The Japan Texture series of cases for the iPhone have me strangely enticed and repelled at the same time. They look awesome and are historically accurate, but I fail to see why anyone would want to buy a case that costs more than the actual phone. Plus it is covered in lacquer and gold dust, which would last about ten minutes in my pocket.
The series consists of five case designs and depict art of the Sengoku period and they come with a storage box in case you feel that it needs protecting. Apparently each of the handmade cases takes about three weeks to make.

$1,000 is steep, but when you think of these being completely hand-painted, incredibly detailed, and sprinkled with gold dust… the price does add up somehow. But would you really want a case that costs more than the phone it’s protecting? The case I got from uxsight.com is only $6 and it just works fine for me.
