Samsung's Galaxy S26 series lacks physical buttons common on other modern smartphones, such as a dedicated camera shutter or side keys. This omission forces users to rely solely on software solutions for functions like camera access. Pitaka offers cases that add crucial tactile buttons, addressing this gap.

The Pitaka Edge case provides ultra-slim protection with semi-capacitive buttons on the left side, while the Cairn case offers rugged protection and more tactile feedback. Both cases use NFC tags activated by holding the buttons, allowing customization via the Aaron Button app and Samsung Routines. The Cairn case, in particular, is favored for its ease of use despite added bulk.

This solution transforms the S26, giving it functionality competitors already have.
