One Russian man builds new cases for mobile phones from apple tree wood. He fully disassembles the new devices and carve a piece-of-art wooden cases for them, each small part gets its own wooden case - the antenna, the sim-card, the battery.

    2. The Dog says:

      Where can I buy one? I can see a niche market for these for People who want to make a statement about technology even though they must use it on a daily basis.

    6. Swedish Chef says:

      “manufacturers wood turn to wood too” LOL.

      Not very clever to cover the antenna with wood. But i guess its all about fashion…

      as a daily reminder i am going to bed now goodnight and sleep well cause i will;

    8. Bullwinkle says:

      I was just trying to figure out who made the original phone. It looks awfully thick and it is a one piece. It kind of resembles a Nokia from way back in 1999.

    9. Zhent says:

      This is a cool phone mod, i have a similar era 1996 Ericsson so i’l be trying this one out myself.

      • Bullwinkle says:

        Those phones sucked ass. They were big, bulky, had a short battery life and weak signal strength.

        • Boris says:

          Most older cellular phones actually had a greater power output, but the “weak signal strength” you are referring to is probably due to the fact that the signals were analog, and cellular towers were not widespread.

          • Texas1 says:

            Back then, we had plenty of coverage in Dallas, Texas. We had better, all of the major manufacturers have their big corporate campuses here and that includes Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Ericson and several others.

    10. illlich says:

      It’s not an iPhone, it’s a “я-phone.”

      maybe he can make a matrushka phone next, a phone within a phone within a phone.

      (I bet this gets “boing-boinged” very shortly.)

    11. TeratoMarty says:

      This is beautiful! I am obsessed with telephones, and I made a wooden case for an old-fashioned landline phone, but this is beyond my skill.

    12. Bullwinkle says:

      I would like to see someone do it with a Sharp T150 or Razr v3x.

    13. Boris says:

      So he will get more money and attention by putting circuit boards inside cut wood than a person who actually reverse-engineers the whole phone. This is kind of like a successful business getting lots of profit by selling a multicolored cover for laptops because it looks cool.

    14. Mektoub says:

      Hey guys, It’s amzing to see that nobody of yours have thought of safety issues with such a device. Regular mobiles are not yet proved to be harmless and you just care about model-fashion-efficency isssues and such. The retarded here are not the guy who carves the wood to make a wood frame fit within an obsolete mobile model nor the guy who makes the buzz about it, it’s you with such lame and ironic A-comments (A- of course stands for american people.

      • Texas1 says:

        We’re moronic? That’s a laugh! Look at you pathetic people trying to start the cold war again. Ah, the rest of the world just watches and laughs at poor pathetic Russia.

      • Washington says:

        Don’t make fun of America in front of Texas1. That’s a very sensitive subject for him :( And whatever you do, DO NOT MAKE FUN OF BUSH! He will have nervous breakdown.

      • CT says:

        Zafarad and Mektoub,

        If you are indeed Misleadmen, especially Saudis, “Zoob fee kooss amook” (pronounced with the short “oo” of “book”). Make it a “kafr” one, at that.

        This Russian’s idea is novel. I will not buy one of his phones, but I wish him every success in selling them to people who want them, whatever the reason.

        I suspect many jihadis, including Zafarad and Mektoub, will like them: wood is probably something they can really relate to. It’s what they use to heat their homes, cook, and control their women and non-Muslim neighbors (those left with heads attached). Perhaps that is why the wooden stock AK-47 is apparently so much more popular with jihadis than other similar weapons using metal and plastic only.

        • Mektoub says:

          Yeah AK is a must have, It’s made of recyclable stuff so well, nature friendly somehow, but It’s just unfortunalty uneffective on opening the retarded people…
          You know, I just wish the guy the same success as you do, but I’m tired of the american nombrilistic - I can’t tell where the US are in a world map - narrow minded mentality and by the way, I’m afraid you got misleaden by my nickname, I am Catholic, French from portuguese origins, and I do not support any “Jihad” attitude or such.

        • Mektoub says:

          Oh and I almost forgot but this guy is prabably grown enough to asnwer by himself, but on the misleading “I don’t know the fucking way out of there, but I have to defend the american way”, “Zafarad” comes from Sepharate, “Sephardi”, they are one of the most representative Jewish tribes:(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephardi_Jews)
          I’m not sure he’ll appreciate your comments about Saudis and AK-47, and beheaded people, you’re so childish…

    15. bardanof says:

      Great idea !!
      I’m sure it could be easily commercialized here in Japan (if you want to).
      People really like these kind of arts. So don’t wait they copy it.

      Don’t forget that while “the rest of the world” like to buy modern style bathroom, “the must” for us still whole (Japanese) cypress bath as it’s paulonia wood for the chests. Super sofisticate electronic toilet but better to sleep on a tatami-room wich seemed to be so contradictory between new technology and nature but is in our gene. Think about it…

      • CT says:

        Bardanof-san,

        Very true, but the wooden phone would then become synonymous with Hokkaido (or, more specifically, the Ainu) and become mass-produced. While that in itself is fine, because it would lower costs, lead to more jobs carving phones (and making machines that carve the phones, etc.) and bring more wooden phones to people who want them (assuming there are many), it might put this innovative Russian woodcarver out of business. And that would be a shame.

        Unless he can license or copyright the wooden phone, and then he’d be set for life.

        Until the Chinese fakes appeared, made of “wood,” prison-camp sawdust glued with some lead-laden carcinogenic adhesive that’s highly inflammable.

    16. Gabriel says:

      What is it with russians and the wood? Sure you also have wooden dildos

    17. erik in kiev says:

      I’d like to buy one of these phones, anyone have contact information of the Russian who made this wooden phone? If so, please send to:
