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 think they look that nice it’s just a glorified clear case that is customizable

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

    They have a lot of official Collabs with popular Brands and i gonna guess one of the Reason why it is so high are Licensing Fees.

    I’ve bought their cases before because I liked a particular design but they did not use to cost that much! I opted for a Speck case for my 15

    I will pay $90 for a Bullstrap leather case because the leather is high quality and they have a fantastic warranty.

    Otherwise, I can’t imagine spending that much.

    The iPhone accessories market has gone nuts in the last few years. It’s becoming normalised for a completely unremarkable case to cost as much as a budget android phone which is just insane.

    People fall for the marketing lines like “military grade” and “the same material used in riot shields” when they are buying at most a couple of dollars worth of plastic/rubber/silicon pressed over an iPhone mould. There are plenty of good cheaper options though so just go for those

    I used to have one, but I got it in a good Black Friday deal for $40. My laptop case is still going strong.

    It’s the best, most protective case I’ve ever purchased and I’m protecting a $1300 device and the most expensive case I see on the site is $90.

    Social status…

    All of their cases have big obnoxious “Casetify” on the camera border, perfect for material conscious people to flaunt them.

    Somehow they sell a lot of cases. Baffling, I know. Funny thing is their cases aren’t even that nice IMO.

    Yes they do, Casetify is all about brand collabs or Hongkongers supporting a local business, other than that you probably wont find a single soul using them for the purpose of actually protecting their phone
