In our modern world, manufactures keep working on making devices more eye-catching and attractive each time, as an example we have Apple with their increasingly  thinner new iPhones or Samsung with their updated Curved Glass and Metal flagships.

But then we put  a usually not so attractive case on them to protect them from falls and scratches, which is good, but as result we lost the precious look OEMs worked so hard to craft.

Let’s change that by adding a unique handcrafted case and a design that will make your phone look even better with the added protection.

Carved Cases

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Carved is an US-based company that makes real wood (literal real) cases and skins for iPhone, Galaxy and Nexus devices.

With different models to choose from, like:

Slim

shop-slim-case

A “snap on” case with a real wood back and polycarbonate at the sides to assure drop protection while keeping the natural look of the phone.

Traveler

shop-traveler-case

With a similar “snap on” design as before the Traveler cases add an extra layer of protection changing the slim style look for a “Rubber Bumper” cover that goes around the sides, giving the phone a bit of bulk but providing more coverage against drops than its predecessor.

Wood Skins

As the name implies there’s no “case” this time, but a laser cut and engraved wood vinyl for the back of your device (These are iPhone 4 or newer versions only)

Solid Wood Cases

Every piece is carefully selected from wood that is usually overlooked or thrown away. The cracks, knots and burls are where we find our most dramatic patterns and colors. Our unique hardening process creates an extremely strong, durable block that is precision machined into your next iPhone case.

These cases are one solid piece that will transform your phone into an art statement. With solid metal buttons and an open bottom to easy access your charging port and 3.5 jack; you will not find any extra cutouts on this beauty. (unfortunately for Android users, this model is also iPhone only)

Their cases come in a huge variety of designs, going from popular images to custom-made draws added by famous artists or if you prefer even your own design.
