Incipio Group today announced that it has bought another accessory maker, Griffin Technology. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Griffin offers cases, cables, chargers, desktop stands, and other products, with many available specifically for iOS devices. (Remember the iTrip transmitter for iPod?) The products will remain available under the Griffin brand, according to a statement.

Incipio Group started in 1999 and is based in Irvine, California. Some of Incipio’s first-party products compete with those of Griffin — for instance, Incipio’s Atlas phone case competes with Griffin’s Survivor series — but now Griffin will be less of a threat.
