The Most Expensive iPhone and iPad Cases in the World

Apple's New iPad Air Goes On Sale

Let’s face it – just about everyone you know owns an iPhone. There are some pretty awesome other mobile devices out there right now, but anyone who tries to tell you that iPhone isn’t dominating the game is clueless. If you’re like many, you went to your local mobile provider or an Apple store and dropped a few hundred dollars on an iPhone. Why stop there? How about spending a few hundred thousand on an iPhone case?

According to LuxuryLaunches, Italian luxury jewelry brand Buccellati has unveiled the world’s most expensive iPhone 5s case as well as the world’s most expensive iPad mini case. The cost – for the iPhone case you’re looking at $206,000 and for the iPad case – $481,000. The cases were unveiled at Baselworld, the world’s biggest watch and jewelry trade show in Basel, Switzerland. [Click the link to see the cases]

Both cases are engraved gold with diamond and gemstone cuffs. Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s solar illustrations, the cases are absolutely gorgeous. It’s something else altogether when we’re discussing an iPhone case that’s 200 times the cost of the actual phone. Like we said, it’s nice to look at, but if you buy this case you’re insane.
