Grove case?

[BlindMellon]

Tight case like that, I wonder how it's affected by humidity and does it warp if it gets wet. Also looks like it would explode if you hit it on something.

I preordered one... amber bamboo with black cover. If all goes as planned, it SHOULD ship Friday. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but something about this case connected with me... maybe it is the 100% USA produced... I dunno. I do like the "leather out" configuration for the stand. Very smart.

Quick question: I notice that Grove sells the leather cover without the bamboo case as well.

Has anyone seen or tried it just with the cover? Does it work (hinged to the side of the iPad2) like the Apple SmartCover?

I like the cover (only) but do not like how the Apple covers look and feel. This one appears great though. I'd appreciate any help/guidance you may have.

Thanks!!!

I tried it without the case portion and just the cover. It does work like the Apple smart cover...but since the Grove has a 'tab' which will extend past the edge of the iPad it can be easy to activate the auto on/off function. Obviously you can turn off that feature to eliminate that.

How could anyone want this case? I really mean no disrespect, but that thing looks like my 6th grader made it in wood shop. That is an atrocious design...but to each his own, I guess.

You obviously have not seen one in person. If your sixth grader can make this in wood shop, put them to work and sell them. Grove has a 10 week wait period on these.

It does, and it did

Do you know if the Grove iPad 2 cover will work with a smart cover compatible back case?
