Handmade wood iPod touch case...






At SUBSTRATA, we are always working to develop new and innovative products... and we think we've got a good one!

Since introducing our wood iPhone boxes, we've seen an exciting response. There's been lots of interest worldwide; we've shipped iPhone boxes to customers in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. We're still waiting on Africa. And Antarctica, I suppose.



But we're always thinking about what's next- and to that end, we are almost ready with something new and exciting- the one and only SUBSTRATA wood iPod Touch case!


These are some poor-quality snapshots of the latest prototype- it's made of German Beech. After we pass this one around the shop and everyone OKs it, we will start production. Look for the release on substrata.etsy.com in 2-3 weeks!!

Substrata's new wood iPhone Cases!

With all of the new Apple products hitting the market this week, we here at Substrata have decided to release some new products of our own! Starting Friday the following products will be available at substrata.etsy.com.

New Padauk case - this particular piece of wood is fabulous. While most Padauk has a consistent orange color, this hand picked board has a wide range of contrasting tones.





We have also added two domestic hard woods to our iPhone case lineup: black walnut and maple.





Further, we have created a case that has less detailed curves. We will be selling these cases for about fifteen dollars less then the current generation.

In the past month or so we have gotten a number of requests for different port openings, such as the headphone jack and the dock connector slot. All of our cases will now be available with these ports opened for convenient access (small fee applies).

iPhone Cases from the Earth - Generation One



Substrata's first wood iPhone cases were listed on Etsy.com about one month ago. The first items listed were simple prototypes that we did not think would get much attention. But to our great surprise the blogosphere picked up on our creation within 12 hrs.We never expected the attention that these blogs brought and honestly we were not entirely prepared for it!


Now that things have slowed down we are pushing ahead with our plans to develop a full line of wood apple products - from docks and ear bud holders to fully functional iPhone and iPod cases. We hope to release these within the next month or so. Hopefully the blogs will find these items just as interesting as our first attempts.
