Noreve’s diamond leather case is more expensive than your iPhone 3G

Section: iPhone + Communications, iPhone Accessories, iPhoneIf you love your iPhone 3G so much that you are willing to spend more to get a cool-looking leather case than what you paid for the unit itself, then Noreve’s iPhone leather case might be your thing. Thanks to diamond ornaments embedded on an expensive leather material, the Noreve will set you back no more than $15K a piece. What makes this leather case ultra-expensive are its 6.8K diamonds between 18 to 22 points of VS1 quality and G color. With such an expensive leather case, you would expect it to fully accomadate all of the iPhone’s stock form. Unfortunately this leather case just lets you slip your iPhone inside the case. This leather case is available in 15 different colors, and is said to feature 272 pieces of diamonds. The case does not come with a belt clip, but at this price, who would want to slip it onto a belt, anyway? So, does your iPhone deserve an expensive case such as this one from Novere?

Back in September 2002, an iLounge contributing editor described…

iPhone case mod with LED logo

Back in February, we posted a link to a beautiful iPhone case mod that used a matte black TiAIN finish. iPhoneclub community member Jo Croiman has gone in the opposite direction, creating a polished metal beauty complete with LED logo.The Psycho iPhone Mod, as he calls it, is the result of manufacturing his own rear case pieces, polishing them for hours with a Dremel and affixing LEDs -- taken from another dead iPhone -- underneath a plexiglass logo (the LEDs only pull an additional 50mAh from the battery).Finally, he sandblasted his own logo into the back of the case. We think it looks fantastic! Great work, Jo.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
