EDIT :
here are some more pics, I have added the apple logo and two "exhausts" for the speaker :)
both done in steel.
the brushed metal logo was inspired by a wallpaper I saw :)

I usually make my own iPhone cases to carry my iPhone in my pocket, most cases you can buy are not very nice, and I just like the wooden look with the iPhone

and this time I was inspired by the aluminium Vapor case, the case is made from a scrap piece of dark hard wood and is very sturdy.
the buttons are turned 6mm steel, and the inside of the case lined with black felt.

whats the point of the volume buttons if the whole phone is in there?

My headphones don't have volume control, and with the buttons I can change the volume without taking the iPhone out of my pocket :).

The case still needs small holes for the speaker, and I want to have the Apple logo on the front, like my old 3GS case

Wow, very nice work! Probably the best home made case out there. How many hrs did it take you to complete?
