There was a time fairly long ago but still within memory, when phones didn’t need cases. Not only were they strong, they had visual character. The phones today, as powerful as they are, are mere monolithic slabs with low durability and even lower visual appeal. That’s where cases come in – not just to shield your phone but to give it a personality – an art PITAKA has perfected over the years. With their patented woven Aramid fibers, PITAKA’s cases give your phone aerospace-grade protection… but they bestow a unique aesthetic too, through the fibers’ criss-cross weave which PITAKA’s turned into a canvas for fashion-inspired patterns, as well as graphics like their glow-in-the-dark cases that debuted earlier in the year.
As PITAKA marks its ninth anniversary, the brand redefines the intersection of innovation, artistry, and technology with two standout offerings: the PTK Classic Monogram Tactile Woven Collection and a unique collaboration with Chinese rock band Re-TROS. Both collections showcase PITAKA’s dedication to groundbreaking material advancements and a renewed branding ethos.

The PTK Classic Monogram Tactile Woven Case: Style Meets Substance
The PTK Classic Monogram Tactile Woven Case marks the debut of PITAKA’s updated logo and visual identity. Inspired by a singular line symbolizing continuous progress, the design introduces the PTK Monogram pattern which will be widely used in the future.
The new PTK Collection offers a refined approach to smartphone protection, combining practicality with an eye for contemporary design. Made with PITAKA’s proprietary high-performance aramid fibers, these cases provide exceptional durability and a lightweight profile, weighing just 21.57 grams. At only 1.08 mm thick, they maintain the phone’s sleek aesthetic while ensuring robust protection.
PITAKA’s Fusion Weaving technology brings vibrant, intricate patterns to life, weaving multiple colored fibers on a single loom. Through the intricate interweaving of lightweight yet durable aramid fibers, the text “PTK” is seamlessly embedded into the case, showcasing a unique and timeless aesthetic while unveiling refined textures that enhance the tactile experience.
The PTK Classic Monogram Tactile Woven case comes in three sophisticated colorways—Gold Green, Gold Red, and Dark Blue—underscoring PITAKA’s focus on blending luxury with versatility. With MagSafe compatibility, these cases integrate perfectly into a modern tech ecosystem, from wireless chargers to car mounts.
PITAKA x Re-TROS Collaborative Tactile Woven Case: Music Inspires Design
To celebrate nine years of creative evolution, PITAKA has partnered with Re-TROS, a Chinese rock band known for their introspective and evocative music. This limited-edition tactile woven case draws inspiration from the band’s iconic triangular motif, representing stability, resilience, and self-expression.
The Re-TROS collaboration case transforms the band’s ethos into design, featuring intricate interwoven lines and woven text that echo their disciplined yet dynamic music. It captures shared values of authenticity, introspection, and strength through PITAKA’s advanced weaving techniques.
Like the PTK Collection, the collaboration case uses aramid fiber for strength and lightweight convenience. Slightly thicker at 1.14 mm and weighing 21.72 grams, it balances durability with a slim profile that resists everyday wear. The case is offered in two styles, “Rebuilding” and “Refining,” which reflect Re-TROS’ artistic journey.
Design + Engineering = Sleekness
Across both collections, PITAKA showcases its commitment to combining innovation and design. The tactile woven cases offer full coverage, including a titanium-colored camera ring for added scratch resistance. Their granular texture provides a comfortable, non-slip grip, while PITAKA’s Amber Magnet Film™ ensures flawless MagSafe compatibility.
With aerospace-grade materials and pioneering weaving techniques, PITAKA has created cases that balance function with artistic expression. Whether drawn to the luxurious PTK Collection or the symbolic artistry of the Re-TROS collaboration, these cases reflect the brand’s ingenuity and creative depth.
The PTK Collection is available in Green/Gold and Red/Gold, priced at $59.99, while the PITAKA x Re-TROS collaboration comes in “Rebuilding” and “Refining” styles, priced at $69.99. These cases are compatible with a range of devices, including the iPhone 15/16 Pro Series and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
