Walnut Pure - Wood Phone Case
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Simplicity at its finest. The Walnut Pure is crafted with a single piece of Walnut veneer and laid diagonally, because sometimes simple is best. For the minimalist, or those who just want the texture and grain of wood without the unnecessary details, this wooden phone case is for you.
The Walnut Pure is exactly what the name suggests: a single piece of walnut veneer with the grain running at a 45-degree angle across the back of the case. No inlays, no prints, no mixed materials. The angled grain is a small detail that makes a real difference. Most wood cases on the market run the grain straight up and down or side to side, so the diagonal cut gives the Pure a subtle visual distinction that sets it apart without trying too hard.
Walnut is one of the most versatile and recognizable hardwoods we work with. The warm brown tones and distinctive grain pattern look good on every phone colour, and the semi-gloss finish keeps the surface smooth under your thumb. This case has been a consistent seller for years, never the flashiest design in the lineup, but always a reliable choice for people who want a clean, quiet wood 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
I initially bought this case for my 16 pro max, I fell in love with the design and images shown and couldn't wait to get the case.
I purchased a temporary "carve it" wood veneer case on Amazon as a placeholder until this arrived, when it did I was surprised to see that the case was thin, bendable, and easy to fold in on itself.
While the walnut initially looked attractive in the box, when in hand and front of me I found the wood veneer used on these cases is super thin, it's flat and flush with the rubber case itself allowing the case to fold in on itself with the slightest of bend - wood veneer itself feels like touching a piece of plastic, it just looks and feels like wood vinyl flooring.
With how thin the veneers used on these cases are the wood looks, feels, and presents plastic and fake up close, arguably from a distance you couldn't tell.
In its defense: from afar it's attractive, it's lightweight, and the mag safe works well, but it's not thick or protective enough - It feels in hand and looks in person up close, flimsy, and cheap.
I wound up going back to the Amazon "carve it" wood case for half the price; it has nearly twice as thick rubber, an engraved and significantly thicker wood veneer that prevents you from bending or folding the case entirely in on itself and it looks and feels in person significantly superior, especially when it comes to the wood, it's appearances/grain feel are superior, the wood itself is raised and beveled downward to match the case, if you tap on it, it sounds like wood, not plastic and it offers engraved images or blank faces as options, it's heftier and the wood used looks genuine and not like a wood vinyl floor tile.
I don't mean to leave a horrible review and I hope what said here can be used to improve the product, but after hyping myself out over past reviews for older iPhone releases and surprisingly finding myself using a less expensive aftermarket case that's somehow superior, I figured I'd write a review for others for once.
If it wouldn't be a hassle to return this I would, I was super excited about this purchase and completely surprised by how things turned out.
Thank you for all the feedback, we appreciate the time you took to write a detailed review! While we can understand the desire for a thicker, more 'raw' feeling wood backer, we actually specifically wanted to avoid this and have spent a lot of time matching up a resilient wood finish with the right type of wood veneers. The reason for this is moisture-related warping. Way back when Keyway started in 2012, we used to use thicker wood but found is nearly impossible to protect the thicker wood with a thick enough coating to prevent warping when they got a little bit wet on one side (sweaty pocket or a wet table). We certainly understand that this may not be the right choice for everyone though and would like to say thank you for giving Keyway a try!
This is my second case and my iPhone 8 case is still running good. My second case is for my iPhone 11 Pro Max and love it just as much. I think you have a customer for life. Keep up the great cases.
Beautiful case, cutout for ports and speakers are all very accurate. Only complaint I have is that the buttons on the side of the case are not very prominent. It's very difficult to tell by touch where they are.
Nice fit an quality seems good so far !
Looks great, like the feel of the wood and i like the grippy sides.
Walnut Pure - Wood Phone Case
These guys are the best! Love my new case!!
Walnut Pure - iPhone 15
I have had my new phone cover in daily use for over a month now. It still looks like new and works great!
I wish the volume button was more prominent, but that's just me. It works great as it is.
Love quality
The power button presses down almost too easily making it easy to accidentally press it if you hold the phone a little bit off
Walnut Pure - iPhone 12/12 Pro
Its insane
Great quality case! Looks good, feels good to carry and in my pocket.
No K on the case.
The walnut iPhone case is like a piece of good furniture in your pocket. It's beautiful. It speaks of a certain lifestyle. Totally unique and a huge relief from trendy plastics! And it's not heavy--no added weight. Genius.
Fits perfect, clean looking durable case!
My 15 yr old Son picked this case because it was simple and natural. Very nicely made and durable.
Very nice case, really compliments your iPhone
Looked at other cases for my new iPhone XR but I still came back to Keyway. Great protection and grip on the phone without being too bulky. I chose the walnut grain this time for something simple and elegant.
Nice case, works well. As other reviews mention, the buttons aren’t very obvious to the touch but that doesn’t bother me.
It is the best iPhone case I have
The wood design is awesome, its exactly what you're looking for but I don't think the buttons are pronounced enough.
I'm getting used to to the issue but with no visual (i.e. through a jacket pocket), trying to volume up or down can be a pain.
Still a sweet case 😀
Second case I've purchased, both are amazing. The first case is over a year old and in as good condition as the day I bought it.
Great phone cover for the price.
Protects as good as my other , much bulkier otter case.
Only complaint is that there is little to nothing that helps you feel the separation between the buttons on the volume rocker. I'd love to see at least a single small dot on each button or a ridge separating them.
I bought my husband and myself case for Christmas! He loved his, but I got the wrong size for mine. I returned it, and it took over a month for them to replace it. But I got it today and I am pleased! It was worth the wait! It’s looks classy and I love the fact it was made in Canada!
Thanks, Keyway!!
