From the purveyors of stylish bamboo iPhone cases comes a new case just for the brand new iPad 2. The new Grove iPad 2 Case ($79+) combines a hard bamboo back and a fold-over leather cover that uses similar technology and design to the Apple Smart Cover. The magnets in the leather cover wake the iPad when opened and put it to sleep when closed, and the case folds into a stand for either typing or viewing. The 100-percent bamboo body offers full access to all the iPad’s ports as well as a precision speaker grill. The body is available in either amber or natural bamboo tints, and has a hand-rubbed natural oil finish. Perhaps best of all, the vegetable-tanned leather cover can be customized with artwork from a large selection, or users can even upload their own design to be laser-engraved on the case. The company is taking pre-orders now and will ship the first cases within two months.

I love it! It's really beautiful.
No way would I lard up the iPad 2 with this giant hunk of wood. Good grief!!! It sort of defeats the purpose of making the iPad lighter and thinner to then wrap it in this thing!!
It's really great to see so many different options for the new ipad 2. There's bound to be a case for everyone's budget and tastes!

Luxurious and sophisticated. Made by European leather Artisans from beautiful Italian calf leather.
Hope you like them too!
Lol. Why would you get such a heavy and dumb cover?
Why is it dumb? Not everything has to be super thin and light either…
Love this company. Super high quality products that are very unique. What's the decked out price?
The customized prices for the iPad 2 case haven't been released yet, but on the iPhone 4 case customization bumps the price up about $30.
