I wince at those prices too, but the thought of that much phone without, gives me the willies, as they say here.
A memory from my early days working at a Conservatoire, that's a specialist music institution; an American girl had come over with her little violin in it's special hard flight case. The instrument was over $35k valuation, so the special hard flight case was a little over $3k to protect it. That was a privatei nstrument, her dad boughti t I suppose. the instituion bought grand pianos: Yamaha around £90k, so more in $$$s. The steinways were over £120k, enough to buy a small house in the provinces. I was just the computer fixer, for which they resented spending £200 each on them. It is also a hwile ago now, around the year 2k++. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Merritt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 26, 2014 10:25 PM Subject: Re: Bending iPhone? Hi Rob. When I looked online it looks like the prices keep going up each year. The Defender series cases were between $50 and $60, which seems to be the top of the line Otterbox cases. I've used Otterbox for the last few years, but I am going to see if there are similar Otterbox cases with screen protectors which are not quite as much.
