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

I would never pay that much for their cases personally

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

average is between $75 and $120

And costs them $2-$3 to make

I've only ever been tempted to buy the licensed ones, like the One Piece cases. Obviously, the fact that I still don't have any is proof that I've managed to be reasonable and resist lol.

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.

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 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.

it’s definitely just because of influencers, advertisers & social media. i have a 3 of them and every time i think it’ll be better quality but nah i do like the designs but they’re so cheap quality for the price. this clear one w a tan border rn scratched to eternity within a day or 2 of normal use. all others will either fade/yellow or just start chipping quicker than any other brand case i have. not worth it.

Of course they do or they wouldn’t be a business. Me, I’m buying Spigen lol.

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.

No

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

No one pays that price. Influencers have codes they give out that brings the price down 20-30.

Ppl spend 2k for 1tb iPhone and then buy cases for 3$ bc spending more is expensive.

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.

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

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.

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

Crazy to think it is the price of a pair of Air Max

just get an OtterBox and slap some stickers on it

The quality of their cases is pretty shit IME.

It’s a “lifestyle” product. Just like the outrageously priced patagonia fleeces, stanley cups, and birkenstocks.

ESR baby

It’s a decent phone case, I guess, but honestly I’ve had Otterbox for years and I doubt I’d try it.

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

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

I have the Casetify Impact Clear Case and I love it honestly. It was expensive yeah but I know my phone is going to be fine if I drop it and it feels great to hold.

I bought a Casetify case (on sale though, I probably wouldn't have paid full price for it).

It's a nice case and has a design I liked from an artist I've followed for a while, plus it feels pretty solid and has withstood a couple of nasty drops pretty well.

It's just over a year later and the case is still holding up really well, although my wife's case (different design but also Casetify) fell apart after about 8 months.

I like the case I have from them but given what happened to my wife's one, I probably wouldn't buy from them again. My wife now has Spigen case that was cheaper but feels about as nice as the Casetify, but just looks a lot more generic.

Yup and they swear it’s the best case they’ve owned in their lifetime 🤣 it’s crazy how easy people are to swindle with smart marketing tactics

I’m one of those goofballs who pays that much for a casetify case. But honestly, I love them and it makes me happy, especially considering how much I look at my phone every day. I switch it up maybe once a year.

Most ppl are smart and avoid that scam. The ppl they market those cases too are ppl like me. Im an idiot. I have one… and it feels great. But not $100 great. But like amazon has this same case under some weird name for maybe $25 bucks type great. Sigh why do i hate money

Seller price it whatever sells. Its the people who buy it. I mean how can you be so dumb to spend 100 fucking dollar on a phone case or even 50.

U can order better cases from china under 10$ and they are as safe as the overpriced ones.

I hate Casetify, their logo is too prominent. It's like you're paying them to advertise on your phone.

Since I have an iPhone 11, I only pay about $40 for their cases. Still expensive for a phone case, but for the price of two (Evangelion and One Piece case), any iPhone user above mine would be paying about the same for one.
