The Ultimate iPhone Accessories
by Oana Pelineagra | May 11, 2009
Accessories, apart from being useful, have a secondary, but also important purpose - to make something or someone stand out in a crowd. Some iPhone accessories have only this specific purpose – to embellish. Nowadays, we can find online a multitude of iPhone accessories starting with the ones encrusted with diamonds, crystals, accessories in eccentric colors, limited editions accessories and ending up with the personalized accessories. The ones who crave such “one of a kind” items must pay sometimes up to $41.000 for the uniqueness of their iPhone.
 An accessible solution is to personalize the iPhone by coloring it. At ColorWare one can choose from 15 different colors and from 20 metallic colors to embellish the back, frame, button, SIM card tray and also the earbuds. Depending on the color options and personal preferences one can pay up to $250 if he sends his own iPhone to be personalized or up to 1000$ if he wants to buy a new personalized gadget.
From the limited editions series there are worthy to be mentioned the cases from Deal Sniper – an online store from U.K. The elegant Voguish series – which is a hard case, can be bought for approximately $20 and the colorful Darius series – which are titanium-plated cases in delicious colors such as rose, silver, gold green and blue are sold for $30 each.
When it comes to precious accessories we refer to those accessories which are encrusted with Swarovski crystals, or covered in diamonds, or made of silver and gold.
On Mean Pod I found some sparkling accessories for the iPhone such as: Swarovski Crystals Apple iPhone Case – at a price starting from 200$ and Swarovski Crystals Earphones for 40$. A more affordable option are the Swarovski phone charms which can be found online at a price starting from 10$.
  More extravagant options are the Solid Gold iPhone – made form 22 carat solid gold available for $30.000 and the luxurious Diamond iPhone – set in 18 carat white or yellow gold and embellished with 420 diamonds and with white, black or pink sapphires, at a mere price of $41.000. Also a platinum iPhone limited edition, entitled the “Apple iPhone Platinum Edition", was released in 2008 at a price of $2230. A truly one of a kind iPhone is the Rose Gold iPhone, made from 18 carat rose gold and available exclusively at Goldstriker at a price of almost $2300.
The iPhone accessories are numerous and are forming a real industry, ready to satisfy any taste and desire, at any price. Even the uniqueness of an iPhone is available (online) and is for sale, but this time at a very high price.
