Investing in an eco-friendly phone case is a great way to stop this cycle. We’ve rounded up some of the best eco-conscious iPhone cases, all made from recycled plastic or vegan materials that are completely biodegradable.

You receive price alerts for Inbeage Earthever Bio Case
This is the only case on the list that I haven’t tried yet, but Amazon user reviews for it are positive and it costs less than $10.

It covers your entire phone and has raised edges, so that should help with any downward drops. It is available in six color options.

Lifeproof’s Wake case is made from recycled ocean plastic (85% of it anyway). It’s attractively designed but I wouldn’t call it super sturdy – it’s unlocked on the bottom and has 6-foot drop protection. It comes in four colors, including green, which I like. (If you were to get a “green” status, it might as well be green.)

KerfCase has been making handcrafted wooden cases for a while, and their new plywood case is not only more durable but less expensive than some, starting at $50, with 6-foot drop protection and a limited lifetime repair warranty. I like it better than other wood cases I’ve tried. It’s also worth noting that the Apple MagSafe charger will stick to the back of it, and KerfCase sells matching charging bases for the Apple MagSafe charger (yes, it’s an accessory accessory).
