I found an OEM iPhone 14 Pro Max case at Marshalls for 15 bucks. Best 15 bucks ever spent. Swear Apple would sell more cases if they were around this price. Not very protective but it’s stylish

I've been just fine with my MagBak case

TLDR: a cheap case is higher quality in my experience.

I had a few for my 11 pro max and they were $50 and lasted a year. Only after I bought my 14 pro max the sides were peeling off of the back plastic piece.

I tried two different otterbox cases( symmetry and commuter) and the quality isn’t great anymore.

The two cases I love are the Apple silicone case and the Sonix case.

Not me not ever!

Crazy to think it is the price of a pair of Air Max

just get an OtterBox and slap some stickers on it

I have the Casetify Impact Clear Case and I love it honestly. It was expensive yeah but I know my phone is going to be fine if I drop it and it feels great to hold.

Ppl spend 2k for 1tb iPhone and then buy cases for 3$ bc spending more is expensive.

it’s definitely just because of influencers, advertisers & social media. i have a 3 of them and every time i think it’ll be better quality but nah i do like the designs but they’re so cheap quality for the price. this clear one w a tan border rn scratched to eternity within a day or 2 of normal use. all others will either fade/yellow or just start chipping quicker than any other brand case i have. not worth it.

It’s a decent phone case, I guess, but honestly I’ve had Otterbox for years and I doubt I’d try it.

I'm using the ghost case and it looks really prim.

Seller price it whatever sells. Its the people who buy it. I mean how can you be so dumb to spend 100 fucking dollar on a phone case or even 50.

U can order better cases from china under 10$ and they are as safe as the overpriced ones.

I noticed them a few years ago too and I think a lot of the pricing is due to the fact that they are licensed to make cases with anime or Disney IP on them. They look nice but I'd never get them. Have you seen their Evangelion AirPods case that's a whole-ass baseball sized robot head that defeats the purpose of pocketability?

Apple leather case for $13 from woot. I want people know I have means, but not standards..

Rocking a $10 clear case from Amazon on my iphone 14 pro. Holds up really well. Dropped it many times by toddler knocks wood nothing so far.

There’s a brand on Amazon that makes quality cases that are like the castify cases called Mosnovo. Generally $18-$30. The designs are on the limited sign, but they’re great.

People who spend this much on phone cases are the same people who have either never heard of aliexpress or if they have, they don’t know how to use it.

I was pay even more just because can’t find same silicone case. All I have is worse or too expensive to get

I also can't understand it so I only bought cases under $30.

And now Cassidy is being sued by DBrand because of allegedly stealing their products.

I am a woman who loathes carrying a purse, so I always go with CaseMate cases, which are a bit pricey. They have a coin purse on the back that carries all my cards, license, a bit of cash. Wearing it with the strap helps me wear it under a sweater or jacket when walking around cities.

I have been using exclusively Casetify cases for about 3 years. I’ve never paid more than 60 dollars for a case on there as I usually use a YouTuber coupon code but their cases are actually really protective even the lesser versions. Hopefully I won’t jinx it but I’ve never had a phone break and I’ve always had good reliability, my first case broke after about a year and a half of use but I was getting a new phone anyway. I’ve had this new phone case for now about a year and a half and it is showing no signs of issues, wearing well and still no breakage.

Casetify. This is the way!

Bought 2 of them and couldn’t be happier with the level of protection and nice grip.

I’m only able to get 1-2 because they’re so expensive.

The evangelism collar sold out like hot cakes someone is biting them lol. I think people also treat them as like collecting as they may be worth someone I think based on the collars they’ve been doing

They’re really unique. You have to pay for that.

Fools and their money

I buy about three a week. That’s an average, sometimes it’s three or more in a single evening.

I know they’re terrible for me, but everyone needs a treat on occasion. They also taste awful, and don’t do my stomach any favours.

Maybe I should try chewing them… or at least cutting them up. 🤔

I was raised by ducks, and I’ll be damned if I stop eating like a duck.

i never looked into casetify due to me finding the branding around the camera to be ugly as hell, but i did check it when i saw the Evangelion collaboration.

the prices are fucking insane. i always thought that this brand is so big because they made cheap colourful cases with the consumer’s favourite brand on it

I paid $65 for my Carved case... but they hold up really fucking well and I love the uniqueness of the wood slices. My old one lasted the entire lifespan of my Iphone 11 Pro (just upgraded this year)

I really like some of their designs but the branding beside the camera makes me not want to buy them.

I love their designs, but I also don’t see spending that much on a case. I bought a mous case for 55€ and that is about the highest I will go.

I also haven’t heard good things about their shipping times and support. When spending so much for a case I would expect it to be delivered fast and to get a quick and helpful answer when a problem arises, I don’t think you will get that service with Casetify.

Yes they do, Casetify is all about brand collabs or Hongkongers supporting a local business, other than that you probably wont find a single soul using them for the purpose of actually protecting their phone

They used to be like $40-60 just a few years ago and I had a couple but now they’re literally nearly $100 for any case and I can’t justify spending $100 on a case that isn’t even that nice and just has a cute design on it

Social status..

All of their cases have big obnoxious “Casetify” on the camera border, perfect for material conscious people to flaunt them.

I used to have one, but I got it in a good Black Friday deal for $40. My laptop case is still going strong.

It’s the best, most protective case I’ve ever purchased and I’m protecting a $1300 device and the most expensive case I see on the site is $90.

I went with Nomad’s Rugged case for $35 and have zero regrets.

It is the exclusivity that matters. I want people to know I have the means to afford a Casetify case.

jk, I’ve never heard of that brand. I don’t even use a case.

Holy shit yes. Thought the same when I checked their site, what the fuck? I won’t pay more than 30-40€ for a case

Somehow they sell a lot of cases. Baffling, I know. Funny thing is their cases aren't even that nice IMO.

They have a lot of official Collabs with popular Brands and i gonna guess one of the Reason why it is so high are Licensing Fees.

The iPhone accessories market has gone nuts in the last few years. It’s becoming normalised for a completely unremarkable case to cost as much as a budget android phone which is just insane.

People fall for the marketing lines like “military grade” and “the same material used in riot shields” when they are buying at most a couple of dollars worth of plastic/rubber/silicon pressed over an iPhone mould. There are plenty of good cheaper options though so just go for those

Wow didn’t know they were that much.

Don't know neither.

A Spigen at $12 from Amazon is more than enough.

i paid $70 for my pitaka case because it’s the closest thing to a caseless phone that i’ve found. worth it to me.

I bought a One Piece collaboration with the soft corners. I love it. In the end of the day that’s still cheaper than paying for Apple Care

I will pay $90 for a Bullstrap leather case because the leather is high quality and they have a fantastic warranty.

Otherwise, I can’t imagine spending that much.

Casely was $25 but I only bought it because it glows in the dark and I really loved it. Casetify prices went really high recently. They were never cheap but..
