i love MLP but whoa, not THAT much!

$400 for a friggin phone case?!! Ok yea, THIS IS EPIC but who would pay that for a phone case?!

 

There are some really amazing things people have created and sell via etsy, and I am totally down to pay a little bit more to support a human being's creation, not a product of a corporation, but IT'S A PHONE CASE! it's not even a phone, it's the case for a phone!

 

Some people either have too much money than they can handle, or are too obsessed with MLP.

 

Anyone here ever spent a crazy amount of money as a fan? (or bought anything expensive on etsy at all)

This is crazy, but someone will buy it, I'm quite sure about that. Some people just don't know what to do with money.

Personally, I've never spent so much money on something so useless(OK, maybe not completely useless, but it isn't more useful than a regular phone case for $10).

I definitely wouldn't pay so much as for 1 dollar for that case. The pony on the back doesn't even look like the show's and it would be a burden to carry in your pocket.

damn that's expencive! I'd not buy that even if I had the money. It's not g4. I think there was a drawing of Twilight Sparkle that was sold for like $799 or something.

That is just bad looking.

 

Phone cases are too mainstream, I'm too lazy to even pay $30 for a good case from redbubble.

Someone will buy it... There are crazed fans for everything, and MLP isn't an exception.

 

I'll be honest though. I can't think of anybody who would go out in the streets using such a fat and flashy phone case like that. I mean, whoever buys it, better just keep it on his/her collection as an work of art rather than use it as something "normal". :|

That phone case just looks really tacky.

It looks bedazzled to DEATH! There is a point where you reach TOO MANY rhinestones!

Plus the added pony just looks... awkward. It just juts out of the side of the phone case? How do you put it in your pocket?

woah woah woah...

.

400 Dollars? are you kidding me? who would pay for a phone case that really doesn't look good with a G3 Pony?

Now if it was 15 dollars with a G4 Pony and actually looks like the Animation, then sure why not.. but not 3D.. It be on the back of the case with a implanted Animated picture of PinkiePie or RainbowDash either way.. 400 dollars is just way out of line.

No way!!! That will not be bought by me, first off... it's too much sparkle, second off... it wouldn't fit in my pocket, and third off.... it's 399 dollars!!! not to mention shipping. So no thanks, i'll stick to no phone case XD

Haha, perhaps there is the reasoning of supporting the artists, but even if that case was the new gen, and I was feeling very generous, I'd pay maybe $15 without shipping. Maybe. Even then, that's pushing it a lot being the tight wad I am. Sure, it's neat, it's novelty, but it isn't $400 of glory. It's absurd, obsessed people do crazy things, I suppose one could even call love an obsession with a person, to some extent. Ere go love makes us do crazy things. Basic psychology, the more strongly we feel the stranger things we do.

 

Ah, but what does this mean for artists? Art is a hard industry, but if an artist loves the show they can take advantage of a massive fanbase (that sounds way bad, it isn't though) and do what they enjoy while making a fair price. At the same time the enthusiastic customers get something unique. Often times the buyer gets an absolute bargain, but with fan bases the artist get's a little wiggle room with money, rather than the ramen-and-rice plan. Maybe I'm being a bit biased, but I really do think these crazy people are doing a great favor to the artistic world... Anyone who works independently has to work very hard, just how it normally is.

 

That said as nice as it is for the artist $400 is still absurd in my opinion. In the end though, whatever floats your boat, I guess. As long as they didn't actually mean to type "40" it's all good, one person walks away rich, the other gets what they want with a blazing passion. Even if that passion dies down you know they you won't regret "what if I really did want to get it?"

 

There's not much logical about the situation, pros and cons, but totally illogical. Just how people are. But it's the imperfections that really make us perfect. Obligatory complimentary image below.

Hm... Way too big, way too G3 ish. But come on, ponies, too much sparkle? There is never too much sparkle!

Makes me want to make myself a custom swarowski mosaic on my Iphone case. Wait, I don't have an Iphone case. Or an Iphone.

 

Anyway, once I get to make it, the pony won't even look like g4, more LIKE A G6 LIKE A G6 NANANANANANA

that pony is tottally a generation 3.5 model, the only reason I'd even consider buying it would be to burn it. with a flame thrower. in hell.

I would only pay 400$ for ponies if it was a mod that made Sirri on my Iphone have Fluttershys voice. And it had an animation whenever she spoke.... Someone please create this...

Wow I would never even think of spending a penny on that, the max i'd buy it for is 5 dollars, and it would be just to sell it on ebay or something lol.

But If you wanna see some GOOOD Iphone/ipod my little pony cases here's some (too bad they're like 35 dollars :( )

Why would anyone pay that much money for something so pointless...... Its not even a good phone case?..... It would be annoying as hell the carry around.... and it really doesnt even look good.... too flashy... too much glitter.... :huh: ... But alas.... some silly person out there with too much money and bad taste in phone cases is gonna buy it...... and im going to lose faith in something?.... yeah something... not sure what yet..... but.... something.... ;)

Part of is the case, yes... But if you notice, in the title for the item it says it's made with Swarovski crystals, which are very very good quality. The jewelry made with them in expensive, and the jewels alone are worth a lot. The person who made it had to BUY all those crystals, so they're compensating with a high price to try and balance out their expenses. That's kind of the way business works.

 

 

thats a gen 3.5 Rainbow Dash I do believe...

 

And I tihnk it's actually G3.5 Sweetie Belle... Rainbow Dash was an Earth Pony XD

i understand that, but in order to make it worth it in the first place you have to have a market for your work. and i can't imagine anyone who would want to buy that.

I'm not one for buying phone cases, but I did get a small tattoo of Rainbow Dash. It wasn't payed for, the guy knows my wife and is always wanting to do somethig new. So the offer came up for a free tattoo if he hasn't done it before.

 

Would I pay over 100 on any kind of pony merchandise? No, not really. Would I get it if I could? Yup =D

Gotta remember, every pony loves something, and they will do what they can to get it. If a person likes phone cases and MLP, they would more than likely get it =p
