Teenage Engineering CA-X Black Pocket Operator Pro Case

Quick Summary

The Teenage Engineering CA-X Black is a protective silicone pro case designed for the full Pocket Operator range. It adds a more substantial feel while helping protect the exposed circuit-board design during everyday use and transport.

With built-in battery protection, anti-slip feet, pro-feel buttons and microphone access, the CA-X is a practical upgrade for anyone using a Pocket Operator regularly.

What Makes the Teenage Engineering CA-X Black Special?

Pocket Operators are intentionally minimal, exposed instruments, and the CA-X gives them a more conventional handheld feel without taking away their compact character. The silicone shell provides additional protection around the unit while keeping the controls and button lights accessible.

The CA-X also incorporates anti-slip feet, battery protection, a neck strap and pro-feel buttons. Its updated design includes microphone access, making it compatible across the full Pocket Operator family.

Who Is It For?

The CA-X Black is ideal for Pocket Operator owners who want added protection and a more substantial playing feel.

It is particularly useful for musicians who regularly carry their Pocket Operator between home, rehearsals, performances or production sessions, as well as anyone who prefers more traditional button-style controls.
