Why not spend some money to protect your precious iPhone? These luxury iPhone cases are made from carbon fiber, Tuscan leather, mahogany, ostrich skin, alligator skin and even gold embellished with diamonds and have prices ranging from $180 to over $100,000.
10. Ultra Case Luxury Edition Royal Crown – $179.99
The enormous, heart-shaped artificial crystal affixed to the back is this case’s claim to cost. It also features a stunning array of Swarovski crystals topped with a jeweled crown that will let everyone around you know who’s in charge. This case isn’t for anyone who values a slim case, however, as the decorations make the encased phone at least half again as deep as the phone itself.
9. SGP Ott-Paint Ultra Thin Limited Edition Gariz Case – $249.99
This case, created jointly by Gariz Design and United SGP Corporation, is beautifully painted with Ott, a special chemical paint that is not only flame retardant and heat resistant but also waterproof, mothproof, antiseptic and antibacterial. The case comes with a leather sleeve and protectors for both the screen and Apple logo. If you want one, though, you’d better hurry—only 50 of these premium, individually numbered cases will be produced.
8. Swarovski Wildcat
$299.99
Featuring Swarovski crystals arranged by hand in a leopard-spot pattern, each of these luxury iPhone cases is completely unique. The easily snapped-on case is supposed to be as protective as it is aesthetically pleasing, but Ultra Case doesn’t list the materials used to create the “crystal hard case.”
7. Orbino Strada
up to $319
There are other iPhone cases out there made of the “finest” Italian leather, but what makes the Strada unique is its patented belt clip/pedestal. Not only is this belt clip removable, it’s also made of palladium metal and it can even be used to prop up your iPhone so you can watch videos at your desk. After all, you probably don’t have any other viewing apparatus there. The Strada also features a screen protector and connector access. Oh, it’s also hand-stitched. That automatically makes it at least twice as good. The Strada starts at $99, but you can pay more to get one made from one of a variety of gentle woodland creatures—from ostriches ($249) to crocodiles ($319).
6. GlitterRing iPhone Cover – $379-$399
GlitterRing’s one- and two-piece iPhone cases come in a variety of designs. Whether you’re partial to “Puffy Pink” or “Golden Swirl,” you can get it slathered on your iPhone 3G or 3GS in the form of over 1,000 genuine Swarovski crystals. In case of damage, GlitterRing’s premium cases even include a repair kit with extra crystals.
5. iWood + Ryou – $454
Miniot’s iWood case has been upgraded at the hands of Ryou Co., Ltd. and Urushi lacquerer Seiichiro Fujino. The artist uses Chinese raw lacquer, clear lacquer, pigment and silver foil to turn one of Miniot’s already posh cherry iWood casts into true works of art.
4. Softbank BB Samurai iPhone cases
$1,000
Softbank BB is bringing the aesthetic appeal of traditional Japanese lacquerware to your iPhone. These five cases commemorate five famous samurai from Japan’s storied history—(from left to right) conquerer Oda Nobunaga; one-eyed warlord Date Masamune; tactician and “Dragon of Echigo,” Uesagi Kenshin; famed lover Naoe Kanetsugu and triumphant underdog Yukimura Sanada. The cases were created in collaboration with 350-year-old lacquerware company Zohiko and each design comes with a different cloth pouch.
3. Louis Vuitton iPhone cases
up to $1,120
Louis Vuitton is now offering four different flavors of iPhone case: Monogram Canvas, Taiga Leather, Epi Leather and Alligator Skin. Everyone knows adding the LV logo to something makes it practically priceless. But these prices range from $225 for the Monogram Canvas case to $1120 for the Alligator Skin case. Unfortunately, these costly cases commit the cardinal sin of covering the phone’s screen.
2. Diamond iPhone Case
$20,000
If you think buying a case worth fifty times the phone it carries makes perfect sense, then this is the case for you. With its 42 VVS1 diamonds (3.5 carats), it’s the most bling for your buck. That’s only $5,714 per carat. Great deal, huh?
