What is the difference compared to the previous Military-Grade case?
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).
What is the difference between ProGuard and UltraGuard?
ProGuard focuses on ultimate drop protection: Uses hot-press molding, retaining the skin-friendly woven texture of aramid fiber for a grippy, fingerprint-resistant feel. Features an exclusive arched cushioning design for military-grade drop protection, ideal for users who prioritize safety.
UltraGuard is the flagship model, emphasizing both protection and refined details: It utilizes 3D thermoforming technology to seamlessly integrate aramid fiber and TPU, resulting in a smoother, more premium feel that is also easy to clean. Equipped with full-metal physical buttons that cover the camera control button for more responsive operation. Upgraded with self-developed Resin Orca for a lightweight yet ultra-durable build with double the impact resistance, reflecting PITAKA's pursuit of perfect balance between protection and aesthetics.
*“Resin Orca” is simply the name of the resin material we developed for the Ultra Guard Case. It represents the case’s characteristics — elegant yet powerful, just like an orca. It has nothing to do with any animal testing.
Will the metal button scratch the iPhone?
No, the metal buttons are equipped with an anti-scratch sheet to prevent direct contact with the phone's buttons, ensuring they do not cause any damage.
