A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
This is why I buy ₹300-400 cases (4-6 USD). They serve 90% of the purpose of 60 USD cases and if I spend around ₹1000-1200 (12-14USD) then I get exact same quality as the 80-100 USD cases.
Idk why but these companies really do rip off Americans in the name of their beloved iPhone.
You bought an expensive phone and you’re worried about an expensive case?
People will pay incredible amounts of money for fashion and statements.
See: fashion. Video game cosmetics. Houses.
Simple as that.
They realized that the pricing they use for official colabs- hiking the price to cover the cost- can be used on any case they make because people eat them up. Genuinely, the metal cases (like the Mandi Beskar ingot case) give you the quality for the money. The rest are not a good idea lol
It’s all marketing and licensing. The cases themselves are pretty average to low quantity.
I mean, they pay for those overpriced original apple cases, that's more absurd to me
Those cases are gross! Especially that logo stripe around the camera. Just gross. Aesthetic cancer.
I did reluctantly buy one for my 15 pro despite the price increase after having them for my 12 pro. My issue is that I want magsafe AND a cool, fun design and I couldn’t find anything else
I was willing to pay $23 (they are more expensive in the US, but in Romania they are cheaper) for my brand new Speck clear case, because they are guaranteed to never yellow and they are very protective.
But I would never pay more than $40 for a case.
Yes.
If I've learned anything, you can sell anything at any price as long as you know your market, your demographic, and know how to bullshit.
Yes mine is
I may have spent 600 dollars on my phone but anything above 20 for a case is absurd
There’s always a sucker
My real wood and resin case from carved only costs $50 some dollars and they’re all 100% totally unique and BEAUTIFUL!
I was curious at first but then overnight every big influencer started promoting Casetify so I knew it had to be a scam.
Never heard of them. Looked them up. Find them to be gaudy and overpriced.
Amazon - $10-30 for a case, some are better than others, some are the same thing you pay those high prices for. I find it hilarious that people spend so much money on a case.
In my opinion Casetify is a trend. A lot of celebs have them and people follow suit.
Just got a customized Rhinoshield case from an artist that I like and it cost I think 60$ but 100 or even 120 is absolutely ridiculous. Have been using Spigen cases for most of the years and they held up really well
Got this for $10. Spigen is all u need..
Not being paid by the company but I’ll back a mous case every day of the weeek
I prefer Casely
I have bought two of their cases and it’s not worth it. I’ve bought the same $18 case from Amazon for four phones now and it’s outlasted
Apple fans generally have a lot more money to spend
I have ☺️ I really enjoyed the design but the side separated within six months - twice. So now I am not buying them again. Way too expensive for that quality issue. That said, really enjoyed the design.
I’ve been using Spigen cases since getting my first iPhone which is an iPhone 4 and I’ve been fine.
When I got my iP12PM three years ago I went fine and dandy and bought the $69CAD Apple clear case. Until the time I sold it which was last month it never yellowed.
I do not spend that much money on cases. I have an off brand casetify. It’s a mosnovo and it has been serving me very well since I got my phone in August
I was at Best Buy bought a case a few years ago 45 bucks and then went to Thailand it’s going for 2.40 cents the one in Thailand lasted longer
bruh just get a 3 dollar silicone case and youll be fine. i even bought 5 different colours.
I bought one 2 years ago, a magsafe one with the exact design and colors I wanted. €80 at the time and that was worth it to me, it saved my phone from many falls and just now after two years started wearing down. I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for the customization, and they seem to have increased their prices quite a bit... I wanted to get the same case again but I stuck to an otterbox.
I looked at Casetify Then I went to GoGase Got four cases for the price I would have paid For one case on casetify And they're basically the same thing Plus I love the customization on GoCase ☺️
People actually pay $1000 for Apple iPhones?
Everyone sees the value of objects differently.
Cost and worth are very different things. I recently bought my first Casetify case ever - I wanted a clear case to show the new natural titanium colour - But must come with a cool design (which I found in their catalogue) instead of the usual boring plain clear - And must have MagSafe. I did a search on the internet all day and there really was nothing that would come close to that balance of quality - design - functionality that they offered, so I was willing to pay for it.
Yes I was one of those who used to laugh at their obnoxious price tags while rocking a $10 case without Apple Care and that was fine too. So it really depends on what you’re after and whether you’re willing/able to pay - Not so much the actual cost of making the case. Market price is all about demand/supply :)
Not sure about others, but at least I do for all my phones
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.
Because of the brand, exclusivity, quality perhaps? 🤷🏻♂️ It’s like how ladies like to spend their cash on signature bags.
I'm blown away because their cases are not anything spectacular, they're plastic printed cases, and I'm almost 100% they have a knockoff they produce on Amazon called Mosnovo because it's the same print and style exactly.
Also, the prints scratch off on Casetify.
I think it's more a thing for kids that are into labels tbh. My niece is 15 and she uses them.
The cost of making a thing sets the minimum price.
The actual price is set by demand.
If you make a thing that costs $3 to make and can sell 4 of them at $6 or 3 of them at $9, you sell them for $9.
Presumably, yes, people are paying this much for the cases so that’s why they cost so much.
I did, my kid wanted one for Xmas. To make things worse, they charged my foreign transaction fee smh
I don’t think they look that nice it’s just a glorified clear case that is customizable
they’re not even that great quality for being so expensive
Wow that’s crazy, I didn’t know they were that much $30-40 max for their cases 😂🤦🏼♂️
I’m using an ESR case with MagSafe and stand built-in around the camera hole. Roughly $25CAD after taxes on Amazon. So far, can’t complain. Looks great and hopefully it can take a drop in an accident.
Never heard of Casetify, their cases are ugly and bulky. What’s the appeal? Also $100 is pretty close to Apple Care+ pricing and Casetify won’t even replace your battery.
Yet another reason I go caseless…
Every time I go on Casetify I get sticker shock. I just got an Otterbox case instead.
Idk about iPhones but I got their MacBook case and it’s actually really well built shouts out to them.
I REALLY like the street fighter design but 72 is ridic. I'll stick with my spigen and put stickers on it. Maybe
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..
