Pitaka tactile woven case, super thin but safe

We tested the new woven Tactile cases from Pitaka for the iPhone 16, Made of aramid fiber, with an ultra-thin design but offering greater safety than any other similar case you can find.

With the size of the iPhone, especially the new 16 models, which are even larger than their predecessors, finding a slim case that protects your phone without further increasing its size is something many users are looking for, but of course, protection is important, so finding a balance between the two features is essential. Pitaka is an expert on the subject, and Thanks to the use of aramid fiber in its covers, it guarantees that with thicknesses less than 1 mm the protection of our terminal is adequate. And in addition to finesse and protection, they take care of other important details: design and finishes.

In its catalog we find ultra thin cases (Ultra Slim Case) and with greater protection (Military Grade Protective Case), but in this review we stick to its most balanced model, Tactile Woven Case. For its manufacture they use their own technology called “Fusion Weaving” in which they weave the aramid fibers, thus obtaining this unique design. combine different colors to create designs and get that fabric texturebut at the same time with a very pleasant touch. And what about the finishes… the raised frame of the anodized aluminum camera gives it an imposing appearance.

The covers you can see in the article and video are the Sunset Moonrise and StarPeak models, with small differences between them, practically invisible to the naked eye. The Sunset model is thinner (0.88mm at its thinnest) than the StarPeak model (1.04mm), but otherwise there is no difference other than the color. Woven tactile cases expose iPhone buttons thanks to perfectly calculated cutouts in the cover. There’s no other way to do it in such a thin package. However, unlike previous years, the bottom of the phone is covered, protecting the USB-C connector, speaker and microphone area.

On the front, the case only protrudes from the front of the iPhone at the corners, so it can be placed on face-down surfaces without issue. The camera module is also protected by the anodized aluminum frame. The grip of the case is very good, not slippery at all. The resistance of the material is beyond doubt After using similar cases from the brand for years, they remain impeccable after a year of use, even with a few drops on the ground.

Of course, there is no shortage MagSafe system compatibility. The shell is so thin that the magnets cannot be hidden in the thickness of the shell, so there is no other alternative than to leave them visible, but covered with a thin transparent sheet which prevents them from being visible. damage the back glass of the iPhone. By checking all the joints between different materials, corners and edges, it is difficult to find a slight defect in the covers. Pitaka did an excellent job designing and manufacturing.
