They usually sell with pre-cut replacement cases in fancy colors.

Yeah, but that would mean using an aftermarket case. Some people just want the original non-augmented experience, with all the quirks (also I doubt an IPS mod + case could be any cheaper than just getting an AGS-101).

IPS mods have come down a lot in price and AGS-101s have soared in the aftermarket. American stores sell kits for $50 USD, Chinese-sourced kits are a little cheaper. Add a new case and LCD glass for around $10. A quick eBay search for AGS-101s shows they're going for well over $100.

AGS-101 are so expensive nowadays that yes, it's cheaper to buy a regular SP + new case + IPS screen.
