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!

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
