#1 Clumsy consumers can still be eco-friendly with plant-based iPhone case

In California, mobile tech company Incipio launched a line of biobased iPhone cases at the landmark electronics show CES 2020. Dubbed Organicore, the cases are 100% compostable—biodegrading after about six months—and are available in black, deep pine, green, stone gray, and “oatmeal” beige.

The company has also extensively tested the cases to ensure being eco-friendly won’t mean a cracked screen for your precious—and pricey—device. Organicore can withstand 6-foot drops and are form-fitting. They also are compatible with wireless charging.

The cases are priced around $40 and can be purchased online for iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
