Not just for artists: The perfect personal protective case for your iPhone or iPad
When devices become indispensable companions in life, practical and durable protection for these devices is equally essential, at least if you expect your device to have a certain lifespan.
Just as important as practicality is, of course, the beauty of such a mobile phone cover, and individuality should certainly play an important role in the design of the new case for the “favorite everyday companion”.
iPhone 6 protective cases made of bamboo
If you have such requirements, you will surely like the products offered by the American company Grove focuses on iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Moleskine notebooks.
Grove was founded a few years ago in Portland, Oregon, when the Portland, Oregon-based companies Grove, laser engraving, and Maple XO, designer furniture, joined forces to create a new product line to protect our precious everyday companions.
The owners of both companies understood and still understand themselves as passionate creators who want to help us develop a completely new relationship with the products we use every day – they stand for innovation, responsibility, direct customer relations, the highest quality and longevity of the products they manufacture.
Grovemade – Handcrafted protective cases from Portland, Oregon
It all started in 2009 with the idea of designing and manufacturing the best possible iPhone case
Unfortunately, at precisely the same time, a prototype of the iPhone 4 was leaked by chance, meaning nobody wanted even the most beautiful Grove Case for the 3GS anymore. But the small company persevered… and was able to introduce the matching Grove Case just as the iPhone 4 was released, and sales skyrocketed.
What makes Grove Cases so special? They are of bamboo or wood , with a thoughtful and exceptional design and high-quality craftsmanship, and they are just simple, durable and individual enough to make customers happy.
The iPhone cases made from bamboo are not only made from a renewable and therefore ecologically advantageous material, they are also sanded by hand and finally polished with citrus oil – a true example of craftsmanship.
iPad protective case made of walnut
The Grove Bamboo iPhone 5+6 cases are currently available to order via the website grovemade.com for the iPhone 6, the iPhone 5 or for the iPhone 4/4S, in wonderfully simple solid-color surfaces as well as in many cool designs milled into the outside.
The lightweight yet incredibly durable bamboo protects your device from bumps, dirt, and drops – all of which can happen quite quickly when you're on the go.
The SkateBacks (iPhone backs) and the Skatecases (complete iPhone cases) , which Grove makes from the wood waste of skateboard production, are also true gems.
iPad Air Cover in Walnut
Jewelry is also her inspiration, jewelry that designer Linday Holmes of Maple XO has been creating for some time from the leftover wood from skateboard manufacturing – rings and bracelets, earrings and belt buckles and much more.
This colorful design has now also been applied to the SkateBacks and SkateCases, much to the delight of long-time fans of the fresh design.
What's consistently pleasing and striking about Grove products is the attention they pay to even the smallest details. For example, they promise that the iPhone can be charged while in the case, that the headphones will fit perfectly in the SkateCase, and that the integrated wooden power button protrudes far enough to be easily located by touch.
Macbook cover made of walnut
In addition to cases, Grove offers an interesting selection of covers and bags for the various iPad models and for the popular Moleskine notebooks.
If you want your iPad or MacBook to become a conversation starter, you can certainly achieve this quickly by giving the device a stylish yet understatedly smooth Grove bamboo skin…
Grove products are available exclusively through the company's own online shop , grovemade.com ; prices range from $29 to $159.
Do you think that such clever products made from fast-growing bamboo and recycled skateboard production waste are not a good fit as casings for products that the German Federal Environment Agency is advocating for an EU-wide ban because an empty battery requires repair or replacement of the device?
Since a corresponding extension of the EU Ecodesign Directive will certainly take some time, you will probably have no other option than to contact grovemade.com and suggest that they also produce cases for other smartphones, such as the Blackberry Z10, where the battery can be replaced…
