Over the past few years, many companies have begun to make great strides in producing more sustainable and environmentally friendly products. Although the tech industry still has a lot to catch up with, eco-friendly iPhone cases are on the rise. These iPhone cases, which are made from recycled and/or biodegradable materials, are more than capable of protecting your phone while helping the environment.
Also, the biodegradable cases will not harm the environment for years and years after you have finished using them. Some of the cases listed below are made from both recycled plastic and biodegradable plant materials.
Eco cases can look a little different than standard thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU, particularly wooden cases—but most people won’t even realize you’re using an eco case unless you tell them. Many offer good drop protection, and all of the cases on this list are compatible with wireless chargers.
It should also be noted that many of these cases are available earlier iPhone models, incl iPhone 11 And iPhone XSand many of those cases are discounted.

Moment’s iPhone 12 case is thin and comes with a soft touch feel. It is made of biodegradable materials so that the body becomes compostable after the polycarbonate parts are removed. It can be tossed in the compost bin when finished.

You know all those CDs you no longer listen to? Nimble makes clear iPhone cases out of them. It’s a little pricey at $50, but some of us like the idea of protecting the cutting edge with recycled technology and don’t mind paying extra for it. They have antimicrobial protection, are scratch resistant, and aren’t supposed to yellow over time. While the disc case is slim, it’s rated for 6-foot drop protection.

You receive price alerts for Incipio Organicore
Incipio’s Organicore boxes are made from 100% compostable and compostable materials and also have eco-friendly packaging. Organicore cases offer 8-foot drop protection and are available in three colors: Black, Natural, and Eucalyptus (pictured here). They look and feel like Torro Eco Cover cases and are really an issue between the two brands. Torro’s main advantage is that it comes in more attractive colors – red and blue – and currently costs less.
Note that Amazon is discounting certain Organicore box colors (the natural version is $10), but the green version shown is $15. Also, Organicore is available in a iPhone 12 Pro Max versionbut it costs more.

Casetify recently launched their new Ultra Compostable cans. Compared to its previous conscious cases, this new eco-model increases drop protection to 6.6 feet and is made from 100% compostable vegan material, the company’s proprietary blend of biopolymers, starch, and bamboo grains.
Casetify also says that the packaging is made from 100% sustainable, recycled, and biodegradable materials including eco-friendly, non-toxic ink made from soybeans. The case features a raised edge design to protect the screens and is available in seven color options. The price is high at $66, but the case is customizable with customization and prints.

Eplantita says its casing is constructed from 100% biodegradable wheat straw and recyclable TPU. It covers your entire phone and has raised edges, so that should help with any downward drops. It is available in several color options.

You receive LifeProof Wake price alerts
Lifeproof’s Wake case is made from recycled ocean plastic (85% of it anyway). It’s attractively designed but I wouldn’t call it super sturdy – it’s unlocked on the bottom and has 6-foot drop protection. It comes in four colors, including this one in teal, which I like best. (If you were to get a “green” status, it might as well be green.)

KerfCase has been making handcrafted wooden cases for a while, and their new plywood case is not only more durable but less expensive than some, starting at $50, with 6-foot drop protection and a limited lifetime repair warranty. I like it better than other wood cases I’ve tried. It’s also worth noting that the Apple MagSafe charger will stick to the back of it, and KerfCase sells matching charging bases for the Apple MagSafe charger (yes, it’s an accessory accessory).
