People actually pay $100 for Casetify iPhone cases? (alien.top)

I just checked their website, and while yes, they do have gorgeous cases, I was genuinely mindblown to see their average is between $75 and $120.

I have a high income so it's genuinely not about money, I just don't see how creating a case can be so expensive?

Don't shoot me but I just bought a Casetify for my iPhone 15 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

I literally had never heard of the brand until I started googling for cases I liked when I had ordered the phone. I knew nothing about its purported status or what social media person had it and frankly even when going through their website I have never heard and/or could care less about their co-branding or licensed stuff.

I read reviews and the case actually did its job of protecting the iPhone which was very important to me as I would not have gotten a case based only on its style.

I can afford the cost but I am actually pretty frugal as I am replacing a six year old iPhoneX which has the same case I bought for it six years ago. I am only replacing the iPhone because it won't upgrade the iOS and also battery is starting to degrade so I thought why not.

Based on the time I will own the iPhone 15, the Casetify will cost me about $20 a year - which is a small sum for something that will give me a slight bit of aesthetic pleasure every day.

FWIW, my design is Art Deco inspired and I can't imagine a person thinking that OMG that is a high status case when I use my phone 🤣🤣
