Q. What happened to the Ultra-Slim, ProGuard, and UltraGuard Cases?
A. We’ve Updated Our Case Series.
Names like Ultra-Slim, ProGuard, and UltraGuard helped describe features, but over time, they also caused confusion.
At PITAKA, we’ve always focused on advancing aramid fiber weaving to improve everyday carry.
As our products evolved, we wanted our names to reflect the experience, not just the specs. That’s why we renamed our three series as
Cairn, Edge, and Summa — inspired by a journey of climbing:
* Edge: slim, light, and sharp along the climb (Original name: Ultra-Slim Case)
* Cairn: firm and dependable, like stone markers that guide the way (Original name: ProGuard Case)
* Summa: the peak, where protection and hand-feel come together (Original name: UltraGuard Case)
Q. What does the "CLLN" on the camera frame stand for?
A. CLLN represents our brand philosophy: "Carry Lighter, Live Now." It embodies PITAKA's commitment to minimalist design and effortless living.
Q. Are Galaxy S26 series cases compatible with PITAKA accessories?
A. Galaxy S26 series cases are compatible with PITAKA MagEZ Car Mount Pro and MagEZ Grip.
Note: The cases are not fully compatible with the Aramid Fiber Magnetic Power Bank and Magnetic Woven Wallet due to significant interference with the camera.
Q. How protective is the Edge series case?
The Edge series is designed to be extremely thin and light, providing a bare-metal-like experience. It offers sufficient protection against daily scratches and minor impacts. However, for stronger shocks or drops, the protection level may not match that of the Cairn or Summa series. If protection is your priority, we recommend choosing one of those alternatives.

Yes, all three iPhone 17 series cases support lens protectors. However, due to the closer-fitting camera ring design of the Cairn model, some lens protectors may have slight fit issues.
Q. Is the iPhone 17 Edge case compatible with a tempered glass screen protector?
A. Yes, the Edge case does not interfere with the use of a tempered glass screen protector. Its edges are designed to sit nearly flush with the screen, providing a comfortable grip while helping preserve the original feel and look of the iPhone as much as possible. Please note that with this design, a tempered glass protector may sit slightly higher than the case edges, but this will not affect normal use.
Q. Do iPhone 17 cases cover the camera control button? Will this affect sensitivity?

Q. Why does the S26 series case feature a fully exposed lens design instead of precise cutouts around each camera lens?

Q. Can PITAKA's phone case work with Apple’s MagSafe accessories?
A. Yes, PITAKA cases are compatible with Apple Official MagSafe accessories.
Q. Is the case anti-fingerprint?
A. Our Phone case is made with aramid fiber and processed with 3 layers of paint to ensure it's skin-friendly and
non-slip. Whether a fingerprint mark will be left depends on your hand conditions. It is not easy to leave a
fingerprint if the hand is dry. For sweaty hands, fingerprint marks may be left, but it is very easy to clean with
a cloth/Nano cotton/eraser/alcohol pad.
Q. With this case, can I charge my phone on third-party wireless chargers?
A. PITAKA cases are embedded with magnetic rings that do not cover the wireless charging area and highly fit with
the magnetic ring built in the iPhone &Samsung series. Plus, it's super slim. So if your phone can be charged on
third-party wireless chargers, it should work even with the case on.
Q. Why does magnetism seem to be weaker than in previous phone cases? For example, the iPhone 13 series.
A. Too strong a magnetic force may have a negative impact on the charging speed. We have fine-tuned the magnetic
force of the new phone case to ensure that it provides safe magnetic force while ensuring charging efficiency.
