While it’s generally smarter to shop around a bit when looking for a protective case for your brand-new iPhone and choose a cheaper option from a third-party manufacturer over Apple’s often overpriced official accessories, there are also other ways to save some big bucks.
For a no doubt limited time, AT&T is offering a bunch of iPhone XS, iPhone X, and iPhone 8 Plus cases at lower than ever prices, beating even the most affordable third-party options out there.
Meanwhile, the nation’s second-largest wireless service provider has three color options of an official Apple leather case for the iPhone 8 Plus marked down from a whopping $49 to 5 bucks apiece, including black, brown, and red flavors.
There’s not a whole lot you need to know about these protective accessories before pulling the trigger, as they’re obviously designed to “fit snugly over the curves of your iPhone without adding bulk.”
The ones made from leather promise to develop a “natural patina over time”, feeling soft to the touch on the outside, with premium European materials in tow “specially tanned and finished” to add a splash of distinction to your iPhone aside from the expected degree of robustness.
The silicone option is as straightforward as you expect, typically fetching $39 as it looks slightly less distinguished while promising the same level of protection, minimal bulk, and seamless fit over the curves and buttons of your iPhone XS.

There’s no telling how long these shock deals might last, so it’s probably wise to take advantage of them as soon as possible. You get free online shipping from AT&T, mind you, or you can opt for free in-store pickup wherever possible.
