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?

I don't know about casetify, but I have paid $60 and more for UAG cases, that are lightweight and rugged and been buying them for 10 years at this point and I will continue to buy them until I die or they go out of business.

I also spend $40 to $50 for a good matte Glass screen Protector like Zagg Invisible Shield ones.

If I'm spending over $1,000 on a smartphone, spending an extra $100 or $150 to properly protect it is a no brainer. a Screen or rear glass replacement will cost you way more.