1. GnG “Golden Delicious”
$100,000+
What is the most expensive iPhone case in the world? This extravagant case is the culmination of twelve months of development. The case features a 1mm subshell made with 140 grams of 18k gold, a carbon fiber inlay and about 200 diamonds. The outer frame features another 400 diamonds in the logo, which may be customized. As a customizable luxury item, however, prices may vary widely based on the materials needed.
Honorable Mention: exo2 Brass Engraved with Wood Insert – $150
Seen in an episode of Fox’s Fringe, “Brown Betty,” EXOvault’s metal iPhone cases are hand-made in Brooklyn, NY. Their latest and most expensive offering features a rosewood inset that provides better reception—and a more pleasing aesthetic—than the aluminum grills on their previous models. This particular model features a beautiful engraving above the insert’s dovetail joint. EXOvault also offers brass and aluminum cases for as low as $110.

it is odd how Louis Vuitton can get away with displaying their brand so prominently when it's might be gaudy with other brands.
the luxury case with gold and diamonds is a too flashy.
I got the Louis one it's lush
I think the last one,(the sparkly one) is corney, too much bling, and it is only an iphone case!!!! Dont spend that much on a stupid case!
O……..M…………G…….
that last one(1) is sofa king expensive iPhone case ever!!!!!!
its like not good though
it doenst look good just expensive..but thats just me
wtf it is so cheap to me i am rich
U can spend a 100,000 on a case 200 times more then IPhone
omg its just a case ppl!
im ording one now
Get over it, i like cases
i have the Louis Vuitton one, monogram style. its nice but it dosent cover the top of the phone, it sticks out a tad. well now its sitting in my drawer because it dont fit the new 3G one =/
i think that iphones are ol an that people have to buy new phones every year beause of how there old in society. i for one think that kids drive there parents crazy by asking them for newer phones!
the last one with dimonds i only have one thing to say:
like those diamond not gonna fall off!
and when u notice its like , ooops i just lost some thousands of dollar!
redicolous
but i wouldn't mind get one in present
ohh hush
I had the Sena MagnetFlipper but just replaced it with a handmade leather pouch called the SuperSlim from ikonicedge.
I was really after something like the ikonicedge as its got a minimalist while still very protective look which is something I had a problem finding.
My gosh. People really need to get over themselves.
We love the diamond iPhone case…
but where the hell do we pick one up?
you know I have every one of those Iphone cases my dad said it was fine that I spend that much money on those cases he didn't care. you would all probably die to get one.
Lol! So true! Now they just need to make a Burberry one!
I would protect the case (1) ,not my iPhone.
Yes, the cover must be protected first
why wud u protect the case its just like 10 thoousand at the least. i spend wayy more then that onthe belt im wearing, god ppl u need to get a life and stop complaiing about stuff that doesnt concern u cuz if u cant afford this stuff dont even look at it cuz if u cant make anuf muney to get them u dont deserv to even dream tht u were like me.
that is crazy expinsive!!!!!!!!
I love the wooden case, does anyone own that case?
There's someone who commented below who says he has the wooden case.
I think I’ll stick with the regular priced iphone cases
GOLD? REALLY? I MEAN COME AWN! I KNOW IF YOU LOVE YOUR iPHONE YOU WOULD GET ONE, BUT REALLY? WHO WOULD PAY $1,000,000 FOR A CASE FOR A PHONE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO END UP HATING IN A WEEK? NOT ME. (OKAY ME)
my daddy paid that much for my phone case. its one of the best things ive ever gotten i love all the diamonds on it:) if they fall off just get them replaced. my diamonds havent fallen off though. My daddy gets me those kinds of cases all the time diamonds are no big deal
They r all so freeking ugly. Pink n simple.
which one I should protect, iphone or case? so crazy!
I have the Miniot iWood case and it is very sleek and beautiful.
That is sick
The last one!
These seem a little beyond what that avg iphone owner would buy….curious, whats the most that you would pay for an iphone case? Ive seen them as low as a $1, and as high as $20K (according the blog)…
as an owner, I think everyone will own one for the added protection.
