Best Eco-Friendly iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Cases – CNET [CNET]

This story is part of Tech for a Better World, stories about the diverse teams creating products, apps and services to improve our lives and society.

With more companies creating products made from recycled or biodegradable materials, eco-friendly phone cases are popping up everywhere. Like the best iPhone 12 cases, these protect your phone when you need it most. What makes these cases even better is that when you discard them, they don’t harm the environment. Some of these cases are made out of both recycled plastic and plant-based materials that are biodegradable. 

Eco cases can look and feel slightly different from standard thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU, cases — particularly the wooden ones — but most people wouldn’t even realize you were using an eco-friendly case unless you tell them. Many offer good drop protection, and all the cases on this list are compatible with wireless chargers.
