The Pitaka is one of the coolest cases I’ve used for the iPhone over the last few years. Most cases are either all TPU or a mix of Polycarbonate and TPU. The Pitaka is made from Aramid, which is similar to Kevlar? Which means the Pitaka is going to be tougher than most ultra thin cases.
If you’re looking for a thin case that offers almost no drop-protection, consider getting a Pitaka. And a screen protector. The Pitaka case is #7 on my Top 10 ultra-thin iPhone 7 case list as the lack of protection means it scores lower than other cases that are less than 2mm thick.
But for me personally, I don’t drop my iPhone a whole lot and there aren’t small versions of myself just yet that I need to keep entertained so the Pitaka is feasible choice for how I use my iPhone. If you want to see what else I think are great ultra-thin cases, check out that vid.
Get the Pitaka on Amazon!
Amazon US: Amazon CA: Amazon UK: Amazon DE: Or get it on eBay: Case Comparison Tool: the Pitaka, there is a good chance that you’ll forget that you have a case on your iPhone. It’s that thin and light. In fact, its one of the very few cases where the case is actually thinner than the iPhone. Which makes the Pitaka closer to a skin than an actual case.
When it comes to width, I measure the Pitaka at 68.3mm’s which is only 1.2 mm wider than the iPhone and it weights 8 grams. This is nothing when compared to a normal case like the Speck Presidio Clear.
The iPhone fits the Pitika quite well but the low edges means it will slide around when placed face first. The texture of the great is quite nice as it has a soft-rubber coating to it which means it stays in your hands well but doesn’t pull out your pant pockets.
My only warning for the Pitaka design is that you’ll damage the case if you try to remove it from the top of the iPhone. So if you’re a chronic case swapper, start from the bottom and be gentle with power button area.
When it comes to protection, there is a good chance that a bunch of wet noodles is going to provide more protection than the Pitaka. The case is so thin that there isn’t a lip for the screen to stay off a flat surface. The Pitaka isn’t drop-rated but will prevent your iPhone from getting scuffed up during a corner drop. Again, if you’re good to your iPhone, the protection aspect of the Pitaka isn’t going to matter to you. I would definitely recommend getting a screen protector though.
I didn’t have any issues accessing the iPhone in the Pitaka. It doesn’t get in the way of any access since it doesn’t really cover much on the device. The only other thing I will point out is that the camera area is raised so you’re iPhone’s lens isn’t scraping whatever surface you’ve placed the device on.
Again, this is a cool case. I know it’s not ranked high but out of the 100’s of cases I have lying around, I will gravitate to a Pitaka case more often than not.
