    Meteor model WUD Life rock case for the Note 8

    The folks at WUD Life reached out to me a couple of weeks ago to see if I wanted to check out one of their cases made with actual rock and wood materials. A Meteor color rock phone case arrived and it is truly unique.

    Looking around on the WUD Life website, I got the impression that the wood and rock cases were sanded or polished while offering a case that isn't the same as any other out there with different cuts of wood and stone. While the back rock looks cool, it is also rather rough and I won't place my Note 8 down on my cherry-colored desktop because it is likely to get scratched.

    I was also worried that the rock material would break if the case was bent or bumped. However, the processing of the stone includes a coating to keep it intact. I was able to bend and twist the case to the extremes without any cracking of the rock material.

    The rock material is embedded in a soft touch rubber material that protects the outside shell of your Note 8 while also offering some shock absorption. The rubber also helps you hold onto your Note 8 with anti-slip material. It is lightweight at just 34 grams and doesn't add much bulk to your Note 8.

    My Note 8 is usually found in my front or back pants pocket, but the WUD Meteor rock case wasn't the best for slipping in and out of my pockets. I personally didn't like the rough feel of the stone either and to be honest this is not a case I would use on a daily basis. If you are looking for something with cool looks, then you might want to consider it at $29.95.

    I would prefer to have polished stone material, similar to my granite kitchen countertops, which is what I was honestly expecting. It would be interesting to see if the wood options are polished. There are seven rock variations and many wood options, including etched wood designs.
