There are a number of eco-friendly phone cases on the market and my research lead me to two companies - Wave and Wild. I was looking for a more affordable British option because the Pela cases I've seen advertised are expensive and ship from EU/USA. In the end I made my decision to order from Wave based on available stock.
We are three friends that are trying to encourage the change we want to see in the world, one biodegradable phone case at a time. Growing up in a small seaside town in the North East of England, we have seen first-hand the devastating effects plastic pollution has had, and is having upon our oceans.
Wave cases are made from wheat straw which is a biodegradable material. The small flecks visible in the case design are unique and from the straw. The case feels nice to hold and has a matt texture so it's not slippery. I was able to choose from a variety of plain colours, there are no artistic patterns or imagery designs and only a Wave logo imprinted on the back. According to the FAQ page it should protect against general wear and tear but it's not an impact case. Your phone may survive an accidental drop but of course no guarantees are made.
If you are looking for a new phone case then of course explore your options but I recommend considering Wave.
