When a Phone Case Costs More Than a House
Your phone case is probably a $20 piece of silicone—functional, forgettable. But for the ultra-rich, even the simplest accessories must scream luxury, exclusivity, and jaw-dropping extravagance. Imagine a phone case so opulent it’s insured like fine jewelry, crafted with rare diamonds, gold, and even bulletproof materials.
From $1 million diamond-encrusted armor to cases made from meteorite fragments, these aren’t just accessories—they’re wearable status symbols. Below, we unveil the most expensive smartphone cases in the world, where craftsmanship meets absurdity.

- 18K white or rose gold body, handcrafted by master jewelers
- Customizable with rare gemstones (sapphires, emeralds, or rubies)

Celebrity Connection: Floyd Mayweather reportedly owns one—because a $10M watch wasn’t enough bling.
