A company out of Detroit, Michigan called Original Stix felt that there was a lack of phone cases available for hockey enthusiasts. After collaborating with automotive engineers, they have come out with a phone case that features two small pieces cut out of a real composite hockey stick.
Their idea was that instead of sending broken sticks to the landfill, they could reuse them in an original and unique way. The case comes with two panels cut out of a broken hockey stick, which can be removed and replaced for a different, personalized set. Original Stix cases are precision and hand assembled by members of the Disabled American Veterans group, which ensures a quality made product that supports a good cause.
Currently, Original Stix cases are only available for the iPhone 5/5s in black or white, but they are currently looking into producing cases for other devices. You can check out their website at originalstix.com.

Very disappointed by the quality of this case. The concept is amazing and I would love to have another one if the quality is improved. The case doesn’t fit well to the iPhone 5s and easily pops off anytime you adjust your grip on your phone or try to put it in your pocket. Don’t waste your money until the company is able to improve the cases.
After contacting the company, they quickly responded and are promising to send out a replacement case that is of better quality. Customer service is honestly the best I’ve ever dealt with, just waiting on the replacement case to get here!
