pitaka for Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Case, 6.9 Inch, Compatible with MagSafe, Protective S25 Ultra Case, 1500D Aramid Fiber Made [PinButton] Black/Gray

I've been a loyal buyer of Pitaka Cases and accessories for a few phone generations now. I always love the sleek, beautiful, and premium design of their cases. The aramid fiber always looks so nice on my flagship Samsung devices. I already have the 600D Black/Grey (Twill) Ultra-Slim Case and absolutely love it! It's been my favorite case series for all my galaxies. Then they released the Pin Button case for the S25 Ultra, and its functionality intrigued me, so I just had to give it a try. I think I have a new favorite case! It feels great in my hand. I miss having the wrap around aramid fiber on the sides, but the trade off feels more than worth it, with better protection from the TPU, and the inclusion of 3 programmable buttons. There isn't a noticeable seam between the aramid fiber and TPU, which I honestly I found pleasantly surprising, because I was afraid it would be a huge departure from the seamless all aramid fiber case. The soft Nappa leather lining really feels like it just wants to cradle and protect my phone. The exterior textures have just enough grippiness to not feel like it's going to slip out of my hand, although I always use some sort of magsafe grip as well. Pitaka makes grips that match the color scheme of your phone, which is great if you're a fan of matching accessories. And magsafe accessories stick really well to the case. Visually, the case is so slim that it adds almost zero bulk to the phone, and looks just as premium as the phone itself. It slides smoothly into my pocket and I can easily fit my phone in my Gamesir controller grip without having to remove the case, which is a huge plus! The only slight complaint I have, is that the Pinbuttons aren't always as responsive as I'd like, but they still work every time. Sometimes I just have to hold down the button a beat longer before it responds. So it's really not a big deal, and I honestly think it's more about how NFC behaves rather than any fault of the case. I currently have Calendar, Camera, and Samsung Health mapped to the buttons, but with using Samsung Routines, the possibilities are nearly infinite! You can map nearly any action or app to the buttons. I highly recommend this case!

Pitaka S25 Ultra PinButton: Sleek Protection with an added bonus The Pitaka S25 Ultra PinButton case offers a compelling blend of premium materials and minimalist design for Samsung's flagship. Crafted from aramid fiber, it feels incredibly light yet surprisingly robust. The sleek texture provides excellent grip without adding bulk, a welcome change from many bulky protective cases. While not as thin as the non pinbutton cases it does feel like it will offer a little protection. The signature "PinButton" system is a standout feature. A quick scan of the nfc tag in the case takss you to instructions to setup the routine to make the buttons work. Really nice feature i didnt imagine how useful it would be until i was running complex routines with a quick press of a button. The feel of the button is also nice and the ho.e and volume buttons through the case retain a quality feel possibly even better that the phones button without a case. The cutouts are precise, providing easy access to ports and the S Pen. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging work flawlessly with the case. However, the premium materials come at a premium price, making it a significant investment. While the case offers scratch and minor drop protection, those seeking rugged, heavy-duty defense might need to look elsewhere. **Pros:** * Lightweight and slim design * Excellent grip * Premium aramid fiber material * Customizable PinButtons * Precise cutouts * Wireless charging compatible and magsafe **Cons:** * Expensive * Offers moderate, not heavy-duty, protection * pinbuttons have a slight rattle to them in really quiet environments. **Verdict:** The Pitaka S25 Ultra PinButton case is a stylish and well-crafted option for users who prioritize a slim profile and premium feel over maximum protection. The customizable buttons add a unique touch. However, the high price point and moderate protection level might not appeal to everyone.

