Zebrawood iphone case

Oh, I want one! I love the contrast between the high tech iPhone and the tactile wood case. Nice work.

You may want to alter the copywrited logo 20%-30% to defer from any legal issues. Two bites out of the apple may work.

Fun project none the less.

Yeah, I think I may even make my own logo to put on.

The changes are made. Thanks mmh for the advice.

Nice case. Wise move to fiddle the logo. The logo police are a humorless lot !

it looks awesome! how did make that?

This is an outstanding example of serious craftmanship. The attention to detail sets the bar very high for any one trying to copy this.

You wouldn’t get sued making it for yourself, but you would if you sold them with the apple logo on it. Regardless, you should make a lot of these .. they would sell like hot cakes.

Awesome case Ryan! Just a thought, you could make the apple a cut out so that the apple on the iPhone shows through, and then I don’t think that would be an infringement, I think that would simply be allowing apple’s own logo to show through the work rather than you selling something with their logo on it.

If apple tried to say something, you could simply respond, “I didn’t put your logo on it, I simply removed enough wood that people could see the logo you put on the phone itself.”

Hay, cool case. I did one some time ago but never even thought about advertising for a phone company. I still use it and get a lot of comments about it.
Hay, we both made the top 15 the same day! Now that’s really cool.

If you are not selling this, you have no worries about the copyright.

Thanks!
sirfatty: Thats exactly what I thought when I originally posted it with the Apple logo. I just thought I would play it safe.
Thanks again everyone for your comments!

A lot of my friends are buying wooden iPhone/iPod cases. I wish my phone wasn’t curved in every way it could be. Making a case without a CNC/Laser cutter would be almost impossible

Screw any company that would care about that logo crap. Good job, I don’t even know how the heck you did it. I’m really impressed!

I’ve been thinking of making one of these for a while. Picked up a snap together wooden case (bottom fourth-ish clicks on and off) in that I’m going to pattern. I’m going to have to now that I dropped it an popped a corner off.

Yours looks like a pop in/out.

How’s it hold up to repeatedly putting it in and taking it out?

Reason I ask is that a lot of devices (stereos, docks, arm bands, car mounts) can’t seem to hold bulky mounts.
