    Good. But fuck that faux pleather stuff too though, it doesn’t last long and is just microplastics waiting to end up in the environment. Get proper stainless steel one or even a good quality NATO strap.

      They’re doing a woven material. The article I saw said the rumor was using recycled nylon and polyester in some manner, but that was a rumor and I don’t know if it’s confirmed. But you could absolutely make a decent, reasonably rugged phone case with something in approximately the neighborhood of canvas.

      Stopping trying to be leather when it sucked was needed. If you’re not doing a relatively high quality grade of leather, it can’t handle the abuse, and what Apple had recently wasn’t that.

        I mean, polyester and nylon are also petroleum-based so will eventually degrade into microplastics as well…
