WaveCase makes biodegradable phone cases from wheat straw, which are drop-tested 26 times to ensure they are as strong as conventional plastic phone cases. The company was created by two friends who grew up in a small town in northeast England, and saw firsthand the effect of plastic pollution in the oceans. Their phone cases are carefully designed to protect your phone, yet look stylish too in many designs and colours. The cases are also shipped in sustainable packaging. And if you upgrade your phone, you can return the case to get a discount on a new one. The old case will then be recycled into new cases or industrially composted.
The wheat straw means each case is unique, with small flecks in each design. The texture is smooth but grippy, so it will slide in and out of your pocket, but not out of your hands (unlike silicone). Note the lighter colours are prone to picking up dye from denim, so choose darker colours if this concerns you. The range includes phone cases for iphones, Samsung and Google phones, and some are Magsafe compatible. You can also purchase Airpod cases, Airtags, bio-based charging cables and recycled glass screen protectors.
