Targus recently launched a trio of EcoSmart cases for iPad made from recycled post-consumer plastic and up to 40% biodegradable materials — with no compromise on protection, the company said. The cases showed up on Amazon in mid-to-late June.
Targus makes the new EcoSmart tablet cases from a variety of sustainable materials. Because the company constructs the base trays with degradable materials, they decompose rather than sitting indefinitely in a landfill. Covers and linings come from recycled plastic, such as water bottles.
And the packaging for all EcoSmart products is 100% recycled, the company said, and made in part from hemp rope and recycled sealing tape.
All three cases feature trays that flex to fit 10.2-inch iPad (8th/7th gen.), 10.5-inch iPad Air and 10.5-inch iPad Pro. They all pass “military grade 4-foot drop” tests. And they all integrate a sleep/wake function to save battery power.
VersaVu EcoSmart Slim Case for iPad
The VersaVu is Targus’ signature tablet case. It features a patented 360-degree rotation for seamless switching between portrait and landscape use. It allows you to show what’s on the screen via a simple rotation, with no need to touch the tablet’s interface. Right now, the VersaVu costs $86.42 on Amazon.
