gomi launches repairable 'Forever Phone Case' to combat throwaway accessories industry

You wouldn't think that the humble phone case would invite much scrutiny, since they're cheap, ubiquitous, and can usually be replaced without a second thought.

Brighton-based design studio gomi is calling time on the throwaway culture surrounding phone accessories with the launch of its new Forever Phone Case, positioned as both a protest and a consumer upgrade.

Globally, an estimated 50 million kilos of phone cases are discarded every year, with almost none recycled.
