This new bamboo case for Apple products will keep you Green and in style

It seems that bamboo cases are rather popular in the gadget world. Previously, we showed you a bamboo and walnut case for your iPhone 4 that was sure to turn heads and please our more style-concerned readers. Now, we bring you Blackbox Case‘s new bamboo cases for your Apple Products.

Inspiration hit Blackbox Case creator, Lance Atkin, when his protective neoprene laptop case failed to actually protect his laptop. After bringing his broken machine home, he designed the first Blackbox Case in Oak. Now, in its newest incarnation, the Blackbox Case will be available in Bamboo as well! …That is, if Blackbox Case can reach its goal of $25,000 (USD) by Thurday, September 15.

As of this post, Blackbox Case has managed to drum up $21,903 in pledges with only eight days left to go until the final decision comes.

To encourage fundraising for the venture, Blackbox Case has turned to the Kickstarter community and is promising to individually number and laser cut the leather straps on each case for those who have donated to the cause. Possible features include special laser engraving on the actual bamboo case itself, also depending on how many donations Blackbox Case manages to raise.

You can also pre-order cases through your pledges and donations. This depends, of course, on the actual amount you wish to donate.
