Grovemade, one of the top designers of handcrafted wooden and leather accessories, recently rolled out a new collection of cases for Apple's latest smartphone, the iPhone 7.
In order to maintain the natural look of the wood, Grovemade makes sure it mills, hand sands and minimally treats its cases and docks.
Just as a reminder, Grovemade designs and crafts its accessories at its woodshop in Portland. Apple fans have no less than five types of docks and cases to adorn their newest iPhone.
Maple & Leather iPhone Wallet Case
The Maple & Leather iPhone Wallet Case is handcrafted with a minimalist design in mind. It holsters a sturdy frame made of eastern hard rock maple wood. Additionally, it is fitted with a vegetable-tanned leather cover that modifies over time, getting a vintage look. What is more, the interior flap of the case serves as a small wallet that can hold two credit/debit cards and a couple of folded bills.
The price for the Maple & Leather Wallet Case for the iPhone 7 sits at $129, with the one for iPhone 7 Plus asking users to shell out $139. Grovemade also builds such cases compatible with the iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/6s Plus.
Walnut & Leather iPhone Case
The Walnut & Leather iPhone Case comes in a two-part design that throws together a premium vegetable-tanned leather backplate and a bumper crafted out of Oregon claro walnut wood. The case for the iPhone 7 sells for $109, with an extra $10 for the 7 Plus model. Grovemade also builds such cases compatible with the iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/6s Plus/iPhone SE.
Wood iPhone Cases
For those who prefer thinness, get ready for Grovemade's unique precision joint design to keep your iPhone 7/7 Plus intact and glamorous. The company's iPhone cases come in either maple or walnut wood and have a single-use adhesive that can easily cling to the back of the iPhone, thus leaving no residue.
The wood cases for the iPhone 7 cost $99, while those for the iPhone 7 Plus cost $109. Keep in mind that this case model also comes in sizes fitting the the iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/6s Plus as well as the iPhone SE.
Wood iPhone Bumpers
The one-piece design makes use of the natural resistance of wood to deliver the first full wooden frame that is as resistant as a case. The bumpers are made of domestic hardwood, and the cases are polished with care to grant full access to all connectors and ports.
Like the cases, the wood bumpers come in maple or walnut options for the iPhone 7. The bumpers for the iPhone 7 have a price point of $59, while those for the 7 Plus handset cost $10 extra. You can get wood bumpers from Grovemade for the iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/6s Plus and iPhone SE, as well.
