Veteran US mobile-protection brand debuts 24K gold-plated craftsmanship, foldable-screen expertise and Multi-Ap 5.0 drop-proof technology on iPhone launch day
California, USA, September 9, 2026. RAPTIC, a Los Angeles-founded advanced-material protection brand with a 16-year heritage in premium mobile accessories, is rolling out its Aramid Gold Shell lineup to match Apple’s new iPhone 18 and iPhone Duo. The collection combines gold-plated craftsmanship, proprietary Gold-Yarn™ aramid-weave technology, and advanced folding-hinge protection. It has drawn attention across Middle East retail shows and among global social creator communities.
A Los Angeles Brand With a Global Footprint
Founded in Los Angeles, California, in 2010, RAPTIC is a veteran mobile-protection specialist. Over 16 years, the brand has built a global footprint across more than 30 countries, with over 23,000 retail touchpoints worldwide and long-standing partnerships with major retail chains, including Walmart and Best Buy. Its products are sold within the Apple accessory retail ecosystem. RAPTIC developed its Multi-Ap structured drop-protection technology and has continued to refine aramid-fiber protective solutions across successive iPhone generations.
Inside the Aramid Gold Shell Series
The Aramid Gold Shell series brings together several of the brand’s proprietary innovations in one materially advanced phone-case portfolio:
• 24K gold-plated craftsmanship: phone-case construction that incorporates real-gold elements.
• Gold-Yarn™ aramid weaving: strong protection with a slim, refined hand-feel.
• EasySnap™ gilded camera bezel: lens protection paired with a premium finish.
• Luxury vegan-leather magnetic hinge protection: designed specifically for foldable devices.
• NFC chip anti-counterfeit authentication: one chip per device for traceability and authenticity verification.
• Five-generation sustainable eco-packaging: part of the brand’s sustainability commitment.
• Multi-Ap 5.0 drop-proof technology: enhanced impact resistance.
Built for Foldable Devices
As a specialist in premium foldable-device protection, RAPTIC builds a self-rebounding, hinge-preserving architecture into the Gold-Shell Skin-Pro variant. The magnet-aligned vegan-leather hinge cover fits the foldable chassis closely, helping reduce hinge wear while keeping a slim profile. The design targets premium foldable smartphones, including the iPhone Duo and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.
The Gold-Shell collection has drawn interest overseas. Footage from Middle East trade exhibitions and social-media creator reviews shows consumer interest, with regional creators showcasing the blended aramid-and-gold texture across social platforms. Built on aramid-fiber material research, RAPTIC aims to balance strong real-world protection, a thin profile, and an upscale look for high-end smartphone users.
“Apple’s new iPhone hardware raises the bar for mobile experience, and users deserve matching protection that blends engineering excellence with refined style,” said a RAPTIC brand spokesperson. “Our Aramid Gold-Shell series merges 16-year material-protection expertise, real-world drop-proof performance, foldable-hinge engineering, and thoughtful sustainable design. We aim to deliver not merely phone protection, but a premium tech-lifestyle statement for discerning global consumers.”
The RAPTIC Aramid Gold-Shell lineup covers the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo. Its tiers (Skin, New Dual, Dual Ultra and Skin-Pro) offer different combinations of thin-profile comfort, full-body cushioning and foldable-hinge care. The collection debuts on Amazon and the brand’s official website, and will roll out across RAPTIC’s global partner retail locations thereafter.
