Koa Wood Phone Case, Wave Design, All Models

Regular price Sale price$39.00
/

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

  • Slim case design (all the protection, none of the bulk)
  • Sustainably HarvestedΒ Big Island Koa (noΒ 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/Β 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 IΒ then hand sand, finish with water-based poly, laser cut, sip a beer, etch aΒ design, apply inkΒ andΒ assemble. Like I said, pretty muchΒ ridiculousness...but it makes a super uniqueΒ 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 inΒ Hawaii and was once reserved for royalty. Β 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.

OUTSTANDING !!!

Perfect fit. Nice and slim. Have received several compliments. Happy I selected the Redwood. One question. I haven't done the best job of protecting the lovely wood. What is the best method of cleaning it? Not sure how water might negatively affect the raw wood. Thank you for a SUPER product... the quality is unrivaled... :)

Sirmons -PONO Cell Phone Case

Grat cover, protects well (I have dropped the phone several times & no damage), is very attractive and a great improvement over basic plastic covers.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely love it!

It's just a beautiful as the photos on the web and fits my Galaxy S24 Ultra perfectly. I didn't get this for others' opinions but have already gotten some comments about how cool it is.
