Koa Wood Phone Case, Wave Design, All Models

$39.00
/

Shoots...just the straight awesomeness of the most amazing Hawaiian curly grained Koa on the planet wrapped in a case designed with minimal bulk and maximum protection. Our wave design draws its inspiration from the Japanese woodblock prints that have weaved their way into the fabric of Hawaii.

  • Slim case design (all the protection, none of the bulk)
  • Sustainably Harvested Big Island Koa (no guilt here)
  • Drop tested and approved (we're like drunken sailors around the shop)
  • Protection on all sides (including raised front lip to protect the screen)
  • Made in Hawaii (yes that's still considered made in the USA)
  • Free and Easy Returns/ Exchanges
  • Free and Fast Shipping...we make a bunch, send them from Hawaii to our shipping peeps in Florida, they ship next business day...for the win!

The cases are a combination of hard plastic backer and soft TPU sides which will bounce when dropped...we don't recommend testing that although we're pretty sure you'll find out eventually. All this work to create a one of a kind reminder of the islands...The Islands are Calling.

 

HAND MADE IN HAWAII...DID WE MENTION THAT BIT OF RIDICULOUSNESS

A ton of work goes into getting you the perfect phone case...here's the rundown...I hand pick every piece of Koa for amazing grain patterns which I then hand sand, finish with water-based poly, laser cut, sip a beer, etch a design, apply ink and assemble. Like I said, pretty much ridiculousness...but it makes a super unique wood phone case.

SHOOTS...BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WOOD?

We use only the finest sustainably harvested "curly" grained Koa wood from the Big Island of Hawaii. Koa only grows in Hawaii and was once reserved for royalty.  It was used for the first surfboards, warrior's weapons and the outrigger sailing canoes that explored the Pacific.

YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CASE...

two words...drunken sailers...that's what we are like in the shop...dropping and generally mistreating our phones. The case bouces when dropped (take my word for it) and protects nicely while being as thin as possible...cause who wants a brick in their pocket.

THE ISLANDS ARE CALLING... HELLOOOO!

The perfect reminder of Hawaii that will literally go everywhere with you. Don't forget to grab one as a gift for someone missing the islands.

SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION

...if you can call it that. Each case is made in my shop...I sand, finish with poly, laser etch and cut, assemble, and ink every case that goes out the door. No wonder I'm not surfing these days.

Beautiful phone cases!

I recently purchased koa phone cases from Pono Woodworks, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision. These cases are a perfect blend of **elegance and durability**. The natural koa wood finish is absolutely stunning, giving my phone a unique and sophisticated look that stands out from the crowd.

**Craftsmanship**: The craftsmanship is top-notch. Each case is meticulously crafted, ensuring a perfect fit for my phone. The smooth finish and precise cutouts make it incredibly easy to access all buttons and ports without any hassle.

**Protection**: Despite its sleek design, the case offers excellent protection. It has already saved my phone from a couple of accidental drops, and there isn't a single scratch on it. The combination of wood and a sturdy inner layer provides robust protection without adding unnecessary bulk.

**Sustainability**: I also appreciate Pono Works' commitment to sustainability. Knowing that the koa wood is sourced responsibly adds an extra layer of satisfaction to my purchase. It's great to support a company that values both quality and the environment.

**Customer Service**: The customer service was outstanding. My order arrived promptly, and the packaging was eco-friendly and secure. It's clear that Pono Woodworks takes pride in their products and cares about their customers.

Overall, I highly recommend the koa phone cases from Pono Woodworks to anyone looking for a stylish, protective, and eco-friendly phone case. It's a purchase you won't regret!
