The Grovemade chocolate iPhone case has a chance to be the best-selling smartphone case of all time if it ever goes into mass production. Grovemade, a sustainable electronics case company in Portland, Oregon, worked with Portland's Woodblock Chocolate to craft an edible iPhone 5/5S case. The case is 100 percent functional, although it may dirty white phones.
The chocolate shell of the Grovemade chocolate iPhone case may not be able to withstand hard falls, but it can be snacked on, giving it an edge over other cases. As mentioned, the chocolate case is fully functional, with holes for the camera lens and buttons. Unfortunately, Grovemade does not plan on selling any of these cases. That being said, hopefully other case companies see the chocolate iPhone case and are inspired to create a line of edible phone cases. Edible electronics may very well be the final frontier.
