Apple

I payed $65 for my Mous case, hasn’t let me down yet

If for the rest of us who arent “high income” but are still able to afford a phone that can cost anywhere from $800-1200 then it makes sense to spend the extra $70-100 for a case that will pretty much last you for 3-4 years. Its a fantastic, durable case and one of the few brands where i can confidently have peace of mind if i drop it. Then theres customization and the thousands of designs to choose from. To me it makes a lot of sense. Why buy an expensive phone and then half ass it with cheap case?

Apple leather and clear case is the best option available since like 2012. But sadly leather is no more :(

I paid 35 dollars for mine off of Amazon for my 15 pro one.

Side note: If anyone hates cases, but wants the absolute minimum paper thin case for scratch protection, totallee has them on their website with Black Friday prices. I picked up the ultra slim magsafe i15p version for $23, normal $45. Keep in mind that it has no screen bump, so you may want a glass screen protector.

i think most people buy them due to the official collaborations ex.) hello kitty, pokemon, one piece etc. its hard to find decent cases that don’t look unbelievably cringe for some of those properties, most younger people nowadays do not care about how protective a case is they just want it to look cool and be themed around a property they like

i mean come on, a lot of people on this subreddit are buying the newest model iphone every year and just for what? to play apple arcade and browse reddit? 99% of people don’t need a new $1200 iphone every year yet theres millions who are constantly upgrading to get the “newest tech” when most of the time it is very lackluster upgrades between iphone generations

I actually haven't seen their cases before. I just checked them out and thankfully I don't see anything worth the cost (to me). I thought this was going to be a reverse psychology sort of thing where I go to their site and fall in love with a $100 case

I got a mous for £65/$80-ish and I have to say I felt super bad about paying that much but as I have a stable monthly allowance that I allow myself to spend on random shit, i decided that this time, I’m just going to buy this as it fits my monthly budget and I don’t have to buy stuff every single month.

So yeah for what it is it is expensive but it fit my budget and that is it

They sell well because YouTubers convince their audience that (Insert Product name here) will make you happier and more popular. It's dumb as heck, 90% of tech YouTube is just paid advertisements and volunteers giving free publicity in hopes of getting a product free in the future from the company and becoming a YouTube star. It's sad.

I wouldn’t recommend casetify. They’re trash, I gifted my bf one and he dropped his new iPhone and it shattered.

Not to mention the design on the bag easily peels off with normal wear.

I never spent more than 10€ for a case

Its cause it's the new in thing now. Everybody that has an iphone has to have a casetify case on it. Like a trend, everybody's doing it. I wanna do it. I don't care how much it costs.

I think the Casetify cases I’ve bought have been closer to $45.

I bought one for my 12 pro max. It retailed for around $75, I had a 30% code and there was another promo so it ended up being like $45. Pretty normal price for a case I’d say. They usually run promos and if you look, there will ALWAYS be a discount code available for use. In terms of quality, it’s definitely not a shitty case. The more expensive ones are often that price because they collaborate with individual artists so they have to pay a portion out.

I can get that case for 30 on eBay

MOSNOVO is good on Amazon

I would never pay that much for their cases personally

Yeah. I have two Bounce cases from them, a regular black one and an Evangelion one. I tried several cases from different brands like otterbox, spigen, but I loved how ultra protective Casetify bounce cases are and I enjoy how they feel in the hand the most because other cases felt cheap to me.

Most I’ve ever paid for iPhone case is about $50 from case-mate. That was when I purchased my first iPhone on my own phone line. Now I know better and I currently have a $2 case from SHEIN on my 14 plus

Yikes, I didn't realize they were that much.

I paid $60 for the leather 8-bit Pikachu  Watch strap and I feel like it was worth every penny (though, I look at the yellow now and it seems to have lost its luster).

I really wanted that Pokeball AirPods Pro case but it sold out too quickly.

The only people with Casetify cases are the influencers they paid to market them

I’ve got an otterbox case which at full price is $120+. I got it from Amazon for $40.

i just buy a 5-15 dollar case on amazon, never had an issue, plus i like changing things often so i like being able to have a new case every few months

The quality of their cases is pretty shit IME.

