About Us

Keyway is a small-batch manufacturer, designer, and retailer of handmade wood, leather, and resin phone cases. We are based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and have been building cases by hand since 2012.

Why "Keyway"?

The name Keyway is symbolic of opening a locked door and starting something new. Originally, this was based around the founders' move into the business world and has evolved into the adventurous spirit that Keyway holds today.

Our Mission.

We set out to build the best handmade phone cases in Canada. Not mass-manufactured plastic, not printed decals, not vinyl wraps. Real wood, real leather, and hand-poured resin, cut and assembled in our workshop for every order. We make cases for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy that look and feel like nothing else on the market, and we back every one with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Over 115,000 customers have carried a Keyway since 2012.

Our Roots.

Keyway started in early 2012 in a garage with a laser cutter and a conviction that phone cases could be built from better materials. Wood was the obvious starting point: every species has its own grain, colour, and character, which means no two cases are ever exactly alike. We started with a handful of designs and a lot of trial and error, figuring out how to laser-cut veneer, bond it to a protective shell, and make it durable enough for everyday carry.

What started in that garage has grown into a dedicated workshop in Mississauga, Ontario, where our small team designs, cuts, assembles, and finishes every case by hand. We have expanded from wood into Italian full-grain leather, hand-poured epoxy resin, canvas, and acrylic, and from iPhone into Samsung Galaxy. Our production goals for Keyway don't stop at phone cases; we have big plans for our future, so keep an eye on us.
