The dreaded antenna problem


Over the last couple weeks Apple Inc. has received a lot of heat for some "major" problems with its newest iPhone. One of these design problems is the shorting out of the external stainless steel frame/antenna. Recently declared solution: free bumpers to everyone!
But if you are like me and are willing to invest in a case you will enjoy for the next 2-4 years you have your device then you might want to consider a quick browsing of grovemade.com. This tiny group and architecture students has been milling away for a week or two on customer designed art to engrave on their bamboo cases. Here is a couple pics of the work.


I know you are wondering what costumer designed artwork could mean and what mine looks like. Well here is the image I sent them to get etched on the back of my case.


Some of the pre-designed artist work can be viewed here

  1. No way, that's pretty awesome. Along the same lines, if you're looking for a laptop sleeve or bag, use these guys: http://www.sfbags.com/

    It's a little pricey (refer to our recent discussion on "value") but they make em specifically for your laptop model. Fits mine like a glove.
