Takashi Murakami and CASETiFY have teamed up for a collection featuring MR. DOB, the Japanese artist’s signature avatar created in 1993 and a cornerstone in Murakami’s visual language.
This release marks the inaugural collection of CASETiFY’s new iCONS line, the tech accessory brand’s premium tier of partnerships featuring collabs with major cultural forces who define our times.
Headlining the collection is the Bounce Carry-On, a hardshell luggage style from the CASETiFY Travel line that launched in December 2024. It is offered in three colorways—Cobalt Blue, Cherry Red, and Matte Black—and is customizable with your initials.
The collection also features other special products such as an ultra-limited white camera ring, 3D AirPods cases, AirPods Max covers, trading card holders, and blind box MR. DOB danglers. Each design offers a glimpse into MR. DOB’s various renaissances throughout the years, symbolizing Murakami’s evolving artistic vision.
“Through this collaboration with CASETiFY, I wanted to witness a new world. I’m excited to see MR. DOB active in people’s daily lives through the medium of phone cases,” says Takashi Murakami. “The way MR. DOB wraps around the Bounce Carry-On and transforms into figure-like AirPods cases represents a new chapter in the character’s evolution.”
Priority access for the Takashi Murakami x CASETiFY “MR. DOB” collection will be available on April 10th at 10pm ET, ahead of the official launch on April 11th at 4am ET. Head to the CASETiFY website to sign-up for the priority access waitlist and check out the product lineup below.
