PITAKA unveils a quick-travel iPad cover and the ultimate AirTag accessories at its Ecosystem live event

Posted on by

Held at their Ecosystem virtual event, tech accessory brand PITAKA unveiled a series of new products and accessories, complimenting their Pita!Flow line and helping their users live easier, more comfortable lives. Alongside these product announcements, PITAKA even made a commitment to recycling their own products in the best ways possible, while demonstrating how they could extract aramid fibers from molded panels by dissolving the resin and separating the fibers entirely.

The PITAKA Ecosystem event kicked off with their founder and CEO James Zheng taking the stage and explaining PITAKA’s global vision and how their existing products tied into it. Zheng highlighted their ASI (Accompany Small Innovators) program that invites enthusiastic patrons and supporters to come on board as advisors and co-innovators, helping PITAKA develop new products and experiences. Following the Pita!Flow lines for the iPhone and iPad, Zheng then went on to debut their latest collection dubbed the Pita!Tag, a 3-product accessory set revolving around the AirTag.

The first product in this series is the Pita!Tag for Multi-tool, a tiny AirTag holder that also packed 4 fold-out mini tools for all sorts of activities from tightening screws to opening boxes. The $59 Pita!Tag for Multi-tool is just marginally larger than the AirTag itself, and fits perfectly around a keychain, so you can carry it anywhere. The AirTag’s ultra-wideband technology would enhance the Multi-tool’s usability, ensuring you always have it handy and can track it when it’s lost.

An extension of that philosophy carried to PITAKA’s latest announcement within the Pita!Tag collection – Pita!Tag for Cable, a unique cable holder and organizer with an AirTag attached to it, so you’re never struggling to find a charging cable in your house, your office, or your backpack. The Pita!Tag for Cable comes with its own USB-C to Lightning cable plugged in, and has an AirTag attached to it too for good measure. There’s no price mentioned for this, and the company is set to formally launch it in August.

The final accessory within the Pita!Tag universe is the Pita!Tag for Lighter, an indoor/outdoor accessory that the company will reveal further during its launch in the winter. For now, the lighter and other Pita!Tag accessories help expand PITAKA’s EDC collection and lend the AirTag’s tracking abilities to them in a way that’s uniquely helpful to customers. PITAKA also highlighted that these designs properly ensured that the AirTag’s tracking abilities weren’t affected by them.

PITAKA’s biggest announcement for the event, however, was the FlipBook Case for the iPad. Designed to let you seamlessly switch between working on the iPad and traveling with it, the FlipBook Case ditched the past notion of what an iPad case was supposed to look like. Instead of being a bag or a sleeve that the iPad slides into, PITAKA’s FlipBook Case perpetually sits around your iPad and its Magic Keyboard. With the company’s signature Aramid-fiber trims, and magnetic handles that make grabbing the iPad easy, the FlipBook Case is a stylish number for your iPad that lets you transition between working and traveling in under 2 seconds. “We don’t create time, but we seize every minute for you”, the company says. The FlipBook Case starts at $89 and will be made available in late July. For good measure, it has a pocket to store belongings like cables, power banks, or even your iPhone.

Highlighting the need to have a reliable ecosystem of great products to support your life and the tech in it, PITAKA also briefly announced an upcoming line of travel suitcases called the Pita!Go, featuring the company’s signature minimal tech-forward style, along with modular components that ensure a longer lifespan and easy repairability. CEO James Zheng also dwelled further on PITAKA’s commitment to the environment, talking about how each product will forward PITAKA’s vision of sustainability and recycling. Parts from the suitcase will be recycled into the iPad case, and then into the iPhone case, and finally into watch straps, ensuring that a material or component goes through multiple life cycles instead of going straight into the landfill.

PITAKA plans to share more details on its Ecosystem in the future, along with other product releases. The ASI program is currently looking for fresh ideas for new products, especially for the Pita!Tag line. You can learn more on PITAKA’s website or enroll in their PITAKA ASI Program to be a part of the company’s future.

