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:
* Cairn: firm and dependable, like stone markers that guide the way (Original name: Ultra-Slim Case)
* Edge: slim, light, and sharp along the climb (Original name: ProGuard Case)
* Summa: the peak, where protection and hand-feel come together (Original name: UltraGuard Case)
Q. What are the differences compared to the iPhone 16 series cases?
A. * The camera control button has been upgraded to a full-coverage design for more comprehensive protection. It now uses sapphire glass for superior scratch resistance and smoother operation.
* The outer shell material has been updated to PITAKA's self-developed Orca Resin, which offers higher toughness and more than twice the impact and drop resistance compared to conventional resin.
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.
Q. Is the iPhone 17 UltraSlim case compatible with a tempered glass screen protector?
A. Yes, the UltraSlim 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. How to clean the iPhone 17 cases?
A. Every day marks, like sweat or fingerprints, can be easily cleaned with a wet wipe or alcohol wipe without damaging the case.
Avoid contact with strongly dyed items to prevent stains.
Q. Does the iPhone 17 case show fingerprints?
A. To provide a skin-friendly feel, the case surface is coated. Fingerprints may occasionally appear due to hand sweat or lotion, but they can be easily wiped away with a wet wipe, alcohol pad, or even an eraser. Use with confidence.
Q. How to verify the authenticity of the iPhone 17 cases?
A. Enable NFC on your phone and gently tap the lower part of the case. Enter the serial number on the webpage that pops up to check authenticity. You can also visit our official website to access games, music, wallpapers, and after-sales services.
