Hulger PIP: The Wooden Edition

Tango pointed me to this genius new Hulger PIP* phone last week, shown here. It’s fashioned from grained African hardwood Ziricote– apparently some fancy type of Blackwood. It comes in a wooden box which also has a wooden container of wax to treat the natural wood over time. Their slogan for this one is “this phone is designed to wear in, not wear out”, if you splurge for it you can probably be sure the wood will last a lot longer than the technology inside. This one-of-a-kind piece will put you back about $3850, but it’s a perfect blend of “innovation and tradition”– truly a Flinstone meets Jetson statement here, we want one!
