CASETiFY’s New Retro Tamagotchi Collection Includes a Limited Edition Virtual Pet
Bandai’s nostalgic digital pet Tamagotchi has officially teamed up with global lifestyle brand CASETiFY for a retro-inspired tech accessory collection.
The “Tamagotchi x CASETiFY” collection perfectly captures the digital aesthetics of the nineties, translating the iconic toy into a wide range of everyday accessories.
The classic virtual companion originally launched on November 23, 1996, creating a massive cultural boom centered around raising pocket-sized creatures.
Bandai later successfully revived the property in 2004 with infrared communication features, continuously expanding the brand to reach over 100 million units shipped worldwide as of July 2025.
This fresh crossover follows another major announcement for the tech accessory brand, arriving just days after the launch of their supernatural DAN DA DAN smartphone case collection.
The “Tamagotchi x CASETiFY” collaboration blends vibrant colors, recognizable pixel icons, and whimsical sticker-style designs across a variety of smartphone cases and specialty gear.
A major highlight of the range is the custom “Tamagotchi Carry-on Suitcase”, which brings CASETiFY’s signature personalization options to travel luggage.
You can freely customize the exterior by selecting your favorite digital pet and adding your name or initials using the distinctive pixelated Tamagotchi font.
These suitcases are available in Primrose Pink and Cobalt Blue, allowing you to create a completely unique travel companion.
CASETiFY is also releasing the “Original Tamagotchi CASETiFY LIMITED EDITION”, an actual playable virtual pet featuring an exclusive logo shell design.
If you need to securely store your wireless earphones, the “Tamagotchi Plush Earbuds Pouch” offers a fun solution complete with a classic vinyl face.
The lineup also features playful attachments like an adjustable “3-Way Strap”, a smartphone strap paired with a detachable plush charm, and metal character hooks.
To further enhance the collectible nature of the crossover, CASETiFY is including a special bonus from their recently launched “CHASE CARD by CASETiFY” series.
Purchasing at least one item from the release will grant you a free pack containing one of several randomized premium collectible cards.
To celebrate the launch, CASETiFY is hosting a special Heisei retro-themed activation at their Shibuya PARCO 5F studio in Japan and the Dosan flagship store in South Korea.
Running from Friday, May 29, to Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the Shibuya event will feature immersive interactive photo spots alongside exclusive storefront designs.
Attendees will also be able to get their hands on the limited-edition playable digital pet, which is exclusively restricted to the online store and the Shibuya PARCO location.
Tamagotchi fans hoping to add a touch of nineties flair to their daily routine can purchase the collection starting on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 5:00 PM (JST).
Sales will be handled through the official CASETiFY online store, as well as physical retail locations across Japan, including the Osaka Shinsaibashi, Sapporo PARCO, Shibuya PARCO, Ikebukuro PARCO, Shinjuku Marui, Lucua Osaka, Hiroshima PARCO, Amu Plaza Hakata, Nagoya Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall, and NEWoMan Takanawa branches.
