One of the most famous cell phone accessories are Pitaka cases, known for their quite impressive features and even a conflict with a famous Youtuber. We tell you all the info here!
One of the priorities when choosing a new case for our cell phone is the quality and protection it provides to our device. The covers are our best ally at the time of falls as well as scratches that the device may suffer. ANDIn this case we tested the famous Pitaka covers, known for their ultra-thin “bullet resistant materials” and the conflict with the youtuber Unbox Therapy, accused of plagiarizing the covers that we are going to review in this note.
One of the most complicated moments, and one could even say the one that takes the longest, is when we choose a cover. If it is very fat, very wide, very complete, with many details, among other things, these are some of the many characteristics that we look at at the time of purchase.
One of the premium options on the market that combines size, security and design are the covers pitaka, recognized worldwide. These are the thinnest on the market and, at the same time, bulletproof. This selection of materials to a certain extent justifies the excessive price of this product from the Asian company. To give you an idea, the cover of pitaka It is almost the same as the original leather cases. Samsung or of Manzana.
If you’ve ever heard of covers Pitaka, surely you were seeing some review in Youtube or yet influencer commenting something about the cover. In geeky culturewe had the opportunity to experience with our own hands what it feels like to have a pitaka and see how much difference there is between the traditional rigid covers or the original ones from Samsung Y Manzana.
The main component of the covers pitaka is the impressive aramid fiber. The name of this fiber comes from “aromatic polyamide” and is found within the different types of carbon fibers. As for how the cover is built, it is done with 3D laser cuts, which allows a perfect fit in the corresponding model. The creators of the cover explained that the aramid it is the carbon fiber that is used in some of the strongest objects. Among them are firefighter uniforms, bulletproof suits and the cells of survival of racing cars like Formula 1. But you probably know these fibers as the Kevlarwhich resists bullets and cannot melt.
As we mentioned, thanks to the fact that the covers are created with 3D laser cutting, the pitaka They fit perfectly on the corresponding cell phone. We were able to test the case on the models iPhone 13 Pro, Galaxy S22 Ultra and S21 Ultra, and the case fits so well that it becomes difficult to remove it from the device. But the most important thing is that it hardly feels like the phone has a case. We only realize it by the feeling of softness of its materials.
In any case, the most important thing comes at the moment of having the cover already placed and living the experience according to our personal and day-to-day experience. In all three teams, it is as if the cover did not exist. Thanks to the fact that the thickness is only 1.44mm and its weight is 27 gramsIt is as if the cell phone did not have a case. If it is compared with other covers made of materials such as leather or silicone, we are facing a clear winner if we are looking for comfort and not feel so much weight or bulk in the pocket.
Finally, if we talk about the design and how they feel to the touch the Pitaka, These covers are not flexible, but that does not prevent them from being comfortable and pleasant to the touch. One of the great advantages of the finish is that it feels like velvet to the touch and the edges, which in most cases are quite scratchy, are soft and do not hurt our fingers. And although it seems that these covers, because they are made with aramid they come only in traditional colors, pitaka offers some cases called Fusion Weavingwhich adds a bit of color to the Kevlar traditional.
But every good investment has its disadvantages, as well as a fairly high price. One of the great disadvantages, for example, is that for the model of the Samsung S22 and the S21, the case does not protect the front curvature of the glass. In addition to being a risk for this side of the screen, our cell phone is in some danger when we put it upside down since it is not fully protected. This is because the cover does not have edges that prevent any kind of contact with any surface.
After testing the covers for several days, we had a kind of difficulty when we wanted to stop using them. There are many advantages in terms of design, comfort and protection, but there are also some disadvantages in terms of price and protection in certain models. This is why if we decide to buy a cover pitaka We must really analyze what will be the use that we will give it, how comfortable we want to be and how many times we drop our cell phone per day, among many other aspects.
A nice feature of the covers is that they are compatible with MagSafe in Manzana or with the load wireless of Samsungso we don’t have to take the cover off and put it back every time we use the wireless charging of the devices. They even have their own system of magnetized products, called MagEZ, with a collection of accessories that are sold on the web.
The covers are sold on the official page of pitaka. Their prices range from 50 to 70 dollars, similar to the costs of the official covers of Manzana Y Samsungand it is expected that shipments to the Argentina in the near future.
