Otterbox’s new cactus-based iPhone case simultaneously saves the planet and clumsy scrollers wallets

In Colorado, popular phone case-maker OtterBox has developed a new iPhone 15 phone cover made from Desserto, a plant-based material made from nopal cactus. Not only can the Symmetry Series Cactus Leather cases withstand daily drops and bumps, they are also resilient to scratches and stains.

The collection, which also an Apple Watch Band Cactus Leather, is available on otterbox.com.

“Symmetry Series Cactus Leather is the perfect blend of material innovation, protection and style,” OtterBox CEO JC Richardson said in a press statement. “Working with the team at Adriano di Marti, makers of the plant-based Desserto material, we developed a case that offers both luxury and durability. This is also the slimmest Symmetry Series case we’ve ever made, while still delivering the trusted OtterBox protection everyone knows and loves.”
