As if a wooden iPhone case wasn’t custom enough, Grove (makers of the up-cycled yet stylish Skatecase for iPhone) has launched an all new wood print case. If you have an Instagram photo you can make a case.

In less than a minute, customize a case using your own stunning Instagram photos. We use an advanced custom wood printing method, producing a durable, high quality image that lasts. The beautiful maple wood grain of your case peeks through the printed image, like a signature fingerprint, creating a unique look which can’t be achieved with manufactured materials, such as silicone or plastic.

You could have an iPhone case with a picture of you shredding or your girl’s bits right there on there on the back. The downside? The case costs $99.00 or as much as the new iPhone C on a two-year contract. For all the details follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Timothy Hogan’s Fin Photo Project

by The Editors on August 13, 2013

Timothy Hogan is a still life photographer who also surfs and while attempting to come up with a project that would merge the both pieces of his life he decided to focus on surfboard fins.

“I wanted to find merge to bring two passions together and to contribute something to the sport because it is an overlooked part of surfing that has never gotten to seen the light of day, “Hogan says. “The fin inventors who have really allowed surfing to progress have never been given the recognition that they deserve. The fin is probably the most important evolutionary point in surfing.”

The project includes a website, fine art prints (on sale now here), and eventually a book. And yeah, the photos look really good.
