F380 JUSTIN
F380 JUSTIN is the name of the slim card holder made from used truck tarp with the signature FREITAG tear-tab. It can be easily attached to and removed from the CIRC-CASE holder, regardless of the model selected. This means you don't need to go looking for a new one-off when you replace your iPhone®. F380 JUSTIN takes two credit cards and gives your CIRC-CASE its unmistakable, individual look.
F381 NECKSTRAP
The practical F381 NECK STRAP frees up your hands as well as your pockets. Thanks to the carrying cord, the CIRC-CASE can be hung comfortably around your neck or over your shoulders. But if you do that, be sure to turn the F380 JUSTIN around so the cards stay where they are. Every NECK STRAP comes with a small, individual piece of tarp that we’ve saved from the trash. Simply insert it into the CIRC-CASE, click in your iPhone®, and you're done.
≥ THE F381 NECK STRAP IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH F385 CIRC-CASES FOR IPHONE® 15 AND NEWER MODELS.

Our circular F385 CIRC-CASE protective cases are produced from recycled ski boots and can be recycled multiple times. Ski boot shells are made largely of thermoplastic polyurethane (R-TPU). Here, we’ll show you how we make our CIRC-CASE from them.
DISASSEMBLING SKI BOOTS
For our circular smartphone protective cases, worn-out ski boots are collected in Davos by our partner, taken apart and separated from their buckles and other plastic parts.
PROCESSING INTO GRANULATE
The shell components then go to Rapperswil. There, the coarsely shredded plastic is analyzed, sorted by color, and then extruded into granulate.
MOLDING CASES
At a location near Zurich, the granulate is then molded to the body of a current iPhone® model.
BACK TO THE START
Even F385 CIRC-CASEs that are no longer serviceable make it to Davos at some point. There they are taken apart and returned to the R-TPU cycle. You can find out how to return your case here: Take Back.
ANNA KERSCHBAUMER, PRODUCT DRIVER
«AFTER A LONG SEARCH AND WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNER NETWORK, WE FOUND A CIRCULAR MATERIAL FOR CELL PHONE CASES. AT THE END OF THE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE, THE R-TPU FROM DISCARDED SKI BOOTS CAN BE USED AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NEW CIRC-CASES.»
