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 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.

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

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

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

    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 think its more about the brand name that’s on the package that’s commanding the high price tag.

    Before going MagSafe I’ve used several third party brands whose cases were under $20 each, purchased from Amazon, eBay, Five Below, and Walmart and all of them have done the job for me. The only name brand case I’ve ever purchased was the Otterbox I had for my iPhone 12…

    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

    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.

      You can’t go wrong splurging on Caudabe though. Unlike Casetify, Caudabe actually produces a quality case rather than relying on cutesy images.
