It's like wrapping your phone in a beautiful tree.

Considering that the average smartphone user takes out their phone more than 220 times a day, you might want to invest in a nice case. Wood is generally prettier than plastic, and while there are a variety of wooden phone cases to choose from, most of them have some visible plastic or rubber that totally distracts from that outdoorsy vibe you're going for.

Luckily, the Woodline case for iPhone 6 and 6s is made by Pad & Quill, has a 100 percent wooden exterior. OK, it’s not all wood: Unless it was a quarter-inch thick, a totally wooden phone case would probably crack when dropped. The outer wooden shell is filled with Aramid fibers, the same stuff used on drumheads and jet engine enclosures.

If you prefer keeping your phone in your pocket, the Woodline is ultra-thin so you can easily do so. Seriously: According to Pad & Quill, it's as thin as a dime, so it’s definitely not going add any noticeable bulk.

The cases are all handcrafted out of real wood, so each one looks different and is engraved by the carpenter who made it. The cases come in four different types of wood: American Cherry, Rosewood, Zebra, or American Walnut, so you can pick the grain that most suits your daily grind. The case is currently available for preorder and will begin shipping next week.
