While protecting your phone is a good thing to avoid damage, protecting the planet at the same time is even better. And one way of doing so is by using eco-friendly phone cases.
Most leading brands on the market, however, sell them for around £30. But luckily, Amazon offers more affordable options, such as the £8.99 eplanita Eco iPhone Case.
Adapted for iPhones 7, 8, SE and 7+ and 8+ (£7.99), the case comes in six colours – including black, khaki and pink. Made from fully biodegradable wheat straw and recyclable TPU, it’s designed to ensure resilience and durability, while being impact resistant and offering protection against falls.

The slightly matted texture also protects from fingerprints, scratches or stains. The case has a 4.6 rating from over 510 reviews.
A shopper wrote: “I was worried it would be too hard, but it’s perfectly supple and sturdier than the silicon case I had previously, easy to grip and the raised edges will surely protect the screen. My phone still looks sleek, whilst protecting the environment and not breaking the bank – super pleased.”
Another added: “This case is great, it fits my iPhone 7 like a glove with sturdy ridge/corner protection but still keeping the phone sleek. I love the soft, matte feel of the case – it’s easy to grip, not slippery and shiny.”
A third commented: “Absolutely love this phone case, didn’t have use of it for too long due to a phone upgrade but bought another for my new phone and still love it. Love the feel of the material and great for the environment, such a nice change away from plastic.”
Although a good product overall according to the reviews, some customers were disappointed by the durability of the colour: “Disappointed after nearly 2 months of use, loved it when it arrived really bright vibrant colour and sturdy case. Although the sturdiness has not changed at all, the colour of this case is now yellow/ brown.”
