Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hello everyone, so I thought I would just start a bit of an interesting discussion. That I have not really seen discussed on this community.
How many of you actually buy a phone case directly from the Apple Store, versus a third-party case from Amazon for example? If you do buy one directly from Apple, what are some of your reasons for it. Versus why you would choose to buy a case on Amazon from a different company.
I find that I do really like Apple’s silicone case in particular. Although, my only gripe with that case, is the fact that the camera plateau is left exposed.
I am interested to see how people answer this.

I have only ever purchased a case directly from Apple twice in all of the time I have been using an iPhone, which has been nearly a decade and a half. Personally, I prefer the.. Spigen.. brand cases.

Just a personal preference. 🀷

I'm also clumsy so apples minimalistic philosophy when it comes to cases and the like would result in extreme pain for both me and the phone. I got this esr case for my phone a couple years back. Still hasn't broken on me, though the adhesive came off on the built in screen protector. No matter, it's still clamped onto the phone because of how it's designed.
