MagSafe Koa Wood iPhone Case with Abalone Bird Inlay | Pono Woodworks

We're always tinkering and trying new things here in the shop...sometimes it blows up spectacularly and sometimes we create a magic little nugget. These turned out pretty magic and we love the combination of earth and sea. The abalone comes from Maui and is responsibly harvested. The Koa of course comes from private ranches on the Big Island from dead or dying trees....so...this doesn't have to be your guilty pleasure. Slim case design (all the protection, none of the bulk) Sustainably Harvested Hawaiian Koa and Abalone (no need to feel guilty) Drop tested and approved (we're like drunken sailors around the shop) Protection on all sides (including raised front lip to protect the screen) Made in Hawaii (yes that's still considered made in the USA) NOTE-- slide case sideways off a magnet holder instead of pulling..much better for the magnet The cases are a combination of hard plastic backer and soft TPU sides which will bounce when dropped...we don't recommend testing that although we're pretty sure you'll find out eventually. All this work to create a one of a kind reminder of the islands...The Islands are Calling. I started using construction adhesive to glue in the magnets and am getting a much better result. I’ve found that if I slide the phone off the magnet to the side, the hold of the magnet breaks its force and I don’t have issues. If I pull it straight out and off a strong magnet, it can pull the whole magnet out…and that’s embarrassing. Our Magsafe case is also available as a Tapa or Koi design — or check out all the koa wood phone cases.
