# Growing like bamboo: Portland’s Grove expands their bamboo case line to iPad 2

You remember [Grove](http://grovemade.com) right? The[ awesome Portland-based company that made amazing bamboo cases for the iPhone 4](http://siliconflorist.com/2010/11/09/portland-grove-exceptionally-awesome-iphone-4-cases-bamboo-limited-time-skateboards-maplexo/ "Portland’s Grove makes exceptionally awesome iPhone 4 cases out of bamboo—and for a limited time old skateboards")?

Well, they’re not stopping there. Turns out, the iPad could use a little protection from lovingly handcrafted bamboo artwork too. That’s right. [Grove now offers a bamboo iPad case](http://www.grovemade.com/collections/ipad-2-case-features "iPad 2 case").

I know right?

But they must outsource this stuff. There’s no way they hand make all of it.

Oh yes there is.

> No anonymous sweat shops! We make everything ourselves in Portland, Oregon. We believe in ethical business practices and the only way to guarantee that our manufacturing is done responsibly is to do it ourselves.

Well, they’re doing an awesome job of it.

I think you should treat yourself to an [iPhone](http://www.grovemade.com/collections/iphone-4-case-artist-series/ "iPhone") or [iPad](http://www.grovemade.com/collections/ipad-2-case-features "iPad case") case.
