Once you’ve bought your iPhone 4, you’ll be needing a case to protect it from scratches. I’m not talking an overpriced Bumper. I’m talking an overpriced, stylish case made from bamboo, complete with designer etchings on the back.
Grove, a company based in Portland, Oregon, specialises in using sustainable, eco-friendly materials. Their new case for iPhone 4 only adds .07 of an inch to the thickness of the phone, with a metal bezel and custom engravings on the back.
Normally priced at $US99, they’re currently selling them off for $US49 if you pre-order. That $US49 price is for the plain variety, but if you’d like an engraved one, then it’ll set you back $US69. [Grove Made]

So in short (pun not intended), a case doesn’t hurt the signal, it helps.