I am an old member who has been using Pitaka since they first launched their iPhone cases. Pitaka has been creating very luxurious products with a combination of their unique MagEz technology and carbon cases. Nowadays, many other brands offer carbon cases, but it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Pitaka was the pioneer. Recently, I purchased Samsung's S24 Ultra, and as expected, I immediately bought a Pitaka case, which I have been very satisfied with. Then, I heard about the launch of the new PinButton Case, and being very curious about the product, I purchased it without hesitation. When I first encountered this PinButton Case, I was incredibly impressed by Pitaka's innovation. I praised Pitaka's unique idea when I first experienced their MagEz magnetic feature, but the PinButton Case is particularly special because it offers wireless charging functionality using magnets for Galaxy devices, similar to Apple’s MagSafe, and it also provides the functionality of the action button, first introduced in the iPhone 15 series. Here are my thoughts after using this case for seven days: Pros a. The quality of this case is outstanding. There is no need to doubt the quality of Pitaka cases. Having used their cases since the first iPhone series, I can confidently say that their quality surpasses any other brand’s cases. b. The grip is excellent. Even though the case has become slightly thicker due to the added PinButton feature, the grip wasn’t uncomfortable, possibly thanks to the TPU on the side. c. This case is very convenient to use. The Apple Wallet function, which works by double-clicking the power button on Apple devices, isn’t available on Galaxy devices. Instead, you have to swipe up from the bottom to use Samsung Pay, which I found inconvenient. Assigning a function to the PinButton and using it has been incredibly convenient. d. It’s lightweight. The official weight of this product is 34g, but I didn’t notice any difference in weight after attaching the case. e. It’s sturdy. This product uses 1500D carbon. The Aramid Fiber material makes it very durable. It provides full protection, so there’s no worry about damage if the phone is dropped. f. It’s fun. I installed an app that plays a specific sound on the PinButton. When I’m bored, I press the button to hear the sound, and it becomes like a fidget toy. Cons a. Currently, there’s only one plain color available. It would be nice if more colors were released in the future. b. The retail price is set at $69, but considering the idea and quality of this product, it’s not expensive at all. Overall Opinion As expected, Pitaka never disappoints. I’ve never been let down by a Pitaka product, and I’m very satisfied with this PinButton Case as well. Despite the PinButton feature, the product isn’t bulky, and it offers a great grip. The PinButton operates quickly, and the click feeling of the button is so good that I press it habitually. Overall, after using this product, I would highly recommend it to my acquaintances.

TLDR: This is the best overall case for the S25 Ultra. Excellent customizable Pin Button and better MagSafe (surprisingly cooler accessories due to slight camera bump). However, visible quality issue on the corner for the premium price. The Good: * Back Swipe Gesture: One of the extremely few cases where the back gesture is not interrupted and leaves just enough room on the sides. * Fantastic Pin Button: Immediately worked. Customizable button adds significant convenience. * Better MagSafe & Cooler Accessories: Almost flush camera with a tiny bump seems to improve airflow, keeping Qi2 MagSafe accessories cooler during use. * Solid Protection: Feels sturdy and protective. * Premium Feel: Good materials and comfortable grip. * Precise Cutouts: Camera and ports are well-aligned. The Bad: * Visible Defect: Top left corner shows exposed phone frame (poor quality control). * Inconvenient Cleaning: Must remove entire case to wipe screen of stuck on dust/dirt. Other cases accommodate this by having a bump/cutout on a side portion of the case (Other Pitaka cases have this). Overall: This case stands out for its useful customizable Pin Button and the improved MagSafe experience thanks to the almost flush camera design, which surprisingly helps keep accessories cooler. While it offers good protection and a premium feel, the visible quality issue on the corner is a letdown considering the price.

Pitaka has quickly become my favorite phone case company. I chose this case due to the functionality provided that no other phone case on the market can offer. There are three extra buttons on the left side of the case that can be programmed to do just about anything. It is so convenient to be able to press a button and instantly be able to record audio without having to find the audio recording app in my phone. Pressing another button brings up my security cameras for my home so I can instantly see what's going on when I am away. My other button is programmed for Google Gemini so my AI assistant of choice is instantly available. As I said, the buttons can be programmed to do just about anything. They add so much more functionality to the phone! Not only does the phone case add those three extra buttons that no other phone case can provide, it is also MagSafe compatible which gives so many more options of accessories to use with the phone such as external wireless batteries, phone stands, and more! The case is raised in all the corners and has protected my phone already from several drops and there isn't a scratch on it. It also has easy access to the S Pen. After all the functionality I have mentioned, I forgot to mention the most surprising thing of all I enjoyed about this case that I didn't even consider when purchasing it... The design! I absolutely love the textured aramid fiber on the back of the case and just the minimalist feel. The way this case feels in the hand makes you feel like you have the most premium case available on the market today! I absolutely would and have recommended this case to many others and Pitaka will always be my phone case manufacturer of choice going forward!

