Anime-themed smartphone accessory launches in Japan

Overview

Japanese companies are expanding the market for anime-themed smartphone accessories through various collaborations.

In late August 2026, GAACAL introduced a MagSafe-compatible ‘PaleCase’ collection based on ‘Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card’, featuring interchangeable design plates. Concurrently, the on-demand service caseplay released its third collection of ‘SPY×FAMILY’ accessories, which included slim protection cases made from 100% post-consumer recycled resin.

Following these releases, caseplay announced a new collection featuring ‘My Hero Academia’. Scheduled for mid-September 2026, this lineup includes 17 designs for various characters and utilizes the same recycled resin and on-demand printing model to minimize inventory.

On October 2, 2026, FOX Co., Ltd. expanded the caseplay lineup with a collection inspired by the film ‘Haikyu!! The Movie: Decisive Battle at the Dumpster Battle’. This collection offers 34 designs representing 17 characters from Karasuno High School and Nekoma High School, compatible with over 170 device models including iPhone, Xperia, Pixel, and Galaxy series. The products feature two styles: character illustrations and minimalist designs using jersey numbers, school icons, and names. Like previous releases, these slim protection cases use 100% post-consumer recycled resin and an on-demand printing system to minimize inventory.
