The collaboration sees the characters and elements of the game printed on a lineup of cases and tech products. Highlights include the ‘Chun-Li Lenticular’ case, which is a design of Chun-Li performing her signature ‘Hyakuretsu Kyak.’
Additional iPhone and Android case designs depict different characters from the franchise, a character selection screen, and visual elements from the games. AirPods/AirPods Pro cases, wireless chargers, grip stands, and more can all be found in this launch.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Pop Culture Tech Accessories
- The rise of pop culture-themed tech collaboration opens up opportunities for innovative design and unique marketing for tech accessories.
- Vintage Video Game Accessories
- The attraction towards retro video game franchises expands to tech accessories as seen in CASETiFY's Street Fighter collaboration, creating room for similar collaborations with other classic games.
- Character-specific Tech Accessories
- The demand for merchandise dedicated to specific characters in a franchise as shown in the different Street Fighter characters on CASETiFY's line-up creates a niche in the tech accessories market.
Sectors Adopting This
- Tech Accessories
- The integration of pop-culture themes and vintage nostalgia can disrupt and revitalize the tech accessories industry, providing an opportunity for tech companies to increase their appeal to consumers who prioritize unique designs.
- Gaming
- The popularity of video game franchises can be further monetized through collaborations with tech accessories companies, deepening fan engagement and increasing brand loyalty.
- Fashion
- The Street Fighter x CASETiFY collaboration can be seen as a crossover between technology and fashion, creating an opportunity for fashion companies to integrate technology into their product lines and for tech accessories companies to add a fashion element to their products.
