The Tamagotchi x CASETiFY Capsule Turns Virtual Pets into Accessories
The Tamagotchi x CASETiFY collection is a collaboration between Bandai and CASETiFY that reimagines the virtual pet franchise through technology accessories and travel products. The Tamagotchi x CASETiFY collection includes customizable phone cases, tablet cases, earbud pouches, charms, straps, cardholder stands, and carry-on luggage. Designs use classic Tamagotchi characters, pixel graphics, bright color palettes, and interface-inspired details drawn from the original handheld device. The collection launched globally on May 29, 2026 and features products priced from approximately $15 to $799.
A key release within the collection is the Original Tamagotchi CASETiFY Limited Edition. The device retains the familiar egg-shaped form, three-button layout, and playable functionality of the original Tamagotchi while serving as a collectible accessory. Additional products include plush charms, MagSafe-compatible cardholder stands, and character-themed luggage available in multiple colorways.
