New Case Mate collection for iPhone 5 requires fancy driving gloves

Continuing with the new iPhone case announcements is Case Mate with their Woods Collection. Not golf club woods, mind you, or the kind of woods in which grandmothers get eaten by tricky wolves, but “genuine exotic hardwood” like you’d find in the interior of vintage automobiles.

As Case Mate explains, “… the Crafted Woods collection is a marriage of sophisticated natural materials with a thoughtful attention to assembly and finishing detail. The texture and warmth of each genuine hardwood is contrasted with a hand polished brushed aluminum. The ageless combination creates a classic look that is a staple of sophisticated style.”

Design options for the Woods Coolection includes rosewood (pictured above) blackened ash, leopardwood, zebrawood, narra and birdseye maple.

Each case in the collection costs $80.00, and features:

• Genuine exotic hardwoods paired with brushed aluminum accents
• Interior patterned inlay adds greater protection & finished feel throughout
• Sophisticated two-piece construction protects the front and back of your phone
