Casetify launches a new collection of dynamic accessories for Apple devices dubbed the Project-CSTF: Protection from Impact series. It is inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion, offering products that provide protection for Apple iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches. The retro anime series is the inspiring element, delivering looks that represent characters and color palettes from the series.
One of the most notable products in the collection is the limited edition AirPods Pro case that is influenced by the Unit-01 from Evangelion. It has a dynamic look that transforms the case into a purple mecha head. The company notes that the outer design is “for ornamental purpose and not for harsh impact, scrapes or vigorous activities" due to its oversized look.
