How can it take 3 to 4 weeks to make a single iPhone case? What do they do with the rest of their time? And at $1,000 a piece too!

Instead of wasting a grand for this, why not just go to a customization shop n get ur iPhone custom painted. A lot cheaper by the dozen

Paper or plastic?? Neither..looks like high class corrugation to me. Or maybe its the ivory of an elephant.

Honestly. Japan and High Tech are a myth. Been here 27 yrs. Gagets up the yin/yang. So what! No wifi anywhere and if you are lucky enough to find a signal it isn’t free. Sure the iPhone made it here, but Softbank? Third rate network! No locals will be buying the cases either. Samurai. Who gives a crap!

Ther is a case for the case. I read about it on another site. The 2nd design looks pretty cool.

"lacquer bowls, tea sets, and other object d’art" are timelessly useful and beautiful.

the case here becomes 'out of date' the moment apple changes the form factor on their newest iphone release.

Man that’s sick! But the case cost more than the phone! Instead of having the case to protect the phone I’d have to find a phone to protect the case!

Yeah if I had the funds but with a thousand dollar case I would get another case for my case. Wouldn’t want to drop my iPhone case.

Awesome looking, but way out of my price range. If I had the money I’d totally sport one.

It’s interesting that Japan has even accepted the iPhone and iPods imo. When I was there, they had much more capable devices and streaming live TVs and such and made most of teh other countries look stone age.

No thanks. They’re probably made from slaughtered whales and dolphins.

I’d definitely get a case if I had those kind of funds to burn, but you would think for a $1000 you could design your own and not just be limited to 5 designs…