ESR baby

I paid $30 for my Speck grip phone case for my 13, and it’s been fine for 2 years now.

Used an otter box almost all my life. Having this slim case is like a dream.

I’m a fan of ESR cases. Their MagSafe case and accessories are super strong. Case is around $20.

Yeah that shits a scam. My girlfriend bought one less than a year ago for her XR and the frame just popped out. It was supposed to have some shock absorbing thing but it’s unusable. My Apple silicon MagSafe case for my 12 Pro is poor quality but ultimately lasted longer (since the launch of that phone)

I get more compliments about my $20 Amazon case than I ever did when I used to rock a Casetify - they didn't used to be as expensive as they were but tbh they're not even slightly worth it. They weren't even that great of quality imo.

I bought one for my iPhone 11, I think it was $70 and it was amazing the print stayed and the case was high quality. I bought one for my mini and one for my wife’s 12, the print scratched off my wife’s case, so they replaced it, once, but the print was gone the next month. The case for my mini fell apart, so they replaced it, once, and it fell apart within a week. I was pissed because they were expensive and when I complained all they offered me was 20% off another case, and I just kept saying why would I spend any money on a case that’s going to fall apart again? I would not and have not bought anything else from them since

I just use the Torras guardian mag case (about 23€ for me), feels well made and even let‘s u customize the buttons and has 3 colored aluminum action buttons, crazy value case.

I hate their cases but my wife swears by them. To each their own. She spend about $80-$90 on a new one with each phone upgrade we get.

my £15 case feels exactly the same as the expensive ones, i don’t see any difference in the 50 plus ones

I can’t live without my loopy case and it’s 40 bucks. 100 sounds absolutely absurd

I’m a Nomad fan personally

I have no idea how much I paid but I have a Casetify case. I didn’t know anyone who had one nor did I know it was the “in thing” as others have stated. I bought mine in a rush on iPhone 15 release date, but it’s already all scratched up and looks horrible.

Just remember that, back in the early days of the app store, somebody made an app called "I am rich". They listed it for $999, and all it did was display a photo of a gemstone. 7 people bought it.

There's a saying "a fool and his money are easily parted", and so long as that holds true, there will be people taking advantage of it. And honestly? I can't blame them. If you can figure out how to swindle somebody out of $100 for a $10 product, all the power to you.

Me currently using a $17 CAD spigen case and have been using spigen cases forever now almost 10 years

Geniuses buy fine woven cases, what do you think lmao

I can say that for the past 3-4 years, I have always used CASETiFY including my family members. It has help up pretty good and we have dropped our phones so many times. They also have good customer service

Try $250 for Element cases, they're really good.

I find it kinda mind-blowing how you can proclaim to have a high income and can't wrap your head around luxury products.

I'm sure you've paid incredible mark-ups for some of your outfits, even though you could have bought the fabric itself for like 5% of the cost of the outfit, or gotten a t-shirt at Walmart for 5 bucks.

And this is an iphone sub of all places. Apple has a pretty big history of marking items up at crazy prices just for branding.

I don't use a Castify case, but I'm assuming that because they market and brand a lot that they're trying to be mid-tier luxury phone cases.

average is between $75 and $120

And costs them $2-$3 to make

This case is made from aircraft black boxes recovered from actual plane crashes.

i spent like $80 before because of the design and protection it offered. when i upgraded almost a year ago i bought another $80 case and it broke twice - the back came away from the sides. so never again.

before i lost it, i loved my dbrand grip case, which was not that pricey but was pretty expensive. i miss the buttons the most. my $10 case’s buttons are frustratingly unsatisfying to press

They had an Eva collab recently, but I didn’t pony up $100. Only like $60 I think? Normally I just have random AliExpress cases though

I don’t think I’ll ever find a case I like as much as the Caudabe Sheath honestly. $39 which is still pretty steep for a case in my mind. I usually go Spigen on Amazon lol.

No
