Ultra-Slim Case Details

The newest color option is offered in the entry-level Ultra-Slim Case, which is the sole choice available for the iPhone 17 and Air, as well as the Pro and Pro Max models. This case is constructed from “aerospace-grade” aramid fiber and measures just 0.88mm thick, providing a “caseless” sensation. In contrast, the more premium ProGuard and UltraGuard Cases are approximately 2mm thick, designed to meet “military-grade” drop protection standards, utilizing aramid weave fiber and a unique Pitaka hybrid TPU/aramid-infused Orca Resin in their makeup.

Enhanced Protection Features

The ProGuard cases feature “arched” corners to enhance protection further, while the UltraGuard versions are said to offer similar benefits, along with superior wear and scratch resistance thanks to their “3D-thermoformed” unibody design. This means users can expect extra durability in both case lines, making them suitable for everyday use.

The complete array of iPhone 17-series cases is now accessible on Pitaka’s website. Meanwhile, the Ultra-Slim Cases for the Air, 17 Pro, and Pro Max are also listed on Amazon as of this writing.

Pricing Information

These cases start at $49.99, with a price of $59.99 for models that include Pitaka’s specialized aramid-augmented Camera Control covers. The ProGuard variants are priced at $59.99, while the top-tier UltraGuard cases begin at $79.99.
