Review – I’m sure you own multiple phone cases on average, but you may never own such a phone case before Eat their own When you throw it away.But that is Exactly what Pivet Aspect iPhone case were able. Look at this scientific magic!

Design and features
The unique feature that attracted my attention to Pipet’s Aspect iPhone case is the trademark-heavy enhanced self-recycling material. I have never heard of this “Toto-toa™” material, it is the technology behind the Self-Cycle™ process.
The whole process is explained in Pivet’s FAQ page, But basically the plastic used in the shell is rich in materials that attract microorganisms. These microorganisms use the carbon in the plastic as a food source and secrete acid to break down the polymer into biomass, which is basically the soil.
Now, I’m going to guess at the landfill, where the case will eventually end, and the microbes are more abundant, for example, my hand, tabletop, or pocket. Otherwise the decomposition process will start as soon as anyone touches the case, but I will assume it is fine. Of course, I did not have the opportunity to test the decomposition mechanism of the material, so I must believe that Pivet’s statement is correct.If it works as they say, then man, we really should use it in all situations type consumer goods.I’m looking you, Disposable beverage container.
The phone case itself is one of those thin, compact, and gripping plastic phone cases, and I am also a big fan of it. I don’t like to add volume to my technology, and in most cases, I like to shake my iPhone with zero case. However, judging from the nicks and scratches formed on the case, I realized that having a protective layer to absorb damage is a good thing.
The front lip of the case slightly extends out of the screen instead of being flush with the screen, so when the phone is placed face down on a flat surface, the screen itself is safe. The lip around the camera bump on the back of the phone is raised enough to be flush with the camera lens.It does not provide That There is a lot of protection there, and when the phone is placed on a flat surface, it will still shake slightly, but I will have to attribute it to “one of the things” that modern mobile camera technology cannot avoid.
The Aspect case has precise openings for the speakers, charger, and mute switch, although the charger hole at the bottom leaves a Very The thin plastic strip on the top of the case does not feel good while protecting the entire edge of the screen, and it is annoying to swipe with your finger when performing a “swipe up” action to go to the home screen. I think I want it to be a bit thicker, or just cut off and rounded on the left and right edges, thereby creating a small gap to aim while sliding. This is a small complaint, and it feels silly to mention it, but I considered it enough to keep it in the comments.
The last small complaint is about Pivet’s claim that the case is compatible with MagSafe.it Yes Regarding wireless charging, it still applies to Apple’s MagSafe charger, etc., just like it applies to any Qi wireless charging device, but the Mag function is almost improved by this situation. My MagSafe leather wallet is not sticky, and my MagSafe battery pack is not sticky. There is no magnetic connector in the case, so the magnetic connection is very weak… If you really like to stick your wallet on the back of your phone, please consider it.
Finally, the colors are beautiful. I received Ocean Blue, which is not only a gorgeous dark blue, but also a phone case in the company’s charity style. The color itself mimics the color transformed by corals in order to survive the ocean heat wave. To say the least, this… terrible. Every time they buy their ocean blue style, a part of the sales will be donated to ocean agencies that support ocean protection.
I am very supportive of protection. There is a case where when I am ready to get rid of it, it will only become food for microorganisms, which is great.
what do I like
- Can be recycled by yourself!
- Thin enough to barely noticeable
- Provides a little extra grip for easy operation
Areas for improvement
- MagSafe accessories will not magnetically stick to the housing
Final thoughts
Pivet’s protective work on their Ocean Blue series of protective shells is noteworthy, and one protective shell that basically eats itself when discarded seems to be a sci-fi magic that should be implemented in all situations. type plastic products. The Aspect is a great case, a great career, as long as you real No MagSafe features are required.
