There are lots of wooden iPhone cases on the market, but most of them are surprisingly fragile, and some you can even break just putting on your phone! Fortunately Pad & Quill has you covered with its Woodline real wood iPhone case, with some secrets up its sleeve! Dave Taylor of http://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ slips one on his own iPhone 6s and really likes the case, except for one tiny glitch...

Dave tail here again and this time I'm
0:07
looking at my naked phone that's not
0:09
entirely naked I have a screen protector
0:10
on the front but I need a case
0:13
so when patent quill said Dave we've got
0:16
this wood line case we want you to check
0:17
out I said Wow I've had bad experiences
0:21
with wood cases in the past some of them
0:24
actually break as I put them on the
0:26
phone and others have broken just days
0:28
or weeks after there are some weak spots
0:30
in the way they're designed they said no
0:32
what we have is different so they sent
0:34
me their beautiful gift boxed case now
0:38
this looks like a regular wood case but
0:41
turns out that it actually has let me
0:45
get this right DuPont Kevlar aramid
0:48
fiber polymer core so what this means is
0:52
it looks like it's just wood but there's
0:54
more going on inside so really the proof
0:57
of the pudding is to go ahead and
0:59
actually put the case on the phone so
1:02
I'm just gonna go ahead and slip it in
1:04
and slip it on the phone only some level
1:08
of anxiety there and it's up and it
1:12
hasn't broken now part of what they've
1:14
done is they've figured out that they
1:16
don't need to have these breakable
1:17
points so some of the I'll give you a
1:20
close-up here some of the cases of seen
1:22
actually try to have the wood part
1:25
around both sides of a button or
1:27
something and that means the top part is
1:30
very thin and just begging to be busted
1:32
so they've managed to sidestep all of
1:35
that by having all these nice little
1:36
grooves cut out and it's a nice looking
1:39
case now one thing I will say is that I
1:42
actually look for cases that are
1:44
slightly higher than the surface of this
1:47
of the phone itself so that if you drop
1:49
it facedown the case takes the brunt of
1:52
that energy rather than the screen so
1:54
this isn't like that so that's one point
1:57
against it but on the other hand it's a
2:00
wood case and it's actually really nice
2:02
looking it has a nice feel to it
2:04
if you're an outdoor person you might
2:06
actually really like having a wood case
2:08
and it definitely is feels like it's
2:12
going to last a while we'll find
2:13
I'll let it be on my phone for a while
2:15
one of the things I want to say is that
2:18
the pad and quill really pay attention
2:20
to their wood source so they're using
2:22
what's called Forest Stewardship Council
2:24
or FSC wood sources which means that
2:28
these are companies that have been
2:30
certified by this independent agency
2:32
that they're doing sustainable
2:34
harvesting techniques so that's really
2:36
important I don't want to have them
2:37
clear-cutting afar so that I can get an
2:39
iPhone case that would be almost as
2:42
uncool as the plane that's flying
2:44
overhead as I'm doing this recording but
2:48
what can you do so it's a scratch
2:51
resistant wood and again that's
2:53
something I'll be able to ascertain over
2:55
the next couple of weeks as I use it and
2:56
it comes in four colors it comes
2:59
actually I'm sorry it comes in three
3:00
colors it comes in American cherry which
3:03
is gonna be a sort of reddish color
3:05
zebra wood which is this really cool
3:07
dark gray almost black wood and then
3:10
this is American walnut and for very
3:13
patriotic having American walnut on my
3:15
phone so that's cool comes with a 30-day
3:18
money-back guarantee or promise they
3:21
call it and a one-year warranty so if
3:24
this thing does break or something in
3:25
the next couple of weeks then I'm gonna
3:27
call them back so it's actually a pretty
3:30
nice case and I really like what pad and
3:32
quill has done and certainly the way
3:34
they package the whole thing with their
3:36
box and it has like a little welcome to
3:39
the family and you can see there's even
3:42
a wax imprint on the cover of the box
3:44
this is obviously set up to be a very
3:47
nice gift for someone so if you know
3:49
someone who really would like or needs a
3:52
better wood case for their iPhone then
3:54
you should Jeff definitely check out pad
3:56
and quill now how much is it it's forty
3:59
nine ninety five but there's a 10%
4:01
discount you can get just by going on to
4:03
their website which is at pad and quill
4:06
calm so this is the wood line case in
4:09
American walnut for the iPhone 6s and
4:12
six and I like it so I'll catch you in
4:16
