5 Reasons to Ditch Your Plastic Phone Case Today
What the phone case industry doesn't want you to know. (And what the Radium Girls can teach us.)
See the Healthier Alternative →You just watched the story of the Radium Girls. Workers told their product was safe. It wasn't.
Now look at the phone case in your hand. Here are 5 reasons why you should think twice about what you're holding.
You Touch Your Phone 96 Times a Day
That's not a typo. Research shows the average person touches their phone 96 times per day. That's over 2,000 touches per week.
Now think about what you do with those hands. You eat. You touch your face. You prepare food for your kids.
Whatever is on your phone case is transferring to your skin. Every. Single. Time.
Cheap Plastic Cases Are Shedding Toxins Onto Your Skin
Most phone cases are made from the cheapest materials possible. PVC. Polycarbonate. TPU. Materials that shed microplastics with every touch.
- Microplastics — Microscopic particles that transfer to your skin and enter your bloodstream
- Phthalates — Hormone-disrupting chemicals used to soften plastics
- BPA — Linked to developmental and reproductive issues
- Heavy metals — Lead and cadmium used in cheap pigments
You wouldn't eat off a plate coated in these chemicals. Why are you pressing them against your face 96 times a day?
Companies Know. They Just Don't Care.
The Radium Girls were told their product was safe. The company had internal memos proving it wasn't. They just didn't care because it was cheap.
The phone case industry operates the same way. They know about microplastics. They know about the chemicals. They manufacture overseas in factories with zero oversight because it saves money.
Your health isn't their priority. Margins are.
There's a Safer Alternative (Made with Plants)
Not everyone chose profit over people.
A company in Kelowna, British Columbia spent years developing a phone case material made from flax and biopolymer. Plant-based. Soft to the touch. And completely free of the toxic chemicals found in traditional plastic cases.
- 50% less microplastics than traditional plastic cases
- No BPA, phthalates, or heavy metals
- Certified safe for kids in 5 countries
- Soft, grippy texture that actually feels good to hold
- Compostable when you're done with it
