Got this for $10. Spigen is all u need..

Amazon - $10-30 for a case, some are better than others, some are the same thing you pay those high prices for. I find it hilarious that people spend so much money on a case.

In my opinion Casetify is a trend. A lot of celebs have them and people follow suit.

Cost and worth are very different things. I recently bought my first Casetify case ever - I wanted a clear case to show the new natural titanium colour - But must come with a cool design (which I found in their catalogue) instead of the usual boring plain clear - And must have MagSafe. I did a search on the internet all day and there really was nothing that would come close to that balance of quality - design - functionality that they offered, so I was willing to pay for it.

Yes I was one of those who used to laugh at their obnoxious price tags while rocking a $10 case without Apple Care and that was fine too. So it really depends on what you’re after and whether you’re willing/able to pay - Not so much the actual cost of making the case. Market price is all about demand/supply :)

I have bought two of their cases and it’s not worth it. I’ve bought the same $18 case from Amazon for four phones now and it’s outlasted

There’s always a sucker

Just got a customized Rhinoshield case from an artist that I like and it cost I think 60$ but 100 or even 120 is absolutely ridiculous. Have been using Spigen cases for most of the years and they held up really well

I like that they have biodegradable cases and I pay the premium for that. But you can get them from Etsy stores like mexiburg.com much cheaper and they have cool designs as well.

Ideal of Sweden is great for well made fashionable statement cases for women and some men 💜

My real wood and resin case from carved only costs $50 some dollars and they’re all 100% totally unique and BEAUTIFUL!

I was curious at first but then overnight every big influencer started promoting Casetify so I knew it had to be a scam.

I did, my kid wanted one for Xmas. To make things worse, they charged my foreign transaction fee smh

I'm blown away because their cases are not anything spectacular, they're plastic printed cases, and I'm almost 100% they have a knockoff they produce on Amazon called Mosnovo because it's the same print and style exactly.

Also, the prints scratch off on Casetify.

I think it's more a thing for kids that are into labels tbh. My niece is 15 and she uses them.

They realized that the pricing they use for official colabs- hiking the price to cover the cost- can be used on any case they make because people eat them up. Genuinely, the metal cases (like the Mandi Beskar ingot case) give you the quality for the money. The rest are not a good idea lol

Never heard of Casetify, their cases are ugly and bulky. What’s the appeal? Also $100 is pretty close to Apple Care+ pricing and Casetify won’t even replace your battery.

That’s actually insane, I find a 10-20$ clear case with good reviews. The cost of making them would never exceed that much

Yet another reason I go caseless…

Have you seen how much apple chargers for their cases?

Wow that’s crazy, I didn’t know they were that much $30-40 max for their cases 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Not being paid by the company but I’ll back a mous case every day of the weeek

The evangelism collar sold out like hot cakes someone is biting them lol. I think people also treat them as like collecting as they may be worth someone I think based on the collars they’ve been doing

They’re really unique. You have to pay for that.

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

Don't shoot me but I just bought a Casetify for my iPhone 15 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

I literally had never heard of the brand until I started googling for cases I liked when I had ordered the phone. I knew nothing about its purported status or what social media person had it and frankly even when going through their website I have never heard and/or could care less about their co-branding or licensed stuff.

I read reviews and the case actually did its job of protecting the iPhone which was very important to me as I would not have gotten a case based only on its style.

I can afford the cost but I am actually pretty frugal as I am replacing a six year old iPhoneX which has the same case I bought for it six years ago. I am only replacing the iPhone because it won't upgrade the iOS and also battery is starting to degrade so I thought why not.

Based on the time I will own the iPhone 15, the Casetify will cost me about $20 a year - which is a small sum for something that will give me a slight bit of aesthetic pleasure every day.

