The previous collaboration (in 2023) made waves with its oversized Eva Unit-01 head-shaped AirPods case, but for this 30th anniversary edition, the spotlight is on the phone case itself. CASETiFY's signature "customization" feature has finally been unlocked for the Evangelion series.
What does this mean? It means you're not just buying merch — you're crafting "NERV-issued gear engraved with your own name or initials." The "EVANGELION CUSTOM CHARACTERS CASE" lets you add your name to designs featuring pilots like Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Kaworu, and Mari. Your favorite character coexists with your own identity on a single case. It delivers an immersive feeling — as if you've become that pilot's personal operator, or even their partner.

For the more hardcore fans who don't necessarily have a favorite character, there's also the "EVANGELION CUSTOM LOGO CASE." You can freely combine iconic logos — the NERV emblem, the Fourth Angel, the SEELE monoliths — with a variety of background designs.
For instance, you could place a red NERV logo on a jet-black body to channel that "official issue" look. Or drop your name onto an EMERGENCY alert pattern to recreate a warning screen. The combinations are endless. Honestly, the time you spend swapping parts around in the official site's preview tool might just be the main attraction of this entire collaboration.

Of course, special designs commemorating this 30th anniversary milestone are also part of the lineup. Cases boldly featuring the "Evangelion 30th Anniversary Emblem" are pieces that let you wear your fandom with pride. What's even more notable, though, is the new "hologram finish" used in this collection.
Hologram cases that shift colors depending on the viewing angle evoke the shimmer of an A.T. Field or the mysterious glow of an Angel's core. The way they change expression with the play of light feels like an art piece fusing the digital and analog worlds. That sense of "depth" — something flat printing simply can't achieve — perfectly matches Evangelion's intricate worldview.

The lineup goes well beyond phone cases. AirPods cases, MagSafe wallets, Apple Watch bands, MacBook cases, iPad cases — you can drape every gadget in your daily orbit in Evangelion livery.
The MagSafe wallet and Watch band especially shine, precisely because they're things you wear every day; their understated logo placement and color choices really come through. Pulling out your phone, glancing at your watch, opening your wallet. In every one of these small gestures, you can sense the presence of a series you've loved for 30 years. There are no flashy gimmicks here, but it's a practical collection that fits seamlessly into a fan's daily life.

The release date is Friday, February 20, 2026. Even without a 3D showpiece like last time, the fact that you can create a one-of-a-kind custom design this round means orders are guaranteed to flood in.
Which character and name would you pair up? What logo arrangement would nail that "authentic" feel? We strongly recommend running your simulations well before launch day. After all, this isn't just a shopping trip — it's a test of your very own "synch ratio."
