Alto Collective, a brand specializing custom engraved, natural wood iPhone cases for over a decade now, is ready to sheath your new iPhone 18 Pro. And 9to5 readers can score 10% off any order using code 9TO5MAC at checkout.
For those unfamiliar, Alto Collective is a small outfit delivering custom laser engraving on real wood since 2014. It has spent more than a “decade refining a process that can turn everything from company logos and illustrations to photos and rough customer ideas into detailed, engraving-ready artwork.”

If you’re into this kind of thing, and the imagery found in this post is intriguing, the brand is certainly worth a look. The cases start at $37 and you can land 10% off that using our exclusive 9TO5MAC code at checkout.
New this year is the Retro Inlay Collection for iPhone 18 Pro – it combines real wood inlays with engraved halftone shading to “create dimensional, vintage-inspired designs that still sit completely flush with the case back.”
- World-Exclusive Species: We work with rare, difficult-to-process woods that mass-manufacturers ignore. Natural wood grain ensures no two cases are ever identical.
- Vibrant Tinted Woods: Using in-house water-based stains, we tint wood into deep, vibrant colours. The tint is sealed into the grain, becoming a permanent part of the wood.
- High-Contrast Engraving: While others offer faint “embossed” looks, our in-house process cranks the contrast to 100%. Your designs are deep, crisp, and clear on any wood species.
- Food-Safe Finish: Every case is hand-finished with water-based, food-safe coatings that make your case water and scratch-resistant.
