Currently I have an iPhone 5 with a two-tone wood skin on it by Woodly. While it is beautiful it won't fit on my soon to be iPhone 5S. Also getting the new 5S won't work with the cool wooden home button that Woodly gives you. I more protection so I am looking for suggestions on wood cases (not skins).

I like Grove but wow is it pricy. I like Woodly too but they don't have anything up for the 5S yet. I like the look of Root but their products are all made in China.

Anyone out there have any suggestions.

Lol. But seriously, Twig cases are great. Looks like wood but much more durable. I have one and dropped my Iphone 5 and nothing happened. Took it off to use a Spigen bumper and the first time my phone dropped the bumper popped right off and I ended up with a pretty good ding in the corner. I would think that the Twig Iphone 5 cases would work with the 5s but I don't know. Perhaps MysteryDate would know that.

I'm waiting to hear back from Mr. Cook as we speak!
