As part of their mission to create a new path for personal tech, with every Disc Case purchase, you receive a free shipping label to send any used plastic cases and if you do, you get a 15% off your new purchase. Something pleasantly surprising that I noticed is that when in certain light conditions, the Disc Case reflects a subtle rainbow effect reminiscent of CDs.Īnother extra feature is the permanent antimicrobial protection that helps a lot with putting your mind at ease regarding the cleanliness of your phone, especially now in the context of a global pandemic.īut Nimble doesn’t stop at recycled CDs. Nimble fixed this by adding a special treatment process that addresses anti-yellowing while also preventing scratches on the surface. While still very visible, these extra details are quite subtle and nonintrusive to the design.Ī general problem of clear cases is that after a few months of wear, they develop an unpleasant yellow tint. Turning the case on the other side, you can see the Nimble logo together with the statement “Made from recycled compact discs” on the lower back side. The Disc Case is also 6ft Drop-Test Certified. That is thanks to the impact-absorbing outer band that is quite rigid together with extra reinforcements at the corners and a slightly raised outer lip all around the case. It sports a minimal, clear aesthetic that compliments the design of your iPhone and its colour, while still making sure it is well protected.
Made of what Nimble calls “Replay” material, the Disc Case is available for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 2020 SE. From Drake to Nirvana, the clever graphics have a little twist, the Nimble elephant. Each case comes in a separate plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging that surprises you, as every box features modified covers of famous albums. I loved the case even before seeing it, as Nimble sent me a beautifully nostalgic cardboard box containing all four case models. Nimble strives to address this question and brings to the market a beautiful iPhone case that stands for a good cause. That is because the question remains: “How can we use our waste to address environmental concerns while still building capital?”. Concepts such as “circular economy” and “cradle to cradle” design have indeed become more transparent and attractive for the ordinary customer but there are still not enough companies producing in a sustainable, ethical way. Made from 100% recycled CDs and donating 1% of sales to environmental non-profits, the Nimble Disc Case offers many reasons to finally go eco-friendly.Īs fast-moving trends compel us into mindless consumption, we keep contributing to the ever-growing amount of global waste.
