Recycling and the circular economy

Our SmartShell is made from polypropylene (PP) with a proportion of recycled PP and natural wheat-straw fibres. The material used has been tested for biodegradability under defined conditions.

At the end of its service life, we recommend disposing of the case with residual household waste. Suitable separate recovery systems for this type of material are currently not widely available.

FAQs

Is the case compatible with Fairphone's own backplates or modular backplates?

No.

The SmartShell 6 completely covers the back of the Fairphone 6 and cannot be used with Fairphone backplates or other cases.

It offers a stable back, an integrated magnetic ring and reliable all-round protection.

What is the purpose of the integrated magnetic ring?

The magnetic ring allows the use of magnetic accessories. For example, you can use mounts, grips, or the TwinsCarryStand without removing the case. Full functionality is retained.

What is the insertion slot for?

It serves as an extension for the Biowaves HangHub – to securely attach hand straps or carrying straps.

You can find the HangHub, as well as hand-strap wrist straps and necklaces handcrafted in Germany, under Accessories. Or check out our Mix and Match savings bundles.

Will the case still fit if I use a screen protector or camera lens protector?

Yes, our case is designed to be compatible with most common screen and camera protectors. The raised edges provide additional protection without affecting the fit.

Does the casing stretch out over time or does it remain stable?

Our hard cases are not made of soft silicone, but of a sturdy PP material with wheat straw content and slight elasticity. This ensures the fit remains permanently precise – without stretching or wobbling.

Do the cases yellow over time like silicone cases?

No. Our cases are made
from the PP material used with added wheat straw, which, unlike silicone, neither yellows nor fades.

Can I purchase accessories (e.g., the HangHub) later?

Yes! The HangHub is available as a separate accessory in our shop and can be easily inserted into the SmartShell 5's slot. This allows you to flexibly expand your case – for example, with a wrist strap or carrying chain for even more comfort and security on the go.

What exactly is the casing made of?

The SmartShell consists of polypropylene (PP) with a recycled PP content, natural wheat straw fibers, and the additive SK-BIO01.

You can find more information about material, testing, and disposal on our Material & biodegradability page.

Is the casing truly biodegradable? How does that work?

The material of our hard cases has been tested for biodegradability by Intertek under defined anaerobic conditions in accordance with ASTM D5511-18.

You can find more about the test results and their correct classification on our page Material & biodegradability.
