Does a wooden cover make my phone heavier?

No, we only use very lightweight sorts of wood for the phone cases. That’s why the phone cases barely weigh anything which makes them very easy to use.

Are the products made of wood sensitive?

Wood as material is more sensitive than others. That’s why you should be careful and protect them from shock, falling and water.

 

Are the products water resistant?

It is no problem if some rain falls on the wooden products or gets in contact with sweat.

However, we explicitly recommend to protect all wooded products of Time For Wood from contact with water. The products are therefore not water proof, since wood is a natural material and gets damaged by too much wetness.

Is the production of the wooden products sustainable?

Our producer, that has been our close partner for three years already, receives the raw material for our products from the Zheijang province in the East of China. In this region the wood is harvested following the ‘conservation of population’ principle. This means that for every tree being harvested, a new one is planted.

In addition, most of our suppliers work a lot with bamboo, which is a very sustainable sort in itself. The bamboo species grows at a very fast pace (several centimetres per day) and can easily be grown in ‘bamboo farms’. This makes bamboo an excellent raw material without having to harm the population.

Furthermore, we also started a collaboration with Trees For The Future, a non-profit organisation that plants trees where they are most needed. We make a donation worth of one tree for every product that we have sold. Thus by buying a Time For Wood product, you not only help for yourself, but you also give back to nature!

Below the production process of the sunglasses is explained:

The lenses provide UV-400 protection, what does that mean?

More than 99.5% of the UV radiation (UV-A and UV-B) is being blocked.

 

How well protected is my phone with a Time For Wood case?

We are proud to say our wooden covers provide an excellent protection against scratches and small impacts. After a couple of years of experience we specially chose silicon sides, our phone cases have never been stronger than with the current design. Follow the instructions on the packaging to put on the phone case correctly.

Please note that just like any ordinary phone cover, our wooden cover could not protect your phone from any bigger impact such as a fall.

Can I still use all plugs and button with the wooden cover?

By combining the wood with silicon we made a slim case with all functions still easy to use. So you can still charge your phone, plug in your headphones or use all your phone buttons.
