The company is introducing the TradCase in Walnut, Cherry, and Teak, and the TradDuo in Maple and Walnut or Maple and Cherry combination. The company said each case is carved from a single block of wood, and then polished by hand to a stain finish. Because they are made from real wood, each case is effectively unique due to the differences in color and wood grain. Each case has wooden buttons for controlling the volume and on/off switch on the iPhone, and the cases have holes carved out for the camera, earphone jack, Dock port, and ringer switch. The TradCase is priced at US$44.95, and the TradDuo is priced at $54.95, though both prices are being billed as “introductory.” The TradCase Teak case from the back The TradCase Teak case from the front and side Email This Tweet This Bryan Chaffin on Twitter 52847 Bryan Chaffin product_news 1269434917 Post A Comment or Log-in.

Lee Dronick said on March 24th, 2010 at 10:18 AM (Edited: 10/18/2011 6:20 PM): They look nice. I wonder if they don’t have a gloss varnish finish then they probably have a natural non-slip texture. eugenio said on March 25th, 2010 at 7:12 PM: nock on wood robbmajor said on March 29th, 2010 at 12:21 PM: I ordered one of these cases and just received it in the mail today. It shipped from Florida and the shipping time was very quick. Upon receipt of the case, it is certainly not as advertised on their site. First, it’s nearly impossible to access the ring/silent switch in the case…the wood is too thick to get a finger in to flip it. The wood on the back of the case had wood filler putty showing. The wooden button to operate the sleep/wake button presses down on the phone’s sleep/wake button at all times, causing the phone to randomly sleep & wake without being touched. In 2 or 3 places on the case, the wood was dented/dinged, and the finish on the wood was flaking off in spots. I’m currently trying to return the case, but am unable to reach the company. Caveat emptor. aswitcher said on April 4th, 2010 at 3:32 AM: robbmajor, thats not good to hear. I ordered one on the 25th. Got a paypal posting notice but tracking hasn’t seen it move yet. Hearing this from you has me worried. Did you get a singlewood or multiwood version? Did you get onto them?
