iWood: Luxurious Wooden Cases for iPhone

We all know that wood is good, but is it good when wrapped around a $599 iPhone? The people of Miniot, who have created handmade wooden cases for your iPhone, sure hope so.

The cases come in Oak, Paduk, Cherry, Mahogany and Walnut and cost about $95. The company also makes iPod nano and iPod-sized cases that can be personalized and engraved to add that earthy touch to your plastic pieces. While I think the cases are beautiful, I am not really keen on the "natural vs. man made" combo here. It's like using a wooden memory stick.
