I’m looking for an eco-friendly case for my iPhone SE (3rd generation). Are there any brands that use sustainable materials, like biodegradable plastics or recycled TPU? How do these materials compare to traditional cases in terms of durability and protection? Also, are eco-friendly cases more expensive, and do they offer the same level of functionality, like wireless charging compatibility?

Honestly im just starting to look into the specs of these materials because I was worried they might break easily or not protect the internals. I found that some of these plant-based compostable cases actually have pretty high shock absorption ratings which is good for reliability. If ur trying to save some money compared to the premium brands, you might want to check these out:
- Incipio Organicore
- UAG Outback Series
- Lifeproof Wake I noticed that Incipio Organicore is usually way cheaper and it still has like an 8-foot drop rating. Tbh I was worried about functionality too, but basically all of them are thin enough for wireless charging to work fine. I am still a bit of a beginner with the technical side of biodegradable plastics, but they seem to hold up pretty well for the price. Does anyone know if the compostable ones get sticky after a few months though?

Check out CASETiFY's Conscious collection. They use recycled plastic and have a decent selection of designs. Mine has held up well for 8+ months of daily use. The bumper protection is solid and the buttons still work perfectly. Around $50-65 depending on your iPhone model.
