Renzo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Not completely off topic as they're made of wood..... But has anyone seen these? OMG they're beautiful. My unlocked iPhone 4 is arriving tomorrow or Monday (you can buy them unlocked from apple in Canada) and I really want one of these babiesl.

chopnhack Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Those are some nice cases!! It's interesting to see them say how its carved out of a solid block of bamboo though. A little misleading I think. Bamboo is a hollow grass. They would have to slit them and flatten them and then glue them together to form a block. I grow some in the backyard believe it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are pretty cool, but leaves me with a couple of questions. How much attenuation does the bamboo add to the antenna? Can it double as a cutting board?

nateswoodworks Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 That is pretty cool and I suppose bamboo is one of the few that would work being that thin and needing to be rugged and not cracking but I am wondering how it stays on-I don't have an Iphone so forgive me if it is a dumb? It popped in my head and now I just have to know. Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hi Im pretty sure it stays on the way any phone case stays on. I know it's lined with felt on the inside so it won't scratch/damage the phone. Some cases are two pieces and snap together (which this one is probably) and others just kind of snap over the sides. That is pretty cool and I suppose bamboo is one of the few that would work being that thin and needing to be rugged and not cracking but I am wondering how it stays on-I don't have an Iphone so forgive me if it is a dumb?

Renzo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Well it's wood, so i wouldn't think any. Wood isn't conductive I don't think. And FYI, the antenna issue was WAY way overblown. Just sayin' Not sure about the cutting board feature of the case Those are pretty cool, but leaves me with a couple of questions.

Just sayin' Not sure about the cutting board feature of the case I agree the hype over the antenna on the iPhone 4 was overblown, but anytime you put a case over a phone it will give some attenuation to the internal antenna. Just curious as how the bamboo acts as a dielectric as opposed to rubber, silicone or plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
