What We Like

  • Extremely thin and maintains the way the phone feels in the hand
  • Looks really good, and the back kind of looks like pixels
  • Covers all corners, with cutouts that keep the natural feel of your buttons
  • Capacitive touch camera control works really well, just like having the button exposed
  • Wipes down really easy and is super simple to keep clean
  • Midnight Black looks really good on a black iPhone 18 Pro Max, and there are a lot of other colors

What Could Improve

  • Not a ton of drop protection, since it's a super slim case
  • Not much screen-down protection, so I highly recommend a screen protector
  • Picks up some fingerprints you can see in certain light, though they wipe off easily

Video Review

The Ultraslim Woven case from Pitaka is an extremely thin case, and the one I have is in Midnight Black. It’s one of the 17 cases I tested for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and I’ve dailied it a bit on my black 18 Pro Max.

Design

This case looks really good. I love the design here. It kind of looks like pixels on the back. It’s a very minimal case.

I think the Midnight Black looks really good with my black iPhone 18 Pro Max, and this case style comes in a lot of other color options as well. Pitaka makes some really nice looking cases.

Feel, Buttons, and Camera Control

I love how this case maintains the way the phone feels in the hand. It’s super slim, it covers all the corners, and it has cutouts for the buttons, so you just have the natural feel of your buttons.

It does have capacitive touch for your camera control. As I push that down and activate camera control, everything works really well there, just like you have the button exposed.

Protection

Because it’s a super slim case, it’s not going to provide a ton of drop protection. It also isn’t going to provide much screen-down protection, so I highly recommend that you use a screen protector with this case.

I really like what Pitaka and some of the other brands making aramid fiber cases have been doing with these super slim cases. They’re nice and strong, and they add a layer of protection between your phone and whatever surfaces it’s going to come in contact with. They definitely prolong the finish of your phone and give it a little bit of style along with it.

Fingerprints and Keeping It Clean

I’ve dailied this case a bit, and it does collect some fingerprints. Most of the time you’re not going to see them, though. You really only see those fingerprints under the right lighting, like when you’re forcing an angle and the light is shining on the case.

I found that they wipe off relatively easily. This case wipes down really easy and is super simple to keep clean.

Who the Pitaka Ultraslim Woven Is For

If you want an extremely thin case that keeps the way your iPhone 18 Pro Max feels in the hand and still looks really good, check this one out. You’re not getting a ton of drop protection, though, and I’d plan on using a screen protector with it.
