These iPhone cases are more expensive than the iPhones inside them

Would you pay $259 for this House of Crystal My Little iPony iPhone case?

It’s hard to imagine paying more for a phone case than you would for an actual phone, but it could happen. An iPhone, which starts at about $199.00, is cheaper than all of the cases you’re about to see here.
Ranging from brand names to fashion faux pas to the utterly ridiculous — solid gold and diamonds! — these iPhone cases are among the most expensive in the world.
We’ve arranged them in order of escalating price.
