pela case Eco-friendly biodegradable phone case
As the market for smartphone cases grows, manufacturers are making various attempts. Sometimes special materials are used, special designs or illustrations are used as weapons, and sometimes functional.
Case maker pela case in Canada has taken a slightly different approach. Every time the sun goes down, the case is made of eco-friendly materials, considering that there are too many plastic cases that smartphone trends are going through. They sell cases using biodegradable materials made from bio-plastic elastomers and flax straws. Beyond simple biodegradability, it is advertised as a product that can be used as compost when it is put in soil.
It is a product that sells at a fairly high price, but I recently bought one because of the discount event. In Korea, some of the cases for the iPhone, some colors are imported from the Apple Store, and limited edition and other models require fasting.
All iPhone after iPhone 5, all Galaxy S / Note series after Galaxy S7 (except S7 edge, S10 5G), Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 series, case for Huawei P20 light are sold. I bought the Galaxy S10 Plus.
I have been put in a paper envelope like no other box.
It was just a case without a wrapping or an environment-friendly concept. White is a normal case, yellow is a limited edition Bee Collection.
Thank you for joining in eco-friendly letter.
The case itself is just a bar-shaped case, which you can attach directly to your smartphone. It is as flexible as a jelly case.
The case is equipped with a case. Thickness is typical, and looks like a normal TPU case when you put it in.
The feeling is not very tight. It is not enough to peel itself off, but it is fitted with a slightly loose feel. The width after the case is about 78.5mm.
The upper and lower parts are thickly raised to protect the display and the sides are also slightly higher than the edges.
The buttons are machined to fit the shape and are pressed well. You can press with almost the same force as when there is no case, and the click-through feedback is obvious.
Various holes are opened relatively easily.
Rear. The bee collection I bought has engraved honeycomb pattern on the whole rear side, and there are three middle bees. I feel pretty pretty overall.
The material used in this case is called Flaxstic. Feeling unique, it feels like touching the surface of the playground. Also, when you use recycled materials, the color is not smooth and the traces are clearly visible.
The camera part is made to fit perfectly, and it is very thick and protects the camera well.
Thickness is the thickest on the top / bottom is 11mm, the side is about 10mm.
This is how it looks when you put white.
The case itself does not have a special function or it does not protect the smartphone with mil spec certification, but there is no big inconvenience. The thickness is normal and the button sensitivity is fine, so there was no problem in using it. It feels a bit loose, but at least it did not peel. The touch is a touch, but I personally like it. I did not slip in my hand.
But the price is too high for such a normal case. The standard case price for a plain case is $ 40 when no sale is made, and the limited edition case with a pattern is $ 43 or $ 45. Even if you apply free shipping or some discounts to Korea through the event ... Considering the functional aspect of the case, it is quite burdensome.
So far we have looked at the biodegradable smartphone case of the pela case.
This product is a product that focuses on eco-friendly. If the pit is a little loose, the case itself is perfect, so it's always enough to keep it in a daily case, but it's more expensive than a normal product that does not have any shock protection.
However, if you think about the value of being environmentally friendly, you may feel that the value is enough for some people. This product is a compostable product, but as far as I can find it, there is not yet a case company using this level of eco-friendly materials in Korea. If you are interested in environmental pollution and sustainable development, you might want to take a look at this case.
