Root Case(s)

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a sucker for high-quality, unique, wooden products.

Dope. Dope. Dope.

After my recent purchase of the iPhone 4S, I constantly found myself holding onto this phone that was cold and super slick, so I set out looking for a case that was more natural looking & easier to grasp.  Enter Root Case: a small company based in Boise, Idaho that creates beautiful, hand-crafted, wooden iPhone, iPad, & MacBook Pro enclosures. Ideally cases for electronic products are all about design, but it's important for the product to look good while providing a substantial amount of protection for the device itself. Those concerns? Root Cases cover them all. Check out the video below for the Walnut iPhone Case:

The case itself is made out of one of four types of wood; bamboo, walnut, wenge, or zebrawood.  The inside of the case is felt-lined to insure your device stays snug & scratch free. The iPhone 4 case works with the iPhone 4S, as you'd expect, and weighs only .7 oz (practically nothin'!). The design keeps its user(s) grounded with a natural and earthy feel which compliment these modern yet amazing Apple product. The iPhone 4/4S Root Cases retail for around $59.

Sleek.

it's all about the deets.

Eye Spy

For every case sold, Root Cases works with Plant-It 2020 to plant a tree in a no-logging location. Additionally, 1% of all sales go towards supporting environmental non-profit organizations.
So feel good about this purchase; ‘cuz your iPhone will.

Jitta

This dude hit me up in my inbox a few weeks back with a single called "Drink Face," which posed as a pretty catchy beer-pong / drinking song. But his latest track 'Letters Pt. II' really caught my ear. After I heard the sample from The Fray's hit song 'You Found Me' mixed into this beat, I got hooked. Check it out:

.. Smooth joint. I'll puff on it.

REFLECTION: OVERWORKED & UNDERVALUED.

• Don’t complain about your job.

• At least you have a job.

• Don’t cry about how hard you have to work or how little you do.

• Because there is always someone else who would love to do your job & would do it twice as hard.

• To have a job, to be able to work, especially these days, is a privilege. 

• Nobody is entitled to a job, no one is promised a living. You have to earn it, you have to fight for it. 

• Treat your work with respect, have pride and honor in what you do, no matter what it is. Work to the best of your ability, it won't go unnoticed.

• What kind of a life is one where you don’t value your contributions to the world?
It’s a waste of life, it’s a waste of space, find knowledge or meaning in what you do.

• And if you really do hate your job, and if your work sucks that much, then quit today and start anew. Just remember that a job — work — is a huge opportunity to make a change in your life and that of others. Plus, you get paid money to do it. How cool is that?

* every now and then i need a reminder