FWIW, my design is Art Deco inspired and I can't imagine a person thinking that OMG that is a high status case when I use my phone 🤣🤣

I don’t think they look that nice it’s just a glorified clear case that is customizable

I was willing to spend $60 on a dbrand ghost case, but only because they're the only ones that promise a replacement if your case gets yellow (which has happened to literally every transparent case I owned).

The evangelion collab cases are pretty cool design wise but the price is way too steep for a normal case. As for the non brand ones I feel like they're a waste of money, you could probably get a similar design on aliexpress.

Casely is the BEST. Their cases are around $50 for the bold style (which is really sturdy) but they do sales all the time so you can get one 40-50% off or BOGO. I love them bc you still get a pretty phone case but it isn’t so ridiculously expensive

These companies are very good at marketing mass produced cases they buy in bulk from china. They can essentially sell one case and pay off a bulk order of 100+ if we’re going by Alibaba pricing for casetify clones.

The cost of making a thing sets the minimum price.

The actual price is set by demand.

If you make a thing that costs $3 to make and can sell 4 of them at $6 or 3 of them at $9, you sell them for $9.

Presumably, yes, people are paying this much for the cases so that’s why they cost so much.

Apple fans generally have a lot more money to spend

People actually pay $1000 for Apple iPhones?

Everyone sees the value of objects differently.

I'm blown away because their cases are not anything spectacular, they're plastic printed cases, and I'm almost 100% they have a knockoff they produce on Amazon called Mosnovo because it's the same print and style exactly.

Also, the prints scratch off on Casetify.

I think it's more a thing for kids that are into labels tbh. My niece is 15 and she uses them.

I mean, your already paying $1,100 for a phone, what's another 10% to add personality?

Same. I cringe when I spend $50 for a speck case but they are pretty good and grippy. Still $50 for a thin piece of molded plastic and rubber is dumb. Sometimes I can find a $10-15 case on Amazon but sometimes takes 3,4 purchases/returns before I find a decent one.

Not specifically Casetify related, but I have noticed the price point for basically all cases in-stores now is $50 and most of them are dogshit. Companies are real bold charging fifty bucks and more for a case that cost them a dollar or two, landed.

I have a Casetify Impact case in matte black for iPhone 15 Pro that I'm no longer using. Non magsafe version. Happy to sell at half price if anyone is interested. Just DM me.

There's a Casetify store at the mall that I frequent. It always has a line on the weekends to get in. And people aren't just browsing either. They're buying stuff.

I really like some of their designs but the branding beside the camera makes me not want to buy them.

I do not spend that much money on cases. I have an off brand casetify. It’s a mosnovo and it has been serving me very well since I got my phone in August

Team no case here.

Over the past 15 years, starting to hate cases recently. Definitely raised more eyebrows than those with $100 cases.

they’re not even that great quality for being so expensive

I bought one in the past for my Iphone 12 pmax(around 60 bucks) not worth it to me, sure it's pretty protective but it's also very bulky also shipping took close to a month

I bought one 2 years ago, a magsafe one with the exact design and colors I wanted. €80 at the time and that was worth it to me, it saved my phone from many falls and just now after two years started wearing down. I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for the customization, and they seem to have increased their prices quite a bit... I wanted to get the same case again but I stuck to an otterbox.

I have ☺️ I really enjoyed the design but the side separated within six months - twice. So now I am not buying them again. Way too expensive for that quality issue. That said, really enjoyed the design.

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 ☺️

I’ve been using Spigen cases since getting my first iPhone which is an iPhone 4 and I’ve been fine.

When I got my iP12PM three years ago I went fine and dandy and bought the $69CAD Apple clear case. Until the time I sold it which was last month it never yellowed.

Every time I go on Casetify I get sticker shock. I just got an Otterbox case instead.

I "splurged" this year for a caudabe, which i love, and that was only $40. Normally go with spigen. Casetify is a scam for people with more money that brains.

It’s pure profit

Idk about iPhones but I got their MacBook case and it’s actually really well built shouts out to them.

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
