22 carat gold, 190 diamonds, and a cool $3.2 million dollars for this designer Stuart Hughes iPhone case. We're just wondering if that includes ring, necklace, and earring mounts?

What do you think, ultimate iBling Blang or just gauche iDang?

    They r out of their mind!

  2. Uuuuhh says:

    It doesn't make sense for the protection to cost 5000 times more than the thing it's protecting

  3. Jeremy says:

    Stupid!

  4. Liz says:

    I hate people.

  5. iphoneduke says:

    retarded

  6. Graztd says:

    Pfft tacky yellow metal epic l0se!!!!!!!

  7. Bob says:

    Gold about 2000 an once, diamonds about 2000 a piece if thier really high quality, they don't look big. How do we get into the millions? At least an order of magnitude off there skippy. Fail.

  8. jake says:

    umm where can we get it?

  9. KP says:

    I'm not sure it's the best investment to blow a couple million on a case, and then find out in six months that the next iPhone doesn't fit it. I mean I appreciate that the 3GS still fit into the $25 case I bought for my 3G, but I'm not assuming the next one will.

  10. Ansar says:

    Lol, people are dying of food and t**ts are making cases which totally lost case. £400 iphone 3.2m for the, lololololol

    dumbness of the year. Lol

  11. whsingleton says:

    Actually, it is only worth 3.2 million if someone is willing to pay that amount. Since I'm willing to pay exactly $0.00, this is actually worthless.

  12. Craig says:

    Just ordered two incase one gets scratched

  13. PB says:

    hahah @ Craig & UHHhhh

  14. Gregg says:

    Some people get bad enough reception. Like they need that to make it worse. Looks like hammered dog shit anyway. Probably weighs 3 pounds

  15. B3gin says:

    Just glad I'm divorced that b***H would have started taking kiddneys from me in my sleep for black market sale to get somthing like that.

  16. Shotgun to the Face says:

    Is that a full housing? Cause I don't see a seam in that thing.

  17. RON JEREMY says:

    RON JEREMY SAYS the last P. O. S. of the year. People not only all over the world but here in the sates are going hungry and someone comes up with this shiate. RON JEREMY says anybody who buys this is a douche.b. a. g to the thousanth degree.

  18. d.allen says:

    thats an awefully big 7.2 single cut diamond for the home button.. that would cost a pretty penny.. which makes the price more understandable.. but anyone willing to buy this, should really reconsider their priorities.

  19. scottb says:

    The same liberal douche-bags that tell everyone to drive metroexual Priuses and use fluorescent bulbs will be the ones buying this disgusting POS. Can't wait to read of one of them losing an arm to some thug (illegally in the US) when they steal it. Classic.

  20. StayThirstyMyFriends says:

    In for 1...Just put mine on lay away!! ;)

  21. SpiceRak2 says:

    I think the designer is brilliant; he knows that some wealthy people will buy anything.

    I think the potential buyer, if not the typical nuvo-riche with no financial wisdom, will be one who believes the piece is an hommage to the Apple brand and it's influence on modern culture and society. The nuvo-riche will use it at every trendy social event, the other will vault it.

    Either way, it's a ridiculous purchase.

  22. Pn2bade says:

    Dang I bet that thing weighs a ton! Imagine carrying that in your pocket.

  23. Rick says:

    It's a replacement housing, not a case that goes over the existing housing. Very crazy (but kinda cool).

  24. Kaiks says:

    I'm gonna make knock-off versions and sell them for the small sum of $32k. Production will start as soon as I get 10 pre-orders, if anyone is interested, leave your credit card details below.

    ;-P

  25. JB in Dallas says:

    The only people ridiculous enough to buy one of these are rappers and pro athletes.

  26. Tom says:

    it's quite charming.

  27. chole says:

    a swarovski crystal case from iPhone CAZE gives the same look and feel. http://www.iphonecaze.com
