Apple's most underrated accessory

Apple-branded iPhone cases cost many times more than 3rd party products, but the quality is not commensurate. 


 's assessment According to Lifehacker , in many cases, high-priced items go hand-in-hand with quality. Most Apple products achieve that, but genuine branded iPhone cases do not.

If users buy iPhones from Apple.com website or Apple stores, the company will introduce cases to help protect expensive phones more securely. However, you should look to a product with the same 3rd party features. 

The case is overrated

When you buy an iPhone that costs more than $1,000 , a $59 case (the price in Indonesia is about 11-12 million IDR depending on the material) seems to be a small extra cost. In fact, that's a lot of money for such an accessory.

"I use a leather case with MagSafe for iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the edges quickly peel off, lose their brown color, making the appearance look pretty bad after only 2 months of use. 

Apple sells 3 types of iPhone cases: transparent, silicone and imitation leather. 's assessment According to Lifehacker , none have the same quality as the company's selling price.

When you pay $49- $59 for a 3rd-party iPhone case, you get a high-quality, durable product, while Apple accessories don't.

According to the actual use of many people, Apple's transparent iPhone cases often crack on the sides, the silicone type is fragile, and the leather version, the most expensive type, wears unevenly after a while. If you absolutely must use an Apple case, perhaps choosing the leather one is more durable.

However, leather cases require extra care and are not suitable for everyone. If you have sweaty hands, the holster will look dirty or get old pretty quickly. It will be easier for users to find cheaper and better iPhone cases than Apple's own options.

Perhaps the most significant advantage of the iPhone cases sold by Apple is the one-year warranty. Users can bring their old case to an Apple store or contact customer support to request a replacement for a new case due to a manufacturing defect or damage with regular use.

Do you need an iPhone case?

When you use your iPhone without a case, the chances of cosmetic damage are quite high. A good case will greatly reduce that rate. However, if you really don't like using a case, you should consider buying an extended warranty. 

AppleCare+ is probably the best service for iPhone. Additionally, in some places, additional coverage options are included. This way, if the iPhone is damaged by an unexpected accident, the user will be assisted to fix the problem or even get a brand new iPhone.

However, the most important thing is still to pay attention to the machine. In general, do not be subjective when using an expensive device and very low repairability like an iPhone.
