Upgrading to pleather.

Fancy.

You mean "Organic Vegan Leather" right? This is Apple so we gotta get the name just right.

That’s what I figured they’d jump to. It matches their branding focused and fixes the problem with their premium cases.

Honestly, they should’ve been faux leather from the jump. A lot of that stuff has become pretty good over the past decade. You don’t get some of the cool wear marks, but the good stuff is really durable and looks nice for a long time. It’s not the faux leather from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

“Premium” pleather for $50-60, I’m sure.
