The material of the future for the mobile case: Cork from the cork oak
An eco-friendly alternative to plastic mobile phone cases.
Cork is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet. It comes from the bark of the cork oak, a tree that does not need to be cut down to obtain cork. The extraction is done every 9-12 years without harming the tree, allowing it to live up to 200 years.
By choosing a cork case, you contribute to the conservation of Mediterranean forests, reduce plastic pollution, and support a sustainable traditional Spanish industry.

and Samsung that meet the IP68 standard
What does it mean that your mobile is IP68?
IP68 is the highest protection standard. The "6" means total protection against dust, and the "8" indicates that it can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.
How to check if your mobile is IP68?
Most modern high-end smartphones have an IP68 certification, which means they are resistant to water and dust. To check if your mobile has this certification:
- Check the technical specifications of your model on the manufacturer's website
- Look for "IP68" or "water resistance" in the technical sheet
- Check in the mobile settings (some models indicate it in "About the device")
- If you have any doubts, contact us and we will help you verify it

Frequently Asked Questions about the CORK Case
How long does a cork mobile phone case last?
A Cork Pro Tech case can last several years depending on usage. Cork is an extremely durable material that withstands daily wear, impacts, moisture, and temperature changes. Unlike plastic cases that yellow and crack, cork maintains its properties and appearance over time. Additionally, with use, it develops a natural patina that gives it even more character.
Can I use the phone with the case on?
Of course! Cork Pro Tech is designed for the normal daily use of your mobile. You can make calls, take photos, use apps, charge the mobile, and access all buttons and ports without any restrictions. The case has precise cutouts for the camera, speakers, and charging port. Unlike waterproof bags that make usage difficult, our cork case is as comfortable as any premium case, with the added benefit that it floats if it falls into water.
Does the case really protect the phone if it falls into the water?
Yes, but it is important to understand how it works. The cork case makes your mobile FLOAT on the water, allowing you to easily retrieve it. However, water protection depends on your smartphone's IP68 certification. If your mobile is IP68 (like most high-end iPhones and Samsung devices), it can be submerged up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.
The cork case complements this protection by ensuring that you never lose your mobile in the water, as it will always float on the surface. The case is not suitable for diving, with a immersion limit of 3 meters.
Like any material, if it suffers strong impacts, it may deteriorate and lose some of its properties.

Does cork get wet or absorb water?
Cork is naturally waterproof thanks to suberin, a waxy substance present in its cells. This means that water does not penetrate the material. Although the surface may get wet, cork does not absorb water like a sponge would. It dries quickly in the air and retains all its properties intact.
Why is it more sustainable than other cases?
Cork is the most sustainable material for covers for several reasons:
1) It is extracted from the bark of the cork oak without cutting down the tree, which can live up to 200 years.
2) Each extraction stimulates the tree to absorb more CO₂ (a debarked cork oak absorbs 3-5 times more CO₂).
3) It is 100% biodegradable and compostable.
4) It does not generate microplastics.
5) It is produced locally in Spain, reducing the transportation footprint.

Does cork help protect me from mobile radiation?
Yes, Cork is a unique natural insulating material. Thanks to its dense cellular structure, it acts as an organic barrier that helps mitigate direct exposure to electromagnetic waves unlike synthetic plastics.
