NEWS – The cost of a new iPhone is crazy right? Then let me blow your mind by showing you a Gresso Magnum case for the iPhone X and XS series of smartphones. These cases have a grade-5 titanium outer shell with a TPU interior shell. They look nice enough, but would you believe that they are priced at $595 each? The first word that comes to my mind is “why”.
Gresso says that these cases can save the iPhone from a 30-foot drop and loads of 550 lbs. I say you have to be nuts to spend that much money on an iPhone case unless you’re Oprah or Elon Musk and have money sprouting from your … ears. Still interested? You better hurry over to Gresso or Amazon because they’ve only made 999 of these limited edition luxury cases. I think I’ll keep my cash in the bank and will stick with my Pitaka case.

Being metal, they probably attenuate the signal too. Yay!
I think I will save some money by just wrapping my iPhone 8 Plus in a couple of iPhone 6s.
Ha! You’re going to need some big pockets!
made me think of the Rhinoskin cases for my Palm devices. I thought they were expensive, but they would have bargain at twice the price (and still cheap compared to this) 🙁
When I see all these uber cases to protect your expensive phone, the first thing I say is “what the heck are people doing to their phone”. I’ve never used anything more than a slim minimal case to protect the finish. I keep my phone in a padded belt clip case. But, I do see MANY people that have the “PIHS” (phone in hand syndrome) that are to the point where the human species needs to evolve to have a 3rd hand. Two free, one for the phone LOL.
I completely agree. I don’t think I’ve dropped a phone more than 2-3 times in the last decade. I probably just jinxed myself by typing that 😉
