If your looking for a story of just how resilient the iPhone 4 can be, look no further than U.S. Air Force Combat Controller Ron Walker’s story of how his iPhone 4 slipped out of his pocket at 1,000ft and was later recovered using the MobileMe Find My iPhone App. To everyone’s surprise the iPhone 4 was in great condition with nothing more for protection than a simple Griffin case.
Taking a very unique approach to a case for the iPhone 4 is Grove, a company specializing in custom machined bamboo products. Does their iPhone 4 case live up to its looks?
For all of you iOS device users out there (iPad, iPhone, iPod) you have probably seen the news that Airprint has been enabled in iOS 4.2, but works only with a select few HP printers at this time. After some digging, we found a way to enable Airprint like it was originally intended to work…with shared printers through the iTunes bonjour service.

As some of you already know, I run a website design business in addition to Tech Islands. I wanted to show off one of my latest projects for a technical solution company, UpNet Technologies. They are an interesting company focusing on enabling businesses to effectively utilize technology through integration.
Another great case for the iPhone 4 from Otterbox has made its way through our review process and is ready for your viewing pleasure. The Otterbox Commuter Series for the iPhone 4 is a balance of protection and size that should prove to be a great case for many everyday iPhone 4 users.
In our quest to find the best iPhone 4 case, Grove struck us as a very unique entry with their Bamboo custom manufactured cases. The Grove Made cases are made right in Oregon and each one is milled and hand finished to make for a very unique design with a lot of care put into the manufacturing process.
Grove offers two colors of plain wood for the iPhone 4 in addition to their artist series that gives you a selection of designs to pick from to have engraved on the back. We went for the plain bamboo maple case by Grove with the black bezel.
The only drawback? Grove estimates that it will be a few weeks before we get our hands on it. I am hoping it will be well worth the wait though!
