Best advice? Don't eat KFC in this building. Another downside to the iPhone case is the leather edge, which is of course not leather.

- iPhone 15/15 Plus Cases /15 Pro/15 Pro Max
- Apple Watch bands with a modern buckle and magnetic loop

The #FineWoven case looks great and reflects light beautifully. Just a little worried about getting it dirty! #AppleEvent #iPhone15 pic.twitter.com/9hCLKgGEoM
