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?

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.
