Does The iPhone Need A Case Made Out Of Wood?

In the past, we've looked at iPhone cases made out of everything from titanium to cardboard to even "bacon."  Now, thanks to Vers Audio, makers of fine wood speaker/tuner docks, comes a collection of wooden iPhone/iPod touch/iPod Nano cases.  The cases retail for US$39.99, are made from either bamboo or US hardwoods (and Vers is active in tree replanting efforts), and have cutouts for date/time display.  And while they brag of wood's protective qualities, as well as the presence of a "Quick-eject rear finger detail," one wonders just how easy it is to pop a ringing iPhone out of its case in a hurry — much less do ANYTHING screen-related.