So, I picked up the PITAKA PinButton Case for my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and man, I’m really into it. The PinButtons are just awesome. You get three of them on the side, and you can set them to do cool stuff like open an app or snap a picture with one quick press. They’re so clicky and fun to mess with—I keep hitting them ‘cause they feel super satisfying. The design is totally my style—sleek and not in-your-face. It’s got this black/grey woven look that’s classy but chill. My phone doesn’t feel heavy or clunky with it on, which is a big plus. The aramid fiber has a nice grip so it doesn’t slip out of my hand, and it stays clean—no smudgy fingerprints messing up the vibe. The cutouts are perfect. Charger, speakers, mic, camera—everything lines up just right, with a little lip to protect the screen and lenses. No wrestling with cables or dealing with muffled sound. The aramid fiber feels like it could handle some rough days, like if I accidentally drop my phone, it’d probably be okay (fingers crossed). The TPU sides give it a bit more cushion, which makes me feel better. Oh, and it’s MagSafe-ready—snaps onto my charger and car mount like nothing, and wireless charging works without a hitch. This case is straight-up great. It looks sharp, feels solid, and those buttons make it fun to use. You gotta check it out.

First the good: The case fits good. Feels good. The buttons are clicky and easy to press. I really have no complaints with build quality. The pin buttons are a neat idea and you can do so much in combination with modes and routines. For example, you could have it set up so that it will open an action list with all the screen timeout settings. Or you could use them in conjunction with home automation, like to open garage door, or turn on a light. The possibilities are staggering. Magnets are strong enough, though I wish they were strong enough to hold it to the fridge, but not a deal breaker. Now, to the bad. The pin buttons are too easy to press. So.... if you're like me and you set your phone on its side to watch YouTube, etc the buttons depress, activating whatever you have set up. If you flip it over, the power button depresses turning off the screen. So, in my "screen timeout" example. I set it up with the condition to be pressing the back button first, to avoid accidentally opening the action panel. Problem is, when you scan an nfc tag, or in this case, push one of the buttons, it makes YouTube and other apps close to a pop-up window. Really annoying. Only options are to turn off nfc, which disables the buttons, which makes the buttons not work. Then every time I want to use the pin buttons, I gotta turn nfc back on. To go to that much trouble, I might as well just do the action from phone itself. My recommendations to Pitaka are simple. Raise the rubber around the buttons so that the buttons don't protrude. They could also add a button on the other side that, when pressed would compete the circuits of the other buttons. This way, you would have to push that trigger button, at the same time as the pin buttons. But, if they just raised the rubber around the pin buttons, that would suffice and not raise the cost of the case much. Unfortunately, I have to return this case and I hope they fix it in the future. I really wanted to like it.

Pros: Really nice texture on the back, almost like a little finger tip massage when you run your fingers along it, I've always loved the feel of these aramid fiber cases. I really like the precise camera cutouts as it's important for me for a bit of extra drop protection. The weight seems on par with other amazon cases I've purchased which is great for the added functionality. The buttons are wonderful, clicky, and the set up process is fairly smooth with the provided instructions. It's awesome to be able to set them to almost anything I would like and currently I have my camera, reddit, and wallet as my buttons and can change them super easily. Cons: The "border" or the sides of the case is made of what feels to be a cheap plastic. It reminds me of when I would get cases off temu or etsy for $3-$8. For such an expensive case I would expect it to feel a bit higher quality, so that is a let down for me. It is the type of thin plastic that is stretched out over time and I can already see it slightly happening at the top left. I would love to see them wrap the really nice aramid fiber around the sides and seal it off at the lip similarly to their cases. Another con is that the aramid fiber is very finger printy but if you've ever had a case made from this material you're well aware of this and this is not just the fault of the case. Overall: I will use this case due to the great functionality, but I'm curious to see how the sides wear. Pitaka, if you're reading this, I really hope for future cases you will consider wrapping the aramid fiber around the sides as that would make it SO much better.
