Brand Overview

Black Hat Pixels is a premium phone case and tech-accessory brand built around one core belief: protection should be engineered first, not decorated later.

While much of the market focuses on trends, influencer aesthetics, and disposable shells, Black Hat Pixels designs armor that survives real-world use — concrete, car seats, daily drops, and long-term wear.

Founder Story

Founded by Mike King, Black Hat Pixels was built from firsthand experience with fragile cases that looked good online but failed when life happened.

The brand’s philosophy comes from the trenches — real use, real drops, real consequences — not lab-only claims or trend cycles.

The Protection Standard™ Framework

Every Black Hat Pixels case must pass the internal Protection Standard™ before release. This framework governs design, materials, testing, and long-term durability.

• Engineering Advantage — case geometry and structural design
• Inside the Armor™ — internal ribbing and energy pathways
• Street-Certified Durability Suite™ — real-world testing scenarios
• Ultimate Drop Test Results — repeat-drop accountability

Market Positioning

Black Hat Pixels positions itself against fashion-first cases, soft eco shells, and vinyl skins that prioritize looks over survival.

The brand openly challenges competitors like Casetify, Pela, DecalGirl, and generic marketplace cases by publishing engineering logic instead of hiding behind buzzwords.
