iATO iPhone Xs Max Book Type Case - Real Walnut Wood Grain Premium Protective Front & Back Cover - Unique Folio Flip Bumper Accessory for 6.5" iPhone Xs Max (2018) - Supports Wireless Charging

I wanted a wooden case for my new iPhone and loved the look of this case. As other reviews mentioned, the top and bottom of the phone are exposed with this case. It seemed like it would do very little to protect my phone from a fall, so I returned it because I didn't want to take any chances. Especially because the case offers no grip, so it's even more prone to being dropped. It was also very difficult to apply and remove - it felt like it was going to break while trying to take it off.

This is a nice case and since it was real wood I was able to burn a design in it to my liking for an unusual piece of artwork that I can carry every day.

UPDATE: Received my new replacement case last week - and I absolutely love it! It is unique and a good looking case - good quality! Thanks again to the Seller for his help and excellent Customer Service!I loved this case online - so sleek and pretty, but when I received it, I realized that I am a girl that needs something with a bumper case around the phone! After replacing a phone screen this year for $325., I couldn't afford to replace another one, so probably not the best case for me, with it's more 'open' design. After I returned it, I received a message from iATO's Customer Service, offering me a replacement case! Unbelievable customer experience, especially these days! I was very appreciative of their offer to try another case (with a bumper!) for free! I will definitely come back and add to my review, once I receive the new case. Transactions like this will make me a customer for life! Thank you, iATO! :)

I have a bamboo case that looks almost identical. It was worn out so I purchased this one as a replacement. I thought it was the same brand but turns out this one is a little different. It doesn’t feel quite as durable as my original one, like the material is thinner. So far it has no problems but I’m expecting that it won’t last quite as long. Looks very nice overall and feels sleek with a nice texture.

The case looks good when you first get it, but it's hard plastic so the "wood look" on the back gets scratched and worn off around the edges. I noticed this a couple of weeks after I got it. Had it about a month now. It's cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Silver lining - it does seem to be fairly durable. I have dropped it a few times and the case stays on and my phone hasn't shattered yet. So there's that.

Great product! I engraved the wood after I got it. (See photo)

This reseller is totally deceptive - this product is not real wood. It is entirely plastic made to look like wood. I kept it because it’s a decent case but if you are really looking for wood stay away from this product and this reseller.

The nice looking wood trim on the case came lose just 2 days after the expiration for return. Humm, pretty pricey for a 32 day use case.UPDATE: without any request from me, the vendor contacted me and expressed concern on what had happened with their product. even thought it was past the Amazon date for replacement the willingly sent me a replacement unit which is a very attractive case. only time will tell, but I will give it another try. Thanks

- This case looks amazing! I love the natural wooden look and feel it has.- However, as a phone case it does not provide that much protection for your phone.The front bezel has been the biggest concern for me.- It is not very thick and therefore if you were to drop your phone flat on its screen, there isn't a lot of space between your screen and the ground and therefore it’s more likely that your screen will get damaged.- The top and bottom of your phone will also be prone to chips/scratches as the case doesn't fully wrap around the phone.- The case does not interfere with any of the buttons, charging port or speakers.- Very light-weight as well, doesn’t make your phone feel like a brick

I'd leave a great review if it would cost half the price. You can find much better cases for extra few pounds without compromising on protectiveness or ergonomics - two key features of any case.Pros:Very nice touch and feel.Real wood and wood patterns.Some good protection for the phone (read further)Cons:Not 100% protection: Bottom and upper sides of the cover are exposed and do not offer good protection.Ergonomics: Left and right bottom edges are cut at 90 degrees which does not sit naturally in your hands.Very bulky: Not suitable for people with small hands or short fingers.Not created for iPhone Xs: while it fits excellently, you can see that the camera hole doesn't perfectly cover the camera. A minor thing but shows you lack of attention to details.About the reviewer:I have two phones that I use extensively and change them every 6-12 months. Always used covers and many accidents.

Really nice wood-effect case. Minor caveat: the finish is very smooth, so the case can be slipply, which can make it feel hard and cold if you’re switching from a neoprene case. However, that’s exactly the finish I was looking for - I was sick of rubbery-finish cases that would drag everything out of my pocket any time I retrieved my phone.Very happy with my purchase!

I ordered the iATO real wood phone cover recently and am very pleased with the product. It arrived promptly and in excellent condition. I’ve only had it a few days but really love it. It’s a sturdy phone cover not flimsy like some phone covers and my phone feels protected whilst looking incredibly stylish.Can not recommend this product enough.

The product has an etching of their website on the case. This does not feature in the picture of the product. In my opinion it makes it look cheap and I have a policy that I don’t wear visible branding so I bought one from another company and donated it to a charity shop.
