It’s pretty crazy how much Apple gets away with charging for iPhone cases that don’t even really offer any protection. They might keep the back of your phone from getting scuffed in a pocket or a purse, but one short drop and your phone is probably toast. There are plenty of more rugged options out there that actually offer protection from drops, and you’ll be shocked at how affordable some of them are. Here’s a perfect example: The ULAK iPhone 6 / 6S Shock Absorbing Hybrid Rugged Case costs just $5 on Amazon with free Prime shipping.
