iPhone 15 cases may be synthetic leather, but these 'FineWoven' cases probably aren't it

I don't beilieve Apple ever actually made leather anything. They pay someone else to make them.

That said, I've never bought an Apple branded case for anything. There are plenty to choose from in the aftermarket, and they're all less expensive, have tons more options, and many are as high quality as Apple's branded offerings.

Still don't think leather is the best material for iPhone cases. A grippy rubber or plastic case has the best functionality.

Different strokes... I only use leather cases, usually Apple's. "Grippy" rubber or silcone cases do not easily slide into my pockets and generally look cheap and/or industrial. Don't need it to survive a fall from an airplane.

Not sliding easily into a pocket is a feature, not a deficit. The harder it is to slip in, the harder it is to slip out! Think about it…

Surprise surprise.  Apple hasn’t made anything (hard) of its own in a long time.  Your iPhone, your max, your Apple TV.  All made by someone else Apple is paying to manufacture for them.  Of course cases are also on that list. Cases are the least of what they (don’t) make

Fair point!
