Kraken 2 - Wood & Gold Phone Case
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Gold on dark is a classic, timeless look, so it's no wonder the Kraken remains one of our most popular pieces even after so many years. Featuring a finely-detailed engraved octopus crafted from a gold metallic inlay and Wenge backer, you can't go wrong with this wooden phone case.
The Kraken design has been part of Keyway since nearly the beginning. The original version, the Prize Kraken, featured the full octopus centered on a silver background. For the Kraken 2, we cropped the design in half to show more of the intricate tentacle detail, and swapped the silver for gold acrylic to give it a richer, more dramatic look. Cutting the creature in half turned out to be the better move: it made the design more intriguing and let the fine line work of the engraving really stand out.
Each Kraken 2 starts with a piece of wenge wood that gets laser-cut to create the pocket for the gold acrylic inlay. The kraken itself is laser-engraved directly into the acrylic surface with fine detail that catches the light differently depending on the angle. The black wenge and gold acrylic combination gives the whole piece a feel that sits somewhere between rustic and refined. Available for all current iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models, with MagSafe magnets and a soft microfibre interior lining on iPhone 13 and newer.

Care instructions
Extremely well made and fits perfectly. I love the look and have had many compliments.
I purchased the Kraken phone case for my iPhone 8 Plus about 3 years ago and it’s still it perfect condition. The gold coloring on the back rubbed off a bit after a year of rough use but that is expected. Will be buying another for my new phone! Recommend 10/10
Wow that thing has seen some work! Happy to hear you're still enjoying it 3 years on!
I bought the octopus case for my husband for Father’s Day. We all love the case & it’s super sturdy & nice looking.
Great design and durability, ir has saves my phone hundreds of times by now
It's been through the wringer and going strong, happy to hear it!!
This was a gift for my son and he loved the case and it fit great
Excellent product. This is my second case from Keyway and I couldn't be happier. Solid quality.
The Kraken wood phone case is exactly as advertised, looks great, fits the phone perfectly, and the case is very sturdy. Extremely happy with this and I will be ordering another Keyway case for my work phone.
Just yesterday, I was riding my ebike home, and I hit a gutter at a cross walk a little bit too hard, and the bounce made my phone fly out of its holder. So, it fell and landed on the road. The bottom left corner hit first, then it landed on its face. I expected the worst. But to my surprise...there was no damage to my phone. The corner of the case got slightly damaged, and my screen protector has a small scuff on it. But that's IT. My screen isn't broken, no dents in the phone body. Nothing. I couldn't believe it. You'd have no idea the thing fell a few feet into the middle if a street. I'm just glad the cars who got a green light after I turned back waited for me to pick it up before they went lmao.
I don't need to replace the case, but I might just get another one just because it saved my phone and saved me having to spend money to fix it, or get a new one.
Great design, great case and great feel to the design on the back.
It’s amazing
Very nice design with a durable case. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend!
I have the gold iPhone, and this case complements it perfectly! The build quality is excellent—it feels sturdy and premium, definitely not like a cheap, flimsy case.
Beautiful design
Better than expected!!! I love it!!!
Really well made case!!
Amazing product I love it great quality
10/10 this is a very high-quality phone case and everyone always compliments my phone case now (:
I’ve had the case for about a month now and it still looks brand new. It feels like the phone is protected, and the new felt liner (my first keyway case didn’t have this) prevents the phone from getting scratched up inside the case. I love it!
As cheap as it was I was expecting flimsy decals or something. It actually seems to be engraved and looks as good as the pictures show. It feels weird to hold considering my old case was metal and rubber, and this is low profile and has a wood texture to it, but it isn’t a bad thing. Also suggest it if you have a screen protector because unlike most cases it sticks above the screen so it doesn’t touch the screen when face down and my protector is nearly flush with its edges.
Wish they sold watch cases/bands that match
Meet all the things I was expected!
My third time buying from Keway Designs.. they have the coolest cases and not badly priced at all. I’ve had the same one on my phone for three years, with no screen protector and have dropped my phone numerous times and never damaging it.. the only reason I’m getting a new case is cause I got a new phone:)
I’ve had this case for about 3 years and it is still holding up. It’s been through a lot and still I’m decent condition, it’s worth the money
Love the design, solid phone case. Nice and light, streamlined size makes it easier to slip comfortably in a front pocket. Don't expect the same protection as an Otterbox, though.
I just updated my phone for the first time in years. I had this same case on my old phone and loved it, so I just got the new phone the same case. I also have a habit of putting my phone face down on the table when I eat, and when we go out to restaurants I get compliments on this case all the time!

Amazing, the walnut and gold look so good
It’s perfect
Great cover!
The quality is good, yet there are some points where the flashing is a bit sharp between the inlay and the veneer layer. I'm hoping it will smooth out over time though I'm concerned these will be points where peeling starts and decreases the life of the product.
