    Apple cases are shit. Good thing yours is still in warranty. Take it back and they’ll replace it immediately. Warranty is a year (I literally just replaced mine). Also AppleCare covers it, so even if you’re out of warranty for the case, if your phone is in warranty you can still get it replaced.

      Or, you know, buy a better case from a more reputable company.

      Yes I know what community this is and that I’ll just get downvoted. But if it’s accepted that you have to rely on warranty because the product is bad, then why the heck would one support that demonstrably bad product?

        To cut costs!

        I had an iPhone X with an Apple black leather case for 4 years and it was good, now I have the iPhone 14 with an Apple purple leather case for over a year and it’s mostly lost color and became black, but the integrity is ok.

        Sorry I’m just saying that if you spent the crazy amount of money on the case, you probably want to get some use out of it before moving on to a different case. At least that’s what I thought. The Apple case is shit, but I’m going to keep taking it in for warranty if it keeps breaking at least until I’ve gotten like two years out of it.

    wow! Is the case really that bad?

    don’t take it wrong, did your wife do anything to the case or does it just turn like that under normal circumstances?

    That’s why I just get those $12 generic clear phone cases with free screen protectors on amazon. My current case is 3 years old and looks perfectly fine.

    My silicone case is about 1.5 years old and the corners are starting to peel. First and last Apple case for me. I think it was $70 (cad). I feel like I should email Tim to complain.
