Laser anything you want into Alto’s new natural wood iPhone 16 cases, 20% off for 9to5 readers

20% off

The Alto handmade wooden iPhone 16 cases are now ready for purchase, and we have an exclusive deal for you too. Featuring your choice of locally sourced woods, the Alto Collective case design takes a different approach from your average mass-produced brands out there – everything is handmade and made to order. Straying from your average plastic and silicone body designs, Alto makes use of “beautiful woods sourced locally from FSC certified lumber mills and distributors” that remain “100% compatible with Qi wireless and MagSafe charging.” On top of that, everything is completely customizable, from the wood and colors you choose to the brand’s special form of laser engraving – you can leave the wooden case back natural, or have anything you want engraved right into it. The new wooden iPhone 16 cases are now live on the site along with its custom options (more on this below) and 9to5 readers can score 20% off their purchase using code 9TO5MAC at checkout.

Alto Collective is a small family run business looking to create environmentally-sustainable designs that show off the natural patterns and grain in the sustainably-sourced woods it uses, while truly allowing customers to customize the look of the case back. 

After following this link and starting the customize process, you can choose from a range of wood types and colors – the brand uses “water-based and food-safe finishes [on] cases made from 99% biodegradable and recyclable components” – before selecting from one of the many preset layer engraving images or not. 

But you can also upload your own image to have engraved on the back of the case – it results in a sort of burned in look with surprisingly more detail than you might imagine. The brand will be taking specific requests this year as well by way of a new system – you can simply just ask them for something like “I want to have a case with a picture of a penguin on a waterslide” or “I’d like a mountain range, but instead of a sun above it, I’d like there to be a guitar in the sky.”

For our review sample units of the new wooden iPhone 16 cases, I asked for “Tim Cook announcing the iPhone 16.” Check it out alongside some others below:
