$1000 Japanese Hand-Crafted iPhone Cases Anyone?
Posted by: admin / Category: GeneralGet invisibleSHIELD for the iPhone 3G
Would you pay $1000 for a hand-craft, culturally symbolic iPhone case?
Crunchgear says they’re intended “to show how Japanese warlords from the Sengoku period would probably use their iPhones if they lived today”:
The so-called JAPAN TEXTURE [JP] series consists of a total of five cases with different designs. Created under the supervision of a historian, SoftBank says each case is covered with special lacquer and gold dust. It takes three to four weeks to make one, which kind of explains the price.
Given the prices for lacquer bowls, tea sets, and other object d’art, maybe $1000 is no barrier? What say you?
