For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Grovemade to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win one of the company's wood iPhone cases and a matching dock. All of Grovemade's products, ranging from Apple accessories to desk sets, are made from high quality wood and leather, and everything matches.
Grovemade's docks, priced at $79, are made from wood and solid aluminum. Available in Walnut or Maple, the base of the dock is crafted from solid aluminum with a handmade wooden cap. An iPhone cable routes up through the aluminum base for charging purposes, and it's heavy enough that it's super stable on a desk.

Docks are available for all Apple iPhones from the iPhone 5 and later, and our giveaway winner will be able to choose the wood and size appropriate for their iPhone.
Grovemade offers four different iPhone case styles, ranging in price from $139 to $59. The Leather iPhone Wallet Case ($129-$139) features a frame carved from walnut or maple wood and covered with vegetable-tanned leather. It keeps the display safe from scratches and bumps but leaves the screen and all ports accessible.

The Leather Case ($109-$119) is a standard-style iPhone case with a wood frame and a backplate made from vegetable-tanned leather. Like the Wallet Case, the leather of the Leather Case will wear in and develop a unique look with use.

Grovemade also makes both a plain wood iPhone Case ($89 to $99) and a minimal iPhone Bumper, both designed to add minimal bulk while still protecting an iPhone. The iPhone Case uses a thin stick-on backplate combined with the iPhone Bumper to prevent dings and scratches.

(View all)I gotta wonder about the wood used in those products. Maple and walnut aren't as renewable as something like bamboo. It's a bit odd that they don't have an environmental statement anywhere on their website that can be easily found.
Perhaps this would be a concern if Grovemade's products were produced and sold at even a fraction of the volume of iPhone shipments, but I'd wager a guess that the amount of maple and walnut they use in production pales in comparison to even your average cabinetmaker. Do you expect the same environmental statements from major guitar manufacturers like Gibson and Paul Reed Smith, who not only use these same hardwoods, but hand select every last piece and also use much rarer species? How about hardwood flooring manufacturers?
