Call of the Wild Side
Deck your smart phone with a street-ready new look. Designer Lindsay Jo Holmes is not only an avid skateboarder, but also an admirer of the beauty in skateboards themselves. With her team, she gathers wood scraps from a skateboard factory, presses them into plywood, and cuts thin cross sections that expose and highlight the vibrant array of colors inside. This sheet is then precision cut to the phone's dimensions, hand finished, and given an adhesive to attach it securely to the back of your iPhone. The durable new deck will protect against accidental grinds, while giving your phone a makeover that will earn you some mad props. Made in Portland, Oregon.

- Materials: recycled skateboards
- 4.45" L x 2.2" W x .09" H (Fits iPhone 4/4S)
- It's important to keep your SkateBack away from moisture and extreme temperatures! Before applying it, make sure the surface of your phone is clean and free of oil and dust. Use the camera and flash holes to correctly align the SkateBack. You can expect the SkateBack to wear gracefully like fine, hand-oiled furniture and darken with age. The oils from your hand will polish your case as a result of the natural oil and wax finish. To remove, use the included plastic blade. The SkateBack is not designed for repeated removal. Warning: the SkateBack may interfere with flash photography.

We love that this smart phone art is made from the wood leftover after creating actual skateboards. Would you decorate your phone in true skater style?

I like the look of the case, but the adhesive attachment to the phone is a deal breaker.

I absolutely adore this...it's beautiful. And, from how it's manufactured, I'm sure its very tough and will protect the back from scratches. I voted "no" because I tend to do the bounce test on my phone A LOT. I think this for people who are easier on their phones and me, I'm too much of a klutz.

A very unique idea, but it doesn't give the phone any protection and would preclude using another case that does provide more protection.

Adhesive? um, no....no real phone protection. I LOVE the colors though!! Could same material be kitchen trivets or coasters or serving trays? Those I'd dig!
Liz

would rather have a whole case not just a back piece

Pretty and unique design, but the adhesive really is a deal breaker.

If I'm buying a case I want the whole thing covered or at least the back and the sides. I'm not crazy about the colors.

The only reason I said no is because of the adhesive - wouldn't want to do that on my phone.

Adhesive...really? The colors are pretty but I would not adhere anything to a very expensive phone. Would love to see an option for those of us with a different smartphone brand.

I have to admit, these are actually kinda cool looking, but I don't have an iphone, plus, while I can appreciate the coolness of it, it isn't my style, but I'm just one of your many customers ;-)

Awesome! My friend just bought one of these. He's started skateboarding again and then saw this and bought it for his phone.

I like it but it seems there's so many cell phone covers around not sure it'll do well.

I don't own an iphone so I wouldn't need one of these but they certainly are nice.

Why add bulk without protection?

I need more protection
Kathleen

Agree with what everyone has said. Although I love the look and like the idea of the recycled skateboards, some other product would be more functional. Don't want to stick anything to my phone.

This is so good looking, but it's for iPhones (Android user here) and it it glues to your phone, um no...
Jessica

I love the look, really unique and beautiful, but the adhesive is a no go for me. If it was a snap on case I would give it a thumbs up.

Gorgeous and interesting, but useless in terms of protection. I would love it if it were an actual phone case.

Love the concept but protection must come before coolness when it comes to my phone. I also don't like the adhesive attachment idea. Sorry. :-(

Iphones always have the coolest cases available - but unfortunately I have an android!
