Following up on its release of the Pixel 7 series last year, Carved has now released its “Live Edge” cases made from real wood for the Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Carved is a small company based in Indiana that makes smartphone cases and other products made from real wood and resin. The company is best known for its iPhone and Samsung Galaxy cases, but it has also produced cases for Pixel smartphones like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
Last week, Carved released its “Live Edge” wood cases for the Google Pixel 8 Pro, but not the smaller Pixel 8 this time.
These handcrafted wooden cases are custom designed for your device, and are CNC machined from a block of wood burls and resin. Carved designs often include vibrant colors that contrast with light or dark wood, and the beauty of the “Live Edge” look is that it extends across the entire phone, not just the back.
Each case is unique, as Carved explains:
Every instance you see is an image of what we call a “cluster.” When you place your order, we load that block into our CNC and machine it for your phone. Then we sand it, polish it, add the metal studs, and ship it to you. Each one is unique, designed just for you.
Also in the box is a ring of magnets designed to work with Apple’s MagSafe, and now also any Qi2 accessories.
Carved already has dozens of designs available for the Pixel 8 Pro, all priced at $189.
These designs also include the company’s new “Orbit” series, which includes looks inspired by outer space and planets. Carved also has cases available on pre-order for Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series, both in this Live Edge option as well as the company’s more affordable standard case design which just has a wood and resin design on the back attached to a standard rubber case.
