Recently, Apple’s decision to stop producing leather accessories in favor of cases and bands made from renewable and eco-friendly materials has prompted iPhone users to search for alternative options. After testing several cases for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, we have identified six recommended models. These cases not only provide protection but also feature physical buttons for the new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro.
Controversial New Competitor
The FineWoven cases were designed as a response to the gaps left by Apple’s leather cases. Despite initial controversy surrounding these cases, they offer a similar appearance to aging leather and have sturdy back panels. However, some users find the plastic frame and stitching of the case slightly uncomfortable. It is recommended to test this case at an Apple store before making a purchase.
Excellent Leather Cases for Most People
Nomad cases are popular among iPhone users who are looking for new leather cases. Available in full-grain eco-leather or vegetable-tanned leather versions, these cases are tactile and have physical buttons for the Action button. They are a reliable alternative to Apple’s leather cases, and many users have no complaints after extended use.
The Golden Locks Award Goes to…
Bullstrap leather cases have won the hearts of many with their softness and similarity to Apple’s cases. They are comfortable from the first use and age beautifully. Although they are slightly more expensive ($89, currently available with a $75 discount), they have a camera bump that is not as pronounced as in other cases and no screen lip on the screen side, making it easier to slide in from the edge. The soft inner lining is an additional bonus, comparable to Bellroy cases.
In summary, as Apple abandons leather products in favor of more environmentally friendly options, these alternatives offer iPhone users variety in choice, providing protection, functionality, and stylish looks. Each mentioned case has its unique features, allowing users to choose the one that best suits their needs and preferences.