This futuristic wireless charger doubles as a magnetic power bank

Posted on by

Is the wireless charging we do today really wireless? The charger is still connected to a power outlet using a wire, and your phone needs to be placed precisely on the charger to charge successfully. If anything, wireless charging today is actually port-less charging, because you don’t need to plug anything physical into your phone… but is it wireless? I’d probably say no.

The MagEZ Juice makes perhaps the best case for what wireless charging should truly look like. Attach your phone to the MagEZ Juice to charge while you work, but it also doubles as an emergency battery pack when you’re out and about, supplying your phone with power without being tethered to a plug-point. It’s truly wireless design practically gives your phone an extra battery to work with. Now THAT’s what wireless should mean, right?

Designed by the guys at PITAKA (who gave us the MagDock and Air Pals for AirPods), the MagEZ Juice leverages wireless charging in a uniquely helpful way. The wireless MagEZ Juice is a nifty dock that lets you charge your device conventionally, using cables – the dock even doubles up as a charging stand for your phone, allowing you to place your phone at a 45° angle at your desk while working. Built into the MagEZ Juice is a portable wireless power-bank that magnetically attaches to the back of your phone (using a MagEZ Case) to give you as much as 20% more battery life no matter where you are, even if you’re on the move.

With pass-through charging technology, the MagEZ Juice ensures that while the power bank is recharging, it delivers power to your phone. Both devices have an adequate supply of power for you to go about your day without worrying about a depleted battery. Even if you need to make a move, and your phone has yet to fully charge, just slide it out of the stand and the MagEZ Juice wireless power bank slides out too. The power bank provides your phone with the emergency pick-me-up it needs until you get home or to the office.

The MagEZ Juice and its power bank are crafted from military-grade Aramid Fiber and aerospace-grade zinc alloy. These are the signature materials for all of PITAKA’s products, resulting in the MagEZ Juice being sleek, portable, durable, as well as highly resistant to overheating and wear-and-tear. Along with the magnet-embedded protective smartphone case, the MagEZ Juice gives us a taste of what wireless charging should be. There are no cables, no having to place your phone on a pad and patiently wait for it to charge… truly wireless, truly portable, and truly freeing!

Here’s that all-in-one charging dock Apple should have made for its products

Posted on by

Was the AirPower mat Apple’s biggest marketing mistake or its greatest tactic? The minute they announced the all-in-one wireless charger for the iPhone, Airpods, and the Watch, designers and tech startups all around the world jumped at the opportunity to out-Apple Apple. Years later, the AirPower still hasn’t arrived, but the market is inundated multiple products that allow Apple’s users to charge all their gadgets. Apple spent absolutely zero dollars on actually pushing a solution into the market, but benefitted by having third-party companies fill in the void. However, amidst the sea of wireless chargers, the Air Omni stands out as perhaps the one true product that Apple ple hopes it had tried to push out. The Air Omni charges your iPhone, Watch, Airpods, and even your iPad. Apart from juicing the batteries of your favorite devices, it props them up too, acting as a stand for your iPhone/iPad so you can charge your devices while using them. With its virtually perfect desk-friendly size, the Air Omni fits seamlessly into your workspace, and can slide right into your laptop bag too, so you don’t need to have it just at your office. You can carry it back home, use it at cafés, or even at the airport, as a quick charging hub and workspace alternative. Just dock your devices, prop up your iPad, connect a wireless keyboard, and your charging hub becomes your makeshift office space. Like I said, the AirPower mat wishes it were the Air Omni.

