Beautiful Bamboo Smartphones

The HTC Go Green Comes with a Back Made from Renewable Woody Grass

— May 29, 2015 — Eco
This is a concept for a bamboo smartphone, not a bamboo phone case. The backing would actually be made from the eco-friendly material, offering a handful of benefits as far as aesthetics and functionality go alike.

Anyone who might be inclined to purchase a wooden mobile phone cover would instead be able to keep that slim design of his handset, eliminating any bulk and maximizing on a rich and natural texture. Streaks of light to dark grain wood grain draw up the sutbly curved panel, which protects the battery case directly. Precision-cut holes in the material surround the HTC Go Green's digital camera and flash, and black bands align these elements with sharp detail. This bamboo smartphone embodies a marvellous marriage between organic design and technological aesthetic.
