Why should you buy an iPhone case that costs more than an iPhone?

Because, according to this unfortunate Case-Mate employee , the company's new Premium Metal casehas that "lay-on-the-table design that everyone's looking for." So you'd have that going for you. Which is nice. I mean, man, don't you hate it when you lay your iPhone flat on a table and it starts spontaneously hurtling toward the edge, or bouncing six to eight feet in the air like a Superball? Iknow, me too.
Plus, and he doesn't say this but should have, it also has innovative Poke-Through Spatiality for buttons and switches, and Case-Mate's proprietary Invisibilia 6000 Not-There Non-Protecto Coating™. Other reasons? Like you need them? What are you, nuts? "Well," the poor sap says wanly, "why I think you should get a titanium case is because," and right here his eyes flick in a panicky way toward the heavens, as if he's saying God, please render me the sweet release of death so I don't have to finish this insane rat-trap of a thought, "it's made of titanium. I mean, that's pretty... that's pretty much all you gotta say."
Bingo! On the nose! That's pretty much all you gotta say! So now how much would you pay? Answer: $300, available for purchase on Monday.
