Tough as Nails: Wood Cases for iPhone
September 22nd, 2009
Anyway you slice it, these cases are a good as it gets! Whether you choose hardwoods or sustainable bamboo, you’ll have the coolest, sleekest iPhone case around.
Why choose wood?
Wood is tough stuff - it’s nature’s version of carbon fiber. Naturally rigid and impact-resistant, when reinforced with steel pins, it’s serious protection for your iPhone.
For every tree Vers uses, they replant 100 through our partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation and the US Forestry Service to re-forest areas damaged by fire and other natural disasters.
Why choose bamboo?
Did you know Bamboo is actually a grass? …and like your lawn, it can be harvested many times without harming the plant itself. Bamboo grows faster then any other species, sometimes 3’ per day, reaching a harvestable height in only 3 months, compared to 40 - 60 years for a typical hard-wood species. It can also produce 35% more oxygen per acre than a stand of trees.
Since mature Bamboo is harvested by hand, there is far less energy ‘invested’ (and less CO2 produced) in processing Bamboo than wood or just about any other production material. Harder and more dimensionally stable than Oak, with strength characteristics equal to steel, you couldn’t ask for a tougher, more environmentally thoughtful material.

This may be a dumb question, but how does it open? Like a book? Or does the iphone slide out? I’d love to see a photo of it open. Just wondering how easy it will be to access the phone. Thanks!

Can you still use the camera on the iphone with the wood case on?

Hi Ladies,
Great questions. Here are a few answers:
Katie and Laurel the phone easily slides out, there is a finger groove in the back for easy ejection!
Shannon you cannot use your camera phone while it is in the case.