That diamond case is awesome but its price is incredible… It is the most luxurious one I have ever seen. Would you pay $20,000 for a damn iPhone case? I won’t. I will still adhere to those cheap yet stylish cases. The case I got from http://www.uxsight.com/category/86534/iphone-cases.html only cost me $6 but it works fine.
with that money i get me 50 iphones if one got an scratch on it i throw it away
my daddy just got me the "golden delicious" and the diamond iphone case for my birthday last week! i absoultly love them, everyone at my school is sooo jealous and would killl to have these cases(:
some of those cases are more expensive than the iphone itself
OMG I Think I would need to buy a case to protect my expensive case.
through I should bring up the link http://www.droconcepts.com I got one of their cases and LOVE IT. Thank most-expensive.net
iWood are pretty cool too!
my daddy got me the the leopard case but when it was on my iphone i didnt like it so daddy got me the golden delicious !!! :p
some people need to get over themelves iphones arent even that good. tbh my phone is better then them. it works better and my dad has a iphone it freezes all the time and the battery is rubbish. meh. get a newer phone. whoever buys one of these cases is crazy!!
It does not make sense to buy a case that’s worth more than the iphone.
Unless the iphone cost $500.000….LOL.
No wait… that phone is not out yet.
Wait another 25 years.
I bought an apple branded case from china it cost $5.00 including postage, i had more protection with that than any other case with my iphone.
What does Lous Vitton know about iphones anyway..u people buying expensive looking materialistic cases. i really dont look at them and no-on else does. Ur all idiots for spending more than $20 on a case.
hmm, someone can hook me up with some money if they want to just throw it away, come on now a hundard thousand? for real? must be nice to have nice things…i work my ass off and all i get is a empty bank account…good luck ya’all..and good spending!
why would you buy these?? It just gives your phone a greater chance to want to be stolen. Wake up people DON’T wast your moner i thought we were in a resession
sorry “money”
who are you kaiytlynne?? My daddy would “have a spell” if i ever serousily asked him for one
Heck,
to the one that said the iphone would have to be worth more to cover it in diamonds, I have a custom made iphone that I paid close to $50,000 for so to cover it in an expensive case makes sense. My iphone is a prototype that I designed. It starts my car, and operates all my computer driven home. The case on my custom iphone is made of titanium outer shell and is complimented well with the gold and diamond case. Its all about flash and showing you have the money and arent afraid to spend it. For those that are making fun of the cost, you are just jealous that you cant afford these cases.
There are Swarovksi Crystal iphone case at luxaddiction.com . They offer much better looking iphone cover than these.
I think it’s funny how most of these people just put “my daddy”. in front of their post. Hilarious as a matter of fact
what ever.i like the one with the leopard.the rest are cheesy and UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no, i do think i will pay for more on the case, i’d like to make my iphone to be a perfect one.
i heart my iPhone 3GS and these cases are really nice. I like the Vaja and Samurai personally but I think my Fantaskin Crystal Chic is by far much better in design and value for money. Like c’mon how can anyone afford any of these, except maybe the Vaja. Seriously check out novoskins.com for the most UNIQUE AND CHIC CRYSTAL SKINS
Here we go. The price to pay for civilization. or is it?
How I wish i can have one of those!
i do think the the iwood is pretty cool but diamonds?? i’m cool with my iphone case from http://www.backflipcase.com it’s gotta kickstand and under $30.00
and im only ten
my dad just got me the iphone 3G and the golden delicious
even if I had the money I wouldn't buy one of these things they're all ugly. I get my iPhone cases for about a dollar in china when I go on vacation there or my dad goes over for work and they work just fine. people should be doing better things with their money if they have it than spend 20 grand on a case, that's foolish.
Why would some one pay 200,000 bucks just on a iphone case!
i own an iphone 3gs 16gb, and a capsule rebel case. i think that the cases above are all about price tags. they dont even look good! wake up ppl! doesnt mean it has LV on it, it looks good! and how culd u waste money on those kinds of stuff when u know 4 a fact that thousands of ppl are dying of poverty?
peace out.
