What do you do with old cases?

[royinla14]

I have several cases for my XS, in great condition. What do you normally do with your 'old' cases?

Either try to sell them or just try to find someone who has the same phone who wants it.

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.

You can re sell them but they’re not going to yield much cash back.

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.
