PITAKA announced the iPhone 18 case collection on Sept. 11, 2026, following its "Signals in the Wind" event in Berlin on Sept. 4. The launch comes after the brand earned a NYPDA Gold Award, an IFA Innovation Award Honoree 2026 designation and a Best of IFA award from Yanko Design.

The Edge series offers a minimal‑profile, woven aramid‑fiber case that protects against everyday scratches and drops while maintaining a lightweight feel. It includes the PitaTap™ capacitive camera button embedded in less than 1 mm of fiber and uses Mammoth Resin™—a compound refined over 14 months to deliver up to twice the drop resistance of earlier resins.

The Guard series provides higher impact resistance through two models: Cairn, which adds impact‑resistant TPU and a Bow‑Arc Corner Buffer 2.0, and Summa, which wraps aramid fiber via 3D thermoforming for a seamless surface and includes a lanyard anchor. Both series expand the palette with Wind Over Wheat, Argyle and Moment patterns inspired by natural light and texture, and the cases retail from $59.99 on PITAKA’s website and Amazon.