I didn’t realize crocodiles and ostriches were considered gentle OR woodland.
i think it is stupid to by a case for more money than your ipod that is crazy
I like
and want
when i am 30 years old
Your kidding me right? Some of the designs are… I am sorry someone should slap you hard who ever designed, VVS1 diamonds (3.5 carats) Louis Vuitton iPhone cases, Swarovski Wildcat. My eyes are bleeding change it. Unless there is an Iphone case that turns into IRON MAN SUIT. I’d buy that suit instead for a million dollars and then crush your hands so you may never design another iphone case or those ugly bags ever again.
Haha! best comment i've read lol!
i like it,very much
Why would you pay for a case thats more expensive that the phone itself?! If you are paying $100,000 might as well get a custom designed phone :p
i can help you custom designed your phone, and with a exciting price. Make a phone case only for you, and you can not find it in elsewhere around the world.
DANG!!!! That last one is off the hook but $100,000…??thats just stupid cuz you know that in a year or two theyll come out with a better phone and the case wont fit it. But like I said it’s nice and all but it’s stupid cuz you’ll end up scratching the case then that means that you have to buy a case for your case know wat im saying.
Are you kidding me!!! $100,000.00 for an i-phone case??? Those that just want to throw money down the drain and are so self absorbed, why dont you instead donate that kind of money to the Haiti Relief Fund or something and help those in need!!!
wat i lov it but the money
my daddy bought me this..my daddy bought me that…
he bought me a bugatti veyron where i keep my iphone..
some of you people need to stop braggin about some stupid cases which you probs dont own anyways.
My daddy bought me the GnG Golden Delicious
so had to get one that cost £5 from e.bay
and i got mugged
#4 seems like the best one to get in terms of price (slightly expensive) style and effort. $1k for a paintjob done by a 350 year old mastered-paint company, and the designs are sweet, and they tell a story.
In the other hand the Louis Vitton one is completely bull poop because I’ve seen one at the market for $1.99. Look at the design, from original too a copy makes no difference at all.
Basically, some of them are so expensive you will be caring more about the case than the actual iphone.
Urgh, I hate to pick a fight with a 10-year-old but I’m about 100% sure that no daddy of yours forked out $100k for a bloody iphone case, and if they did I’m pretty sure none of your friends are jealous, I’m sure they would much prefer some tacky pink plastic iphone case you can get for $6 off of ebay.
I prefer handmade stuff.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/evaszellak
I would definitely go for the glitterring one. If I won the lottery I would come to this website and become skint in a matter of seconds..lol
Are these available for iPad?
John, check out our list of the Top 4 Luxury iPad Cases.
They all are very cool, but the only reason Anybody would get these cases is to show off their money.
i prefer a plastic case then all these.if i have much money then i want to spent it on poor and needy people.am not crazy for that cases
Uhmm.. These cases cost more then the iphone its self.
for the price of the case you could get 4 to 5 extra phones to break and have in an emergency and plus it will be new… lol
Very Nice!
But look
luxury iphone by art-studio mj
this is real luxury
Only the best dahlink!!!!!!
I think that prices are expensive.
Omg, srsly…………….what is the point of these…….its not like anyone will see them! Only if you take out the phone to "Text". Im not jealous, i'm glad i don't have one! I saaw a simple, black and white polka dot one with a pink strip across it, lika ribbon. I really loved it. It was a cheap one, (not oober cheap) and it was awesome. As long as you like it it doesn't matter. I't is supposed to protect ur phone, not give it a bigger chance to get stolen!!!!!
Wow, those are really expensive! Who would ever want to spend so much money on a iPhone case?
Well,just the case, but I got one with whole Swarovski diamond ,that's very similar to above one . I really like it . If anyone want get one, just go this website: http://www.king-phone.com.... whatever….
The Louis vutton one was a joke , just a regular pouch and it’s freaking over one grand , crazy . People who actually buys are just really brainless .
that’s really lux and expensive, i can’t buy them all
after buying that case there would be no more money for an iphone
and with 140gms of gold + the weight of the other materials it puts the fone up near 300gms when encased LOL ud need a shoulder strap to cart it round all day, and if it hits the dust at all bye bye case and screen in 1 drop.. FAIL !
