While iPhones are arguably the most popular phone, many of us like to try and stand out from the crowd with trendy and creative cases.
This is the case (no pun intended) with many celebs, however, fans have been left stunned after learning that Kylie Jenner's 24k gold phone case - the same as one owned by her older half-sister Khloe Kardashian - carries an eye-watering price tag...
Made by Gold Concept, the luxurious custom case could set you back around $600 - if you're game enough to spend that much on one.
The company is known for its high-end and pricey items - including the world's most expensive Apple Watch case, which is encrusted with over 400 diamonds and made from aerospace-grade titanium. This all comes to a total of $15,000... No biggie!
According to the brand's CEO Puia Shamsossadati - who is based in Malmö, Sweden - the company has reportedly had a few "unusual" requests over the years. In fact, Shamsossadati told the Daily Mail that one person had even asked for an iPhone case that depicted the Hindu deity Ganesha in solid gold and encrusted completely in diamonds. This apparently cost him an eyewatering almost $250,000.
One of their most important products are some customized Air Jordan 1 sneakers, which have allegedly been sported by numerous high-profile celebrities like Eminem, Travis Scott, and Drake. "Our Customized Air Jordan 1 Mid sneakers are inspired by the first AJ1. Our design team have carefully replaced the Nike swoosh with a crocodile embossed leather in red, yellow, blue or green," the website states.
"We've then added our signature gold details, for a true luxury edition of one of the greatest sneakers of all time. This range of Air Jordans will be limited to 85 pieces in each color - each one with its unique number and date of production stamped on the GC hangtag on the side of the left shoe. You can personalize the sneakers even further, by adding your initials on the leather tag at the back of the shoes," they add.
Gold Concept also boasts other iPhone case designs, including a gold limited edition tiger case, featuring the face of a tiger engraved onto Thin-PLY carbon composite - "a material 200 times stronger than steel, exceptionally light, and far more durable than traditional carbon fiber due to the structure’s remarkable surface-volume ratio."
Shamsossadati says that the tiger is an important symbol and something that he wanted to showcase on the case. "Tigers are an animal of great significance in many world cultures: in Chinese mythology, they are often portrayed as guardian spirits, and still today are symbols of strength and courage as well as good fortune; in India, tigers are revered for their grace, beauty, and power, and the creature has sacred aspects within Hinduism and Buddhism.
"The Siberian tigers that once roamed from Russia to Korea have been considered protectors, friends, and even deities by the people who encountered them. We wanted to pay tribute to this incredible animal, and we feel that the virtues it stands for will resonate with many of our customers, who themselves are from many different places and cultures," he added.
Well, if anyone has a spare couple of thousand dollars lying around, hit me up!
