Manufacturing defect in Tech-woven case iphone 17 pro, develop bubbles within months of use

The techwoven case purchased for iphone 17 pro has developed air bubbles all along the sides within months of purchase. Neither the service centre nor the apple support did anything about it. Clearly it is a manufacturing defect, but they are not admitting about it. What can be done about this?

My case developed similar bubbles. I went to the store where I purchased it (Rome, Italy) and showed them. They immediately accepted the fault, drew a note and told me to expect to be contacted in five working days. I pointed out the fact that the case was available in the store, but they said that repair and sales are different channels, so I have to wait. Anyway, they mailed me after two weeks. I went and collected the new case, which one day later developed a bubble, this time on the back!

I have exactly the same problem with my tech woven case that the Apple sales rep in the store in NYC sold to me - literally raving about how good it was and worth the money. I bought it and within months it’s developed bubbles down the sides and bottom. I live in London so hope the London store will honour the warranty and replace it. But if anyone is reading this and considering this case as a premium purchase… I’d avoid it like the plague
