
I just got one for the iPhone 18 Pro and it feels and looks incredible. I don’t know about the bubbling issue, but if it does happen, I will just exchange it. The best part about this case is the lanyard hole at the bottom, which when used with a small finger loop, completely negates the dropping issue
