Looking for some iPhone protection, but want to keep it green? Your search has ended. The bioserie case for iPhone 3G/3GS is made from plants. Well…sort of. For you science-types, 90%+ is made up of biodegradable, enviro-friendly, Ingeo™ biopolymer, derived from plants and renewable resources, not petrochemicals like virtually every other gadget you own. Available in 6 colors for $34.95 each (less if you buy more than one) with free worldwide shipping.

Nice idea, but from an environmental standpoint, you’d make a much ‘greener’ contribution to the Earth by buying a $10 plastic case, and donating the other $25 to an environmental cause (e.g., buying rainforest land, or planting trees, or carbon credits, or…).
Or: the amount of petroleum used to manufacture a 1-ounce case like this is about as much as it takes to drive your typical car about 1/4 mile. Rather than buy the case, just don’t drive for a day. You’ll make a contribution orders of magnitude larger.
