Specifics
01

How it Feels

Soft, flexible and a little bit of grip is how every Pela Case can be described. Outside of being one of the most protective cases on the planet, the next most important thing is how a case feels in your hands!

Protect Your Phone and the Planet

02

How Protective Is It?

Let's face it, a compostable phone case NEEDS to also protect your phone from daily drops… otherwise what’s the point? We’ve had the Pela Case tested to far beyond your average phone drop out of a pocket so you can rest assured that the job of a phone case is still getting done.

03

How it Ships

While we pride ourselves on FREE shipping in Canada and USA and very cheap shipping to most of the planet, what we really stand for is minimal packaging. Every product that ships out goes out in the minimum amount of packaging required to get the items to their destination safely and securely. No more, no less.
04

Materials

The Pela Case is made of Flaxstic®, which is comprised of compostable bioplastic elastomer and flax straw materials. Our material has been tested to be safe and free of phthalates, BPA, cadmium and lead and is verified to meet child safety standards in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Our base material meets U.S. (ASTM D6400-04) and E.U. (EN 13432) standards for composting in an industrial composting facility and has a lower carbon footprint and lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional plastic. It can also be left to compost in a home composting environment.

05

Our Case Design

Meticulously designed to protect your phone from drops and scratches as well as any traditional plastic case. Precision cuts around speakers, charger, volume and power buttons. Carefully designed wrap around edges to protect the front of your phone. Smooth to the touch, flexible with no extra bulk.

Just the best

The cases are stylish, reasonably priced, keep your phone safe from damage when dropped, and are home compostable. What else where you looking for in a phone case?!

Excellent product

Love my second Pela phone case. I was satisfied with my first case, and when it wore off after several years I decided to buy another one. Offers a great fit to my older iPhone SE and great protection. I dropped my phone a few times and no damage. Great product, great company’s mission.

Great Cases

This is my second case from Pela. I returned to Pela because my first case was falling apart after years of use. But the main reason was because they still make cases for my iPhone SE (2016). My phone still works so I don’t see the reason to buy a newer one but man is it hard to find biodegradable cases for it. I wish there were more colors available, I used to have the Lavender case but they don’t make it anymore.

iPhone cover

Live the way this cover feels in my hand. It is less slippery than the ones at phone stores or on line. It’s more streamlined so it fits in my pocket better and doesn’t slip out of my pocket.

Just what we needed

Perfect for protecting an older phone that we use for music and books! Less "fun" that the many patterns you have, but 100% functional. I love that it protects from the kids dropping the phones, and overall have been very pleased with all my cases from Pela

Excellent Case!

Love the study case AND the many environmentally-friendly aspects of it, including the awesome packaging that doubled as a return mailer for my old case! So very happy to have found such a great company!

Great case!

It does very well at wrapping all the way around the phone (pulls up the screen protector a bit), but not a huge issue. It is very comfortable; would recommend to anyone.

Solid Case

This has been a great case so far, I bought it to replace my OtterBox that was falling apart. While I have had no major issues with it, after a few months of use, it feels like the rubber is wearing a bit and I can feel the plant fiber underneath. This being said, the case does not seem to be structurally affected. I would give it a 4.8/5!
