Is this case compatible with MagSafe chargers?
Yes, the case features built-in magnets precisely aligned to ensure seamless compatibility and optimal performance with MagSafe chargers and accessories.
Will the raised edges interfere with the screen or camera?
No, the raised edges are strategically designed to protect the screen and camera lenses from scratches when placed on flat surfaces, without hindering usability.
How much recycled content does the case contain?
The case contains a minimum of 60% recycled content, utilizing 100% recycled plastics in its construction.
What is the feel of the cactus leather like?
The cactus leather offers a unique texture that is smooth yet durable. It provides a premium feel that is distinct from traditional leather.
Can I use other brand wireless chargers with this case?
