  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.

  Hey now, you’re looking at this all wrong: if you break your phone because you didn’t have a case on, it should be easily fixable! ;⁠-⁠)

  I have a FP5 and honestly:

  You don’t want a case. Seriously.

  Just get one of the Screen Protectors and you’re good to go.

    I have just recently bought a FP5 as well and I wouldn’t trust myself without it. Without a case it’s pretty slippery. And just because it’s easy to repair the screen doesn’t mean I risk it getting broken. So the 34 Euro I paid definitely was worth it.

    I feared that the fingerprint reader would be hard to reach with it, but luckily it works pretty well. A slight touch is enough to unlock it.

      That’s why i put on a screen protector. It protects the screen, realistically the only external part that matters, and doesn’t really bulk the phone.

    I’ve never in my life wanted a case. What’s the point?

  When i got my FP4 I 3D printed my case with some flexable filament. Once the price went town (and the first case was full of full of dirt and dog food) I bought a cheaper one.

    Hitting the dirt and dog food goal really is the biggest factor for case replacement in my house.

      Yah, it was a bad print with very porous layers, but it worked… For a while
