pela – BIG

If you have an iPhone 13 series device, you likely want to take advantage of Apple’s MagSafe technology to charge or attach accessories to your new smartphone. The issue is not all cases support the new Apple accessory standard.

Priced at $7.95, Pela sells a modular case upgrade called the ‘MagSafe Module’ compatible with all standard Pela iPhone 13 cases.

It’s effortless to use since all you need to do is remove the plastic coating, then stick the magnetic side to the back of the case. Next, put the case on your iPhone 13, and you’re good to go.

This little ring helps fill in some of the space inside the back of an iPhone 13 Pela case, as there’s a space in the back of the case if you don’t have the MagSafe ring. And in my experience, it works almost as well as MagSafe magnets actually built into a case.

Technically, the MagSafe ring will only stick to one phone case, but there are some ways around it as the feature is quite versatile.

You can purchase a new MagSafe module ring from Pela for $7.95, and if you’re interested in getting a new case for your existing phone, head over to Pelacase.ca. The Canadian company offers several options for both Android and iPhone users.

If you have a new phone and you’re looking to protect it with a trendy-looking case that’s also good for the environment, then you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve been testing 0ut the Lavender iPhone 13 Pro case from a Canadian company Pela, and it’s my new favourite case for two main reasons.

One is the soft-touch feel. Above all else, a case needs to feel good in my hand, and the combination of flax shive and plant-based biopolymers that the company uses is incredibly soft. Imagine the smooth back of the Nexus 5x, but better, with more cushion and in tons of eye-pleasing colours.

That leads to my second favourite point. The cases come in a huge array of designs, but the pleasing pastel-inspired hues that the company uses as its standard colours are fantastic. I’ve been testing out the Lavender colourway, and the flax inside of it gives it a bit of a speckled effect that looks really nice. If it’s not for you, there are cases with graphics, other colours and even clear cases with compostable bumpers.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a good case without protection, and the Pela’s iPhone 13 case holds up there too. The model I’m using is quite rubbery, so it offers a decent amount of impact resistance. The case also fits snuggly onto my iPhone and doesn’t add too much bulk to it either. If you opt to use a standard Pela case and a Pela liquid screen protector, the company even offers a guarantee that it’ll fix your screen if it breaks.

I’ve been using this case on my phone for about a month now and it’s held up like a trooper. There was even a day when it got packed tightly in my bag and ended up getting some black scuffs on the edges, but after a few more days of use, they washed away.

My favourite thing about the case has to be its colour, but the company’s green mission is a close second. As a tech reviewer, I go through a lot of plastic waste and specifically, a lot of phone cases. Having a case that I know isn’t going to end up in a landfill offers peace of mind, and having it be as stylish as a Pela case is a huge plus on top of that.

If you’re interested in learning about how these cases are made the company has a great video on it that you can watch below.

You can buy your own case at Pelacase.ca and the iPhone 13 Pro model featured here retails for $48.95.
