iPhone Duo Case Costs 200,000 Won, Twice as Much as Samsung

“A case alone costs 200,000 won; it's way too expensive”
While Apple's first foldable phone, the 'iPhone Duo,' has been making headlines with a high starting price of 3.29 million won, it has been revealed that the dedicated case alone costs in the 200,000 won range.
This is approximately twice as expensive as Samsung Electronics' 'Galaxy Z Fold8' genuine case.
According to Apple on the 12th, the domestic price for the iPhone Duo kickstand case is 199,000 won. The basic iPhone Duo case without a kickstand is also 119,000 won.
While the price of the iPhone Duo itself is high, news that the case alone reaches the 200,000 won range has triggered a flood of customer complaints regarding Apple's pricing policy, with comments such as, “It's tacky. I wouldn't take it even if it were free,” and “Is anyone actually going to buy a case for that much money?”
Previously, Apple's eco-friendly iPhone case (FineWoven material case) also received harsh criticism as the "worst failure" due to its high price in the 90,000 won range and poor durability, such as susceptibility to scratches.
The price is excessively high even when compared to Samsung Electronics' foldable phones. Samsung's 'Galaxy Z Fold8' genuine cases start from 44,000 won, and cases with stand functions similar to the iPhone Duo are 110,000 won. This is 89,000 won cheaper than the 'iPhone Duo.'
