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’ve bought plenty and loved them. Then when i upgraded from. 13 to 15 plus i bought an otter box defender XT because I didn’t wanna go ceaseless for the couple weeks it would have taken for a casetify case to arrive and while it might not look as nice i dont really wanna get one now. I’ve had a couple pretty nasty drops onto very rough textured concrete that the phone would have also survived just fine in a casetify case but would have left dings that would have always bothered me, The only thing wrong with this case is the general scuffs from normal use on the glossy clear back

The product is only worth how much the customer wants to pay for it.

I have a MOUS case, paid 45€ for it after I broke the screen for the second time and I‘m super happy with it. It looks nice and it has probably the best protection of the cases on the market.

Not me falling for it and buying one at $70 on black Friday sale. I just hope it was worth it. I have a casemate I think I payed 30 for and the thing is destroyed not even a year later. Let’s just hope the casetify holds up better.

Nobody judge me for how much I spent on my Carved case for my last few phones 😅

I buy bootleg Casetify from China with better quality than the original for like $3 each.

I am a woman who loathes carrying a purse, so I always go with CaseMate cases, which are a bit pricey. They have a coin purse on the back that carries all my cards, license, a bit of cash. Wearing it with the strap helps me wear it under a sweater or jacket when walking around cities.

Duh I have one

To be fair, I bought a 80$ leather case from Nomad. But I’m still 20$ below AND don’t have to touch plastic when using my 1.200$ phone.

This is insane, fuck Casetify. I was chosing between dbrand and them for my new phone and I’m glad I chose dbrand

[–] Brokenthoughts2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s a company based in China, is anyone surprised they don’t respect intellectual property

[–] spearson0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would not purchase from this company. They literally copied Dbrand's taredown designs.

Dbrand is suing Casetify for ripping off its Teardown designs

It’s been some while since I last bought cases but since upgrading from 12 pro to 15 pro and case shopping, I’m shocked on how big of a rip off cases are now. Everything’s $50+ for extending magnets?

I got x2 screen protectors for screen and x2 for cameras for iPhone 15 for 8$ off Ebay. While some "companies" sell the same thing for like 40-50$ just branded and with fancy website and words like someone mentioned down below "military grade".

And now Cassidy is being sued by DBrand because of allegedly stealing their products.

Holy crap I was reading this thread last night, and now it turns out Casetify is getting completely roasted on Twitter for stealing a ton of designs lol
