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?

    Otterbox is the most expensive case I’ve ever bought…

    But considering their reputation and the fragility of modern iPhones, I need it.

    Going beyond $40 seems a bit ridiculous though

    I really like some of their designs so I make the splurge. That said, I have not paid more than 62 dollars for one, which is steep, yes, but just saying that the simpler builds are in that range, e.g the ones without camera covers and overdesigned bumpers.

    Marketing. That’s all it is. Just upscale marketing of their product. Price it expensive and many will assume it’s more valuable or somehow “better”. I get bored with phone cases and cycle through too many to pay that,much for one. 60 bucks is the most I would spend and even then it better be a neat case.

    Yikes, I didn’t realize they were that much.

    I paid $60 for the leather 8-bit Pikachu  Watch strap and I feel like it was worth every penny (though, I look at the yellow now and it seems to have lost its luster).

    I really wanted that Pokeball AirPods Pro case but it sold out too quickly.

    I looked at Casetify Then I went to GoGase Got four cases for the price I would have paid For one case on casetify And they’re basically the same thing Plus I love the customization on GoCase ☺️

    Because of the brand, exclusivity, quality perhaps? 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s like how ladies like to spend their cash on signature bags.

    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

    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

    Hell no, so many Casetify cases I like but I’m so damn picky with my phone cases. I end up buying Spigen cases and putting decal stickers on them. Rocking a Spigen MagSafe slim case with gengar on the back of it

    i paid $70 for my pitaka case because it’s the closest thing to a caseless phone that i’ve found. worth it to me.

    I mean, they pay for those overpriced original apple cases, that’s more absurd to me
