While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

If you look at other recyclable or sustainable phone cases it's not actually that much expensive. It seems unreasonably priced if you compare them to cases that are not at all eco friendly.

    I have already made that comparison, and still have found it double the price of other cases that you describe.

    Cases from recycled materials should be cheaper, as they are don't having to purchase virgin material, not more expensive.

    Anyone charging a premium for recycled material products is usually targeting and taking advantage of 'green' customers.

    The ability to recycle most plastics in 2023 is pretty standard unless they're overly cleaning or bleaching the material, in which case it is no longer environmentally friendly.
