Nah, I already have lockms weather installed, I just wanted that specific wallpaper you have on your lockscreen lol
 
I apologize the pictures aren't in focus in the right places, i'm new to product photography, and its quite different than shooting cars, which is what I normally shoot.

Two things wrong:
You are apologizing for the wrong thing.
You need to stop shooting cars and shoot that phone, and I don't mean with a camera.
 
To those asking about how it will look/work with the Apple bumper.

It looks nice, however it doesn't fit properly. The wood from KARVT is a little too thick for the bumper. The bumper still fits around, but doesn't sit flush with both sides. Only one side will be flush, while the bumper won't quite reach all the way to overlay on the opposite side.

Overall it's going to get annoying, so I ended up j/leaving it off until I get bored of the wood.

Do you think the bumper would work with just the back piece of wood installed??

I have the ibackwoods version of the wood backing. And even though I don't use the bumper, I have it and put it on to see if it fits. It does.

I'm sure the ibackwoods is similar in thickness to the Karvt, so it should fit.

Note that ibackwoods bevels the area by the back camera. The Karvt is a better deal price wise though.

I didn't even know that existed, thank you for sharing :)
 

Does this or the karvt version have any sort of varnish or protective coating? I feel that the phone will come in contact with moisture at some point whether it be a sweaty hand or a moist table top. I'd hate to spend the money and have it start to discolor.

Just an FYI, I ordered this ibackwoods version over a week ago. I emailed them prior to my order asking about turnaround time. I was told about a week. Since placing my order I've emailed twice asking for at least an update which I have yet to recieve. Funny how they were quick to reply before I placed my order but now that they have my money I haven't heard a peep. I'm glad I paid with paypal. I've opened a dispute which I hope will at least get a response. It's a shame how bad customer service can ruin your opinion on a product.

They ignored one of my emails also...BUT, it did indeed ship out and arrived in perfect condition.

How any online business decides not to provide a shipping notice and/or tracking info is beyond belief. I guess if you don't want repeat customers and/or referrals you shouldn't be surprised that your product never takes off sales wise.
 
Yuck! Wood + Glass & Steel industrial design of the iPhone is not a good combination for me. Actually looks sort of funny. Like a hillbilly DIY cell phone.
 
still haven't heard back from the ibackwoods guy. 10 days and counting from my order date. if karvt offered a version with no cutout for the logo i would've gone that direction.

I ordered on 7/29 then emailed them on 8/5, never heard a thing like I said earlier, then got it I believe 8/12 via USPS.

You'll get it....eventually.
 
Finally heard back. He said he was "out of town". Guess there's no email access where he was? Anyway, he said it went out today. Did you get any tracking info? My guess is no but I thought I'd ask.
