$96,900 Makes Your iPhone Look Snazzy
It's a $96,900 "wallet" to carry your gold-plated iPhone.
Does your iPhone look tired and boring? Does it need a little jazz to give it that extra sparkle, that brilliant gleam it once had when you ripped it out of the box? Now thanks to designer Davide De Nizza of Milan—along with artist Stuart Hughes of Liverpool—that weary iPhone can be rejuvenated to its youthful look with the iPhone Tamara Runge Edition, a $96,900 iPhone case that will surely have the neighbors talking.
There's no question that this iPhone “wallet” is bling bling to the extreme. The hand-crafted case is made with 40-percent python bianco roccia, 20-percent croco slow brown, and an added 40-percent nubuck on the inside. The case also sports an 18-carat gold buckle (weighing 46 grams) and a perimeter of 35 0.50-carat diamonds. To top it all off, there's a “signature” 3-carat single cut diamond planted firmly in the center of the buckle.
LuxuryLaunches reports that there are only three variations of this design, costing the same $96,900 pricetag each. As this case comes straight from the same maker as the world's most expensive iPhone and the solid gold PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii consoles, we're betting this designer case would be ideal for the Apple device. For more interesting devices with out-of-the-world prices, go see what Stuart Hughes has to offer.
Of course, if that's too much bling for your iPhone, you could always settle on the Hello Kitty Crystal iPhone Case as seen here, costing a mere $195 instead.

Talk about expenditures that fall in the "black" category. Things that nobody needs....

What are you talking about? I need this. How else will Paris Hilton be my BFF?
Paris Hilton is so last decade.
WTF I can't get python bianco roccia boot's in the states, but I can order it for my Iphone.... Something is wrong here.
Why does it seem that Mr. Parrish writes articles about trendy must-have products for rich d-bags and Jane writes about porn?
Crap, I better start saving, this cover will cost $550,000 for my iPad! They've got to match you know!
This just makes it that much easier to pick out the douchebags

Because Parrish is a douche.......and Jane is just awesome.

I agree and does he really think its a good idea to buy a hello kitty case for an also whopping $195.
That's not even a good joke.
Sorry to say, but I shake my head when I read these kind of stuff on here (can't even write "news" because it's clearly not that) and yet when I repeatedly appealed to TH to cover the story of how broadband competition in Canada was being elliminated by the CRTC it got absolutely no mention. Hmmm...legalizing a monopoloy 100% related to technology vs a pointless "gadged" for 0.5% of the population. Great news Kevin!
Waste of money. Looks like a sick old snake.

Not true...
They're just in the Hamptons this weekend.
Just another example of conspicuous consumption.
Wait, only three designs? What am I supposed to do the other 4 days of the week? Wear the same cover? Are you serious?
I think the people who get this should get tax breaks so that they can continuing buying outrageously expensive junk like this. That way they will simulate the chines economy by hiring more chines to sew more of these together. While the CEO gets richer thus our country comes out of this recession faster. At least the CEO dose.
For $50 I will spray paint your iFone gold and send you a handcrafted carrying case using an old KSwiss tennis shoe I found in an alley and a stapler
