When it comes to mobile accessories, we’re faced with an endless variety of choices to match our lifestyles. However, it sometimes feels as though there are limited options of quality for consumers who value sustainability and cruelty-free products. No, it’s not a mirage; OtterBox is bringing the desert to you with a whole new spin on “plant-based” accessories.
At CES 2024, OtterBox’s Cactus Leather ecosystem was introduced to the industry; a new lineup of iPhone cases, MagSafe Wallets and Apple Watch bands made from an ethical and durable cactus leather alternative by Desserto®. The vegetal version of the popular material is crafted from sustainably harvested nopal cactus, meaning there no irrigation is required. Not even the cacti are harmed in the making of these cases! Let’s take a look at Cesium’s assortment.
Symmetry Cactus Leather Cases
When one thinks of leather goods, the words elegance and luxury come to mind. Similarly, OtterBox cases are synonymous in the minds of trusted users with Military-grade drop protection. Symmetry Cactus Leather Cases allow users to enjoy the best of both worlds. While pleasing to the eye, these plant-based cases feature DROP+ drop protection and are resilient to scratches and stains.
The Cactus leather-bound cases themselves are thin with a cozy felt interior, MagSafe compatible, and made with over 60% recycled plastic. Sleek metal buttons and camera bumpers both protect your devices’ features and bring an added level of elegance to the cases’ aesthetic.
Symmetry Cactus Leather cases are available at an MSRP of $79.95 in 4 colours (Cactus Grove, Noir Ash, Plum Luxe & Rich Adobe) for the iPhone 15 Series and a refreshed colour assortment for the iPhone 16 series (Noir Ash, Rich Adobe, Juniper Sprig & Maroon Bells).
Symmetry Apple Watch Bands
It’s ironic to refer an accessory that helps keep time as “timeless”, though I challenge you to find a better description for Symmetry Apple Watch Bands. Made from the same organic nopal cactus material with precise stitching along the edges and simple yet classic metal hardware, these straps are both pleasing to the eye and breathable for maximum all-day comfort.
They are available at Cesium in two sizes (45/44/42 and 41/40/38) in the colours Noir Ash and Rich Adobe (MSRP: $49.95).
Cactus Leather MagSafe Wallets
Finally, OtterBox would be remiss not to leverage a wallet within a faux-leather collection. Available in Rich Adobe and Noir Ash at an MSRP of $59.95, they are the perfect compliment to the leather accessory aesthetic. They snap on and off easily of most MagSafe phones and cases and hold up to 3 cards securely in place all day thanks to a built-in tensioner.
OtterBox’s new line of Cactus Leather accessories offers a sustainable and stylish option for your customers. From sleek phone cases to timeless watch bands and MagSafe wallets, eco-conscious solutions that don’t compromise on durability or design are at your fingertips. Make this collection your new top pick of ethically-made tech accessories!
