PROTECTION, ENGINEERED
(ESSENTIAL)
Aramid fiber meets impact-resistant TPU in a reinforced arched cushioning structure. Drop-tested from 2.44 meters and certified to MIL-STD-810H.

Bow-Arc Corner Buffer 2.0
The four corners feature an arched design that naturally creates space around the phone, acting like built-in air cushions. On impact, they deform to absorb shock, ensuring even accidental drops land softly.

Seamless Capacitive Button
Featuring high-strength glass to protect camera buttons well and preserve touch sensitivity. Ensures your operations remain smooth.

Premium Weave
Crafted from finely woven aramid fiber, our case offers a silky-smooth, luxurious texture you can feel. It's not just light and strong—it’s a pleasure to hold, every single time.

Aerospace-GradeAramid Strength
Light, yet remarkably strong — woven from aerospace-grade aramid fiber, five times stronger yet lighter than steel. PITAKA’s proprietary weaving process forms a precise geometric order. This classic texture returns to the essence of the material, delivering lasting durability and a refined tactile feel.

FAQs
What happened to the Ultra-Slim, ProGuard, and UltraGuard Cases?
A:
We've updated our case series names. Edge (formerly Ultra-Slim), Cairn (formerly ProGuard), and Summa (formerly UltraGuard) now reflect the experience, not just the specs. Edge: slim, light, and sharp along the climb. Cairn: firm and dependable, like stone markers that guide the way. Summa: the peak, where protection and hand-feel come together.
What are the differences compared to the iPhone 17 series Cairn cases?
A:
*The iPhone 18‑series Cairn case features the upgraded Bow‑Arc Corner Buffer 2.0. Its externally reinforced corner frames effectively absorb drop impacts for more reliable phone protection.
*It comes with a physical capacitive camera button, offering better aesthetics and tactile feedback compared to the former TPU.

What is Bow‑Arc Corner Buffer 2.0?
A:
Bow‑Arc Corner Buffer 2.0 is inspired by heavy‑duty outdoor‑gear geometry. Its reinforced corner frame efficiently absorbs impact energy from drops to deliver more reliable protection for your phone.
What is the protection level of Cairn?
A:
Cairn has passed military-grade drop certification and can withstand standard drop tests from up to 2.44 meters (8 feet). This exceptional protection is mainly attributed to the arched cushioning design at the corners, which effectively absorbs impact during falls.
What is the difference between Cairn and Summa?
A:
Cairn focuses on ultimate drop protection: It uses hot-press molding, retaining the skin-friendly woven texture of aramid fiber for a grippy, fingerprint-resistant feel. Features an exclusive arched cushioning design for military-grade drop protection, ideal for users who prioritize safety.
Summa is the flagship model, emphasizing both protection and refined details: It utilizes 3D thermoforming technology to seamlessly integrate aramid fiber and TPU, resulting in a smoother, more premium feel that is also easy to clean. Upgraded with self-developed Orca Resin for a lightweight yet ultra-durable build with double the impact resistance, reflecting PITAKA's pursuit of perfect balance between protection and aesthetics.

Are the cases interchangeable between iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max?
A:
They are not fully compatible due to minor differences in phone dimensions and camera module height.
*An iPhone 18‑series case can fit onto an iPhone 17‑series device, yet gaps will appear around the camera bezel, resulting in a suboptimal fit.
*It is NOT recommended to use an iPhone 17‑series case on an iPhone 18‑series phone:
-The reduced height difference between the camera module and case bezel weakens shock‑absorbing lens protection.
-Camera lens films will not fit properly.

What's the difference between the 600D aramid fiber and the 1500D aramid fiber?
A:
Essentially, 600D aramid fiber is a thinner thread, whereas 1500D aramid fiber is a thicker thread. The 600D version will feel more delicate to the touch and the case is slightly thinner.
