I have several cases for my XS, in great condition. What do you normally do with your 'old' cases?
 
I guess that is my question - I was not sure if there is a market for these. I paid over $100 and seems such a waste not to do anything without it
I agree, I find it hard to sell them because everyone else is doing so, and I'm not sure if I'd bother selling cases. I kept mine for the 6s.

When I've sold my old phones... the cases go with the phones. The other ones are sitting in a cupboard, sadly. Need to just throw them out (or give them away).

It does seem a waste that the cases never fit the new phones :(

At least in my case (ha ha... no pun intended!) I'm a one case kind of gurl..... I get one and it stays on the phone for the year.... too expensive to buy multiples and change them out like I do my watch bands since you do only get one "season" out of the cases if you are a yearly upgrader.

Im sure there is a market, I just don’t expect to get much for them if anything at all lol.
 
My parents usually get a previous generation's phone since they don't know the difference in terms of what's new and hot. In a couple of years, they'll eventually upgrade their current iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 7 to a XS Max, so I'll give them some of my cases.

(I wonder if I'll still be using the XS Max myself by then...)
 
I'm selling mine (Mophie battery pack + wireless charger) for my 7+ as a bundle on eBay.

Should see around $300 total ???

Not too bad considering I am paying $700 for the iPhone 11 in monthly payments thanks to Citizen's One.
 
I have one Apple case I used twice maybe. I also have a smart battery case and looking on ebay so did a lot of other people. I don’t know why I bought 4 cases this year.