The Air Omni’s biggest defining feature is that it comes built to dock the iPad too, which should honestly be given the same status as the iPhone, Watch, and AirPods… after all, the iPad is a mobile device too. Designed for not just charging but docking too, the Air Omni comes with a dedicated pop-up wireless charging hub for your Watch, specified wireless charging zones for your phone and AirPods, and a stand that lets you dock the iPad vertically and charge it via a cable – all while complying with Apple’s MFi charging standards. The docking zone’s unique design is truly innovative as it shapeshifts to let you alternate between docking your iPad as well as your iPhone. The vertical docking setup is supported by a port that pops right out of the Air Omni, allowing you to plug your phone/tablet as you place it against its backrest. But wait Sarang, you’re probably wondering, how can one port charge the iPhone as well as the iPad especially when the iPad’s later variant uses a Type-C connector? Well, that’s where the Air Omni’s clever switcheroo trick comes handy. On the back of the device is a nifty button that allows you to mechanically alternate between Lightning and Type-C ports, making switching between docking your iPhone and iPad incredibly easy. If you’ve got other devices that need charging (a fitness tracker perhaps, or a power-bank), the Air Omni comes with an extra set of ports that allow you to plug up to two devices in… and as far as wireless charging on the Air Omni’s surface goes, a unique, patented coil layout allows you to wirelessly charge your gadgets no matter how you place it.

Speaking of out-Apple-ing Apple, the Pitaka Air Omni ditches the white plastic and anodized aluminum CMF palette for something more hardcore – after all, the product is vastly better than anything Apple could think of. Made from Aramid (Kevlar), the Air Omni comes in matte black, and is incredibly damage-resistant (which is more than I can say about Apple’s charging cables) as well as flame-resistant. It supports the charging of non-Apple devices too (definitely a baller move), and for good measure, also throws in a secret compartment for storing things like SD cards, money, or anything you’d need to stash away inside a secret compartment. A culmination of a bunch of good ideas, the Air Omni is perhaps the most mindful charging hub I’ve seen in a while for a few reasons. For starters, unlike Apple’s AirPower mat, it exists. Additionally, it holistically charges all your devices including your iPad, comes with the ability to turn your charging setup into a workplace setup (thanks to the vertical dock), takes care of all your charging needs while occupying just one plug-point… Plus, you don’t need to worry about tangled-up charging cables (or throwing money at Apple every time a charging cable breaks) – which to be honest is perhaps Air Omni’s most unsung bit of praise.

Apple made the AirPods, Pitaka made them better!

Posted on by

The AirPods are pretty great the way they are, but ask any designer and they’ll say that they could be much more. Ask designer Tang Gan of Pitaka and he’ll straight up tell you that the AirPods should A. Wirelessly charge, B. Have a longer battery life, and C. Not be so difficult to find inside a backpack. Combine those three insights and you get yourself the AirPodPal, an attachment that augments the abilities of the AirPods… or as Tang says, “Makes your AirPods easier to carry, charge & find”.

Designed as a neat looking carbon fiber bodied module that attaches directly to the base of your Airpod case, the AirPodPal gives your favorite earphones wireless charging abilities… a much-needed upgrade, considering the iPhone and Apple Watch both support wireless charging. Its slender body also happens to house a 1200 mAh battery which not only extends the life of your AirPods by three whole days, but also serves as an emergency power bank for your smartphone, proverbially knocking two birds with a single stone.

The AirPodPal comes housed in a sturdy carbon fiber body, giving it a visual contrast when plugged into the white plastic AirPod case. The carbon fiber makes the AirPodPal both lightweight and resilient at the same time, because after all, it needs to be as portable and sturdy as the AirPods themselves (you can conversely opt for the AirPodPal Essential, which comes with a PolyCarbonate plastic body). Snapping the AirPodPal onto your AirPod case does double its length, but not without reason. Tang justifies this increase, saying that the volume increase makes the AirPods easier to spot in a backpack “without compromising on portability”. The module comes with the same width and depth as the AirPods, still allowing it to slide into most pockets, and it even comes with a built-in clip to securely fasten it to your clothes, belt, or your backpack straps while on the go. It also means you don’t need to carry a separate power bank on you!
