Restore - Wood & Gold Phone Case
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Kintsugi, also known as Kintsukuroi, is an old Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and gold, and it's from there we drew inspiration when crafting the Restore. This wooden phone case features a Wenge backer, cut through with lines of gold metallic, as a reminder to embrace flaws and imperfections, and to consider them part of your story, too.
The Restore is inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Rather than hiding the cracks, kintsugi treats them as part of the object's history, making the repair more beautiful than the original. We adapted that idea for wood: pieces of wenge are laser-cut with deliberate fracture lines, and the gaps are filled with inlays of gold acrylic. The result is a design that looks like it was broken apart and put back together with gold, which is exactly the point.
Wenge was a natural choice for this design. Its dark colour creates strong contrast with the gold acrylic veins running through it, and it has been one of our best-selling wood species for as long as we have been making cases. Each piece is laser-cut and assembled by hand, with the gold inlays pressed into position for a flush surface across the entire back of the case. 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
Ive had this case for almost 2 years, its faded a bit but still has a snug fit. I drop my phone daily and still no cracks. I highly recommend this case!
Slim n looks great, feels protected
I had bought a case for my galaxy s9 years ago and absolutely loved it. Wonderful craftsmanship, always got compliments on it... I finally upgraded to an s23 and Keyway was my only choice for a case! Unfortunately quality seems to have declined over the years. The case is clearly plastic, and looks incredibly cheap and tacky. I will be returning it ASAP and steering people towards Etsy shops where you can get much better quality for half the price
Hi Adam, Thank you for the feedback, I'm sorry to hear that you wern't happy with the new S23 case! If you havn't already reached out about a return please do so and we'll get you set up. I would like to clarify though: From the S9 to the S23, there have been no changes to the materials or construction of the case. If your original S9 case was a different design, that may have been using other materials as all our designs use different things (leather, wood, acrylic, canvas, etc...). The Restore, in particular, uses Wenge wood veneer, gold plated acrylic, and is mounted to a polycarbonate and TPU frame. Please reach back out if you have any questions!
Great product and great service. Happy to support Canadian business
Convient très bien sur mon telephone, très bonne qualité, Je suis Satisfaite :)
This is my Second time to buy another case from them. My first one last for almost 3 years before i upgraded to brand new iPhone.
Restore - Galaxy S8+
Good style excellent quality
Stylish and good looking, tough and still on my phone
Love the feel of the case, and it’s nice and slim. Still a few mm above the screen and the camera on the back. Lovely pattern. Get the screen protector with it! Fits perfectly.
Love it
This case company was recommended to me by a friend. So glad he did. Beautifully made. Light weight and durable.
As described
Durable and worth every penny. I love the wood grain feel and the textured sides that help with grip.
After I purchased this case for my IPhone 14pro max I returned the other two cases I had ordered!
The build, feel and look of this case is the best I have ever seen.
The case has an almost rubbery feel to it which was a pleasant surprise.
Don’t hesitate to pick one of these up!!
The case arrived is good condition, and the packaging was adequate to protect it. I am moving away from a Nomad case, which is also excellent quality, but this case will, I believe, better stand up to the rigor of my workday.
The only thing I would change, if I was Keyway, would be to generate random patterns for this specific case as that would lend to the theme of mended imperfections. I did not remove a star for this since I knew that would not be the case.
I loved the style of the cases and have been so pleased by the outstanding quality! I will definitely order again and would definitely recommend it! I drop my phone often and the case has kept is safe and protected!
I really love the look of this case. It’s very elegant and the gold accents match the iPhone 12 Pro Max well. It’s light comfortable to hold.
I knock a star off purely for two things, which I feel are easily addressed with a slight design change. Firstly, the buttons are so minimal along the sides that it’s often difficult to know if your finger is on the button before you press it. Secondly, there is a smooth chamfered edge along the back, where the wood meets the case. This actually makes the case harder to hold, as this smooth edge lacks any grip, and totally negated the pleasant feel of the newer iPhone 12 design. Replacing this with the same style edge that runs along the front would majorly improve the feel and grip.
If this design is ever changed, I would love to know, as I would happily buy an updated version of this case for the aesthetics alone.
Absolutely love the phone case.
Fits perfectly, looks amazing.
Feels great in hand. Definitely worth the buy. Also very high quality.

I’m in love with it and get so many compliments.
Got this as a 40th bday present for my husband & he loves it!! Thank you- super classy & well-made.
Love it!
Restore - iPhone 5/5S/SE
Great case. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because they need to make the lock button extent out more because it gets lost and is hard to find and press.
Beyond the unique design, the quality of this case was top drawer. It was also delivered faster than expected.
I’ve admired the look of these cases forever and finally bought one. It lived up to expectations- quality is good, detail is great, I get compliments all the time- it’s a great fit.
Really like the quality of the case. Very grippy sides and buttons are sleek but still easy to press
Didnt expect much at first from a Facebook ad but was extremely happy with the product!
