CASETiFY and Evangelion's PROJECT-CSTF drops tech peripherals for 30th anniversary

CASETiFY and Evangelion unveiled PROJECT-CSTF: PROTECTION from IMPACT, a collaboration centered on tech peripherals that hit market on February 20, 2026 to mark the franchise’s 30th anniversary. The collection’s name and timing are an explicit nod to Evangelion’s milestone, and CASETiFY positioned the drop around tech accessories rather than clothing.

PROJECT-CSTF emphasizes tech-first pieces rather than apparel, framing the tie-up in CASETiFY’s core category. The release language places "PROTECTION from IMPACT" directly in the product narrative, signaling phone and device defense as the collection’s purpose. Hypebeast reported the drop date and called out the focus on peripherals, confirming that the collaboration is built to dress devices for collectors and everyday users alike.

The collaboration’s timing ties directly to Evangelion’s 30th anniversary, making this saleable nostalgia rather than a seasonal capsule. By aligning with that milestone, CASETiFY turns device accessories into commemorative merch for fans who want an everyday touchpoint to the franchise. The PROJECT-CSTF naming convention reads like a utility brief - protection, impact, and a coded project title - which keeps the collaboration within the pragmatic design language CASETiFY customers expect.

For streetwear and fandom culture the significance is practical: a February 20, 2026 release means pieces are already circulating in resale channels and social feeds, and the decision to emphasize peripherals over apparel narrows the market to owners of phones, earbuds, and similar gadgets. That narrower focus also changes how collectors style Evangelion pieces: instead of jacket silhouettes or graphic tees, the centerpiece is the device in hand or on a desk.

PROJECT-CSTF: PROTECTION from IMPACT is a clear example of how anniversary licensing is shifting toward everyday objects. CASETiFY’s drop on February 20, 2026 makes Evangelion a literal accessory to daily tech, turning 30 years of the franchise into decals, cases, and protection systems for the gadgets fans carry. The collaboration stakes a claim in the intersection of anime fandom and streetwear utility, and its timing with the 30th anniversary cements the drop as both collectible and functional.
