Surprisingly affordable wooden iPhone skins

Now that Apple's giving away cases for your iPhone, you're going to really have to go off the beaten path to find something that gives your phone a more original look than the standard neon bumper. Enter these classy wooden skins sold by KARVT, which not only separate your iPhone from the crowd but also look pretty darn good (if you ask me).

And I was surprised at the prices, too; the iPhone 4 cases are only US $25 (with pre-orders going on right now), and the iPhone 3GS cases are $14 (I guess because they're clearing them out). I can't vouch for the quality at all, and the wood looks pretty thin, so it's probably not quite as durable as the rubber bumpers that you get for free. But as long as you're careful with it, I think it's a pretty good look at a more than reasonable price.

Its looks nice. The skins come in nine different wooden finishes, from a light natural pine to a deep chocolate walnut. I like to buy one.

That's not wood silly, it's bamboo.

That's cheap veneer. Pricey, but if you want real wood take a look at https://www.miniot.com/webshop

I have been using skins on my phones since the 3G... My issue with the 4, the bumper and the skins is that when you put the bumper on the phone the skin bubbles up on the sides and you have to keep smoothing it down...

Could you still put a bumper over these?

Now that's a good idea. Makes me curious enough to try and find out, I think.

A nice counter-balance to all the silicon covers.

The 3G is cheaper because it's just the front skin.
