Casetify is the Starbucks of phone cases: expensive, everywhere, and highly customizable. If your kid is asking for one, they’re looking for a way to signal their identity to their peers.

From a parent's perspective, the protection is actually quite good—these aren't just flimsy fashion covers. However, the price tag is steep for what is ultimately a piece of molded plastic. It’s a solid 'reward' gift or a way to let them take ownership of their first device, provided they understand that a $70 case doesn't make the phone invincible.
