The title of this post might make sense in some cases. We know that there are accessories of all kinds on the market for our smartphones. Bluetooth sound equipment that serve to set the whole house, and that can be used from several different devices. OR tele-objectives that turn our mobiles into professional photo or video cameras.
It can be understood that something that makes our device more useful can be expensive. Some headphones, for example, there are many prices. But if we want to opt for the best in the market, or the most exclusive, we will have to pay almost the same as the phone itself costs.
Does it make sense to pay more for an accessory than for a mobile?
The controversy arises when the accessory to "pay" does not suppose an implement of the qualities of the telephone. If, for example, we acquire a drone that is operated with the smartphone, we will be giving our device other uses. And making with the joint use of another device, our mobile has greater profits.
However What if the accessory is just a simple mobile phone case?. A case that does not serve to charge your phone. And it will not protect you too much against a blow or fall. But yes, it is a case that an exclusive designer has created so that your mobile phone looks like no other.
Well, that's right, there is on the market, even if it seems a joke, a whole range of smartphone cases created by the big haute couture firms. Cases with prices close to what a high-end smartphone costs. Even at prices well above these. We can find, for example, a cover from the glamorous firm Louis Vuitton at the "modest" price of 800 euros. Are we going crazy? It seems.
When these types of products appear on the market, they are clearly aimed at a very specific audience. And it is clear that When these types of accessories exist, it is because there is also a sector of consumers who demand them. People who do not buy the latest smartphone model thinking about the processor it has. And they acquire gold-plated, crocodile skin, or gemstone inserts.
In short, these covers will not make your mobile faster when browsing. Neither will these cases make the battery last longer, or the coverage better. Would you spend 800 euros on a smartphone case even if you had money to spare?. Even with a fortune at our disposal it might seem crazy. For tastes colors.
