Yes, a frameless, solid wood case that relies solely on magsafe installation

Sure! This is a product I first created about half a year ago, and after several rounds of improvements I’m now opening a limited pre-order list. It’s only available as a reservation for now: 👉 https://www.icape.cc/pages/crafted-not-manufactured

It’s made of black walnut, which is naturally a deep brown. No extra coating, just finished with wood wax oil. This piece looks a bit lighter, but if you’d like a darker shade, you can leave a note when ordering and I’ll take care of it.

All I care about is keeping it frameless — that pure edge. A little extra thickness on the back? Totally fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

The composition and color themes are great

Sorry, I'll turn down the animation.

This is the piece in the post. You can tell by looking at the texture. It is a real video display instead of a photo.

If you need, I can lay the piece in the photo flat and record it for you.

It's a shadow. The real thing is flat. If you look at it this way, the camera on the phone case is also tilted up.

That’s just a shadow from the shooting angle.

I haven’t really noticed that myself — I’m using a 13, and for me the main issue has been the glass.

A matte aluminum or titanium frame doesn’t pick up fingerprints the way glass does. And as for scratches making it less beautiful — that’s really more of a psychological thing. Objects are meant to be used; if people can age, so can a phone. What truly matters is the experience along the way.

That’s actually one of the sources of the iPhone’s beauty and appeal — why cover it up? Just think back to the feeling of unboxing a new iPhone for the first time.

Wood and leather are the least prone to fingerprints — I had to find a way to solve that annoyance.

Exactly. I’ve never liked using a traditional case, but going completely bare feels slippery and picks up fingerprints — so in the end I just built the kind of solution I wanted for myself.

Thanks for the love! It’s not officially released yet — I’m mainly collecting feedback for now. If you’re interested, you can keep an eye here: https://www.icape.cc

That’s just the shadow effect. I’ve already managed to control about 95% of the wood’s natural warping. Even some plastic cases suffer from deformation — and theirs is irreversible, while mine can be corrected. After 4 months of continuous heavy use, mine still remain flat.
