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.
