I understand what you mean, but I disagree, there are places where it isn’t necessary, needless use of plastic is a problem. But for the back of a phone, it can avoid buying an even bulkier plastic cover, it can extend the lifetime of the phone, in both cases it reduces waste.
Fuck plastic & the oil industry where it comes from.
Totally agree! I can’t wait to put that granite-cased phone with wood-backed PCBs in my pocket.
That would be sick
I remember seeing people mod the iPhone 4 to replace the glass back with a nice wood back.
Metal and wood can’t be a worse idea than glass. Grippy too. Although without the right treatment it can get gross I guess.
Shhh then it has more planned obsolescence under a veil of greenwash for being biodegradable.
There are plastics that aren’t oil derived. Some of them are even compostable in an industrial setting.
