Even includes a screen protector on a GBP16 item!

Not sure what it’s like in other countries, but here in South Africa you struggle to find a smart phone cover for much less than that.

If you’re at the shops of the local scumbag company with a monopoly on legally distributing Apple products, they don’t offer a cover for less than USD25.

Apple Watch covers cost a bit less at only like USD15.

For screen protectors typical prices are around USD10, but you can point out the lunacy of what they’re charging for a single sheet of plastic and you can get that down to 7.5.

It’s super annoying how much we get ripped off here, having covers and protectors is basically essential and all the sellers here seem to have a secret pact to not charge anything less than completely outrageous prices.

Order the stuff from china instead of paying your local distributor a convenience tax.

You can have it cheap or fast.

With shipping cost on an overall small item cost, it’s unlikely to be much cheaper.

We also have the problem here where if the shipper doesn’t use a courier service and tries to rely on the local postal service, it’s a bit of a gamble you’ll get the item at all, and if you do, it tends to take months.

		Takealot brother, or visit your closest shopping center, there will be a store there with a man of asian decent willing to sell you whatever you need at a reasonable price. Screen protector for R89 on takealot right now, that’s what 5 dollars? And was the first result, did not even need to look hard.
