“Green and eco-friendly are the new cool and trendy” some people might say, and they wouldn't be that far from the truth, given the customer's increased level of interest for products that are manufactured in an environmentally-conscious manner, as is the case with the latest iPhone 4 cases revealed by the TRTL BOT company.

So, according to the manufacturer, their two new products, the Kickstand 4 and Minimalist 4 are designed and produced locally in the Los Angeles area using recycled plastic, decreasing its environmental impact while helping the local economy.

The Kickstand 4 is described as a multimedia optimizer viewing stand, a protective case with an innovative design that props up your iPhone in several modes: Portrait (ideal for FaceTime), Landscape (ideal for watching videos) and Tripod (ideal for timed photos).

The Minimalist 4, on the other hand, features a simple, elegant design, combining the flexibility and capability of a money holder and the protection of a case, since it's able to also holds up to 3 ID/Credit Cards while still remaining slim and easy to carry.

“TRTL BOT is a group of designers, engineers, and artists who are inspired by simplicity and practical functionality, with the desire to create awareness about environmental issues,” stated Peter Gloria, president of TRTL BOT.

“We believe being eco-friendly is about buying recycled products, being locally made, and doing more with less.”

Both the Kickstand 4 and the Minimalist 4 are currently available for pre-order for $29.99, which makes them quite interesting and affordable, all things considered.
