Competition has really intensified! Hundreds of case brands exist now but the most surprising part to me... The prices have taken a steep drop. For the first few iPhone models you'd easily expect to pay $25-$40 for a basic brand name case, $50-$70 for an ultra-durable case, $60-$80 for a metal design, etc. Of course profit margins were high on those. Now, every brand name case I've looked at thus far tops out at $25... With many as low as $5-$10.

I guess the Chinese no-brand cases are also a contributing factor. Cases have gotten cheap!
