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.
Q. Are iPhone 17 cases compatible with lens protectors?
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?
A. No, all series undergo rigorous testing to ensure no impact on sensitivity.
If you need to adjust sensitivity, navigate to:
Settings → Camera → Camera Control → Accessibility → Light-Press Force.

with confidence.

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

adopted a fully exposed lens design. This allows users to easily use compatible lens protectors and other
custom accessories with our cases.

support, they enable more complex commands, seamless device pairing, and powerful IoT control, turning a
single press into a fast, reliable way to manage your daily tasks.
Q. What's the difference between Aaron Button and previous PinButton?
A. PinButton has evolved into Aaron Button. Named in tribute to Aaron Swartz, it reflects a belief in
openness, efficiency, and the power of technology to make information freer and life simpler.
With expanded onboard memory, Aaron Button delivers more powerful support for IoT remote control and
multi-scene actions. Paired with Aaron Button app, it lets you easily import full commands, organize scattered

it easier for users to remove the case.
Q. What is the difference compared to the previous Military-Grade case?
A. It is the same case with a new name. The Ultra Guard series maintains the same military-grade protection
and has passed military-standard drop tests, capable of withstanding drops from up to 1.22 meters (4 feet).

incorporates a unique arched structure—raised reinforcements at all four corners. In the event of a drop,
this arched design effectively absorbs impact, significantly enhancing overall protection.
Q. 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
