I absolutely LOVE Etsy! The products that I see make me so happy that there are so many people that can do such great things with their hands and trade. Sometimes, you find a hidden gem within the website:

Enter: Alvin Industries from Austin, Texas!
I just received my package from them today, and I realized that I had to write an article about it!
The Etsy account makes beautiful REAL wood and bamboo cases and keys for your Macbook laptops with backlight options, allowing you to unleash your inner hipster.
Now, some of you understand that wood is not the best material for anything (i.e. knife handles and such) due to its absorbent nature in regards to bacteria, sweet, and everything else, which is understandable. However, the interesting thing about the typeface and the cover is that both are treated to prevent absorption as well as to keep the wood in good condition for as long as possible.

There isn't much more to say on this beautiful product other than the great customer service and beautiful design! It was a little pricey due to shipping and it being real wood, but it is extremely worth it!
In all circumstances, Alvin Industries includes a card that tells your how to care for the wood as well as tack it on, and it even has a promotional code if you want to make another purchase! Fantastic!

Too bad I have a Google Pixel (which in my opinion, switching from iPhone 6 to Google Pixel was the best move ever), because I can't get this beautiful real-wood skin. If you search around his Etsy page enough, you can find a treasure-trove of thirteen wood decals for your phone. He also makes iPhone cases, which may not be completely protective, but still look pretty awesome!
So in conclusion, you guys have to go check this guy out. He does not disappoint!
