Brisbane label Hounded is uniting the elements of technology and timber with their brand-new range of iPhone skins. Made from sustainably harvested timber like jarrah, maple, myrtle and teak, each skin is designed, crafted and finished by hand in our fair city. iPhone 4, 4S and 5 models will all enjoy sidling up to the Hounded skins range, which boasts an anti-residue adhesive so you can slap it on to the back of your phone and remove it without any nasty hangers-on. The locally sourced timber not only brings a natural, textural feel to your smartphone, but it’s also just one-millimetre thick so it can slip inside your current case with ease.

If your iPhone has copped a beating and is in need of some new garb, the Hounded range also encompasses BUFF ultimate shock-absorption screen protectors and handmade back replacements in huon pine, durable celery top pine and jarrah. Hounded founder Ben Edwards has also been tinkering away on wooden creations for more Apple products like the iPad and Apple TV, so stay tuned to the Facebook page for product updates.
