BODY: The Angels have descended on your tech setup. On June 12, the Evangelion franchise and accessories brand CASETiFY unveiled a fresh collaboration collection, bringing the apocalyptic aesthetic of Hideaki Anno's legendary series to a lineup of everyday gadgets.
The collection spans more than just phone cases. Headlining the drop are co-branded headphones and grip stands—the latter a nod to CASETiFY's popular ring-grip accessories that double as kickstands. As with most CASETiFY tie-ins, several items are produced in limited quantities, meaning fans hoping to armor their devices in NERV and Eva Unit-01 livery will want to move quickly before stock evaporates.
For the uninitiated, this isn't the first time the two brands have joined forces. CASETiFY has built a reputation on high-profile anime and pop-culture partnerships, and Evangelion remains one of the most merchandise-friendly properties in Japan despite its core series wrapping with 2021's Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. The franchise's bold color palette—purple, orange, and that unmistakable warning-label red—translates naturally into accessory design.
Pricing and the full item list were detailed at launch, with the collection available through CASETiFY's official channels. Given the brand's track record, expect resale prices to climb once the limited runs sell through.
The insider take
Here in Tokyo, Evangelion collaborations have become almost a seasonal ritual—you'll spot Eva branding on everything from convenience-store snacks to bullet trains. What makes the CASETiFY partnership notable is its timing: with no new Eva film on the horizon, these lifestyle drops keep the brand visible and let longtime fans express fandom subtly, through a grip stand rather than a full cosplay. It's franchise maintenance done with quiet commercial precision, and it works.
