Apple’s FineWoven iPhone cases, touted as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional leather, have found themselves in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Amazon, the e-commerce giant, has taken a notable step by adding a “frequently returned item” warning label to these cases on its product listings.

 

The FineWoven cases, while promising durability and protection, have faced criticism from users. Reports indicate that they are prone to scratches and discoloration. Many customers have expressed dissatisfaction, leading to a surge in returns and one-star reviews. The case’s microtwill material, though marketed as rugged, falls short of expectations. Scratches from everyday objects like keys or fingernails are easily visible and seemingly permanent, which is far from ideal for a product priced at $59.

 

Amazon’s decision to label the FineWoven cases as “frequently returned” raises eyebrows. While not every owner may have encountered issues, the warning serves as a cautionary note for potential buyers. Interestingly, Amazon also employs a contrasting label for better-received products: “customers usually keep this item”. The FineWoven’s reputation now bears this black mark, leaving consumers wondering about the true quality of these cases.

$594 is kind of steep for a case, unless it already includes a phone inside...

 

"The case’s microtwill material, though marketed as rugged, falls short of expectations. Scratches from everyday objects like keys or fingernails are easily visible and seemingly permanent, which is far from ideal for a product priced at $594."

I think that should be $59.00, as per your own article's content:
