Grovemade Wooden iPhone Bumper Review

Handcrafted in the good old U.S. of A, Grovemade’s wooden cases
are examples of true american craftsmanship. To that effect, the
folks over at Grovemade have literally put together some of the
nicest iPhone cases we have seen to date ,which are made of all
wood construction.
These cases are precision machined and hand
sanded and oiled in Portland, Oregon. In particular, their bumpers for
the iPhone 5S and 5C manage to accent the iPhone without covering
up the “natural beauty” of its backside.
The details in these wooden bumpers are superb – there are speaker
holes at the bottom, and the volume and power buttons have been
cut out perfectly into the wood. That said, inserting the iPhone 5S
into the bumper is a bit tricky – you’ll want to follow the included
instructions on how to snap it into and out of the bumper, so that
you don’t end up scratching your phone. On the other hand, inserting
and removing the bumper for the 5C is a lot less delicate. Speaking
of the 5C bumper, the bumper helps make the 5C easier to grip. It’s
also one of the nicest 5C cases we have come across, especially
considering that so many of the 5C cases out there are quite
unattractive.
The iPhone bumpers from Grovemade retail for
$39.99 and come in a choice of Walnut or Maple.
The Good: Beautiful craftsmanship, sleek design,
wood is chic and so much cooler than plastic, Not
made overseas like so many other cases are, Works
with all front and back screen protectors
The Bad: Won’t fit with every dock and lightning
cable, iPhone 5S bumper does not offer adequate.
