There's the Swarovski-fied iPhone pouch that Mercedes intro'd during Berlin Fashion Week. Then the "I Am Rich" app came along, soon to be removed by Apple but not before eight eager customers added the illuminating ruby application to their cells. Now, in an attempt to outdo the most luxurious (or at least ostentatious) iPhone accessories, Noreve brings us its hand-crafted leather case adorned with 272 diamonds. That's a whopping 6.8 carats of bling for your 3G. The French company based in St. Tropez has crafted glittering iPhone cases in colors ranging from black to red to a vintage shade of sand.
The latest hot iPhone application that has caught everyone's attention is the "I Am Rich" app by developer Armin Heinrich. The app costs $999.99 and displays a glowing ruby-like light. and the words I Am Rich. Open it and it will load which Heinrich calls a secret mantra that may help you you to "stay rich, healthy, and successful." Ridiculous? Certainly, but rather clever too and subtler than having Amosu hook you up with a diamond or gold-covered iPhone.
3G iPhone, check. Mercedes GLK, check. How to merge the two? Enter a new exclusive "pouch" (more like a Birkin for your cell phone), crafted from white napa leather and glittering in Swarovski crystals to stash your phone. Currently even trickier to come by than an iPhone last Friday, the pouch has been released in a group of just 40 limited editions to be raffled off during this week's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin. But they'll come to market in October 2008, along with the GLK, the "compact SUV" (oxymoron, anyone?) that made its stylish debut driving Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall to her first Berlin fashion show.Gallery: iPhone Pouch Premieres At Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin

Just about every gadget follower could have predicted this one, the diamond Apple iPhone. As soon as we saw the gold iPhone we knew it was only a matter of time. It's also not much of a surprise that the phone comes from Amosu, a company famed for their love of covering gadgets in gold and diamonds. The diamond iPhone has 420 diamonds, a total weight of 5.65 carats set in 18K white or yellow gold. it can also be ordered in white, black or pink sapphires. The gadget will be available in November for $41,225.
In case just having an iPhone isn't good enough of a statement for you, soon you'll be able to have an iPhone plated in 24 carat gold. I'm not going to say it looks bad, because it doesn't (it is an iPhone, after all!), but I will say the concept is a little over the top and a bit ridiculous -- especially once people realize it is in fact real gold. 
As our friends at The Unofficial Apple Weblog have reported Apple unveiled their latest iPhone and iPod models which included the sexy new iPod touch and a drop in the prices of iPhones. Around the world the iPhone is big news even in the places that isn't supposed to be yet. An Associated Press article says that the iPhone can be bought in China although Apple isn't selling it there yet. Early adopters hungry for the latest technology are willing to pay 8,800 yuan ($1,170) for the iPhone even though the gadget doesn't function completely. The iPhone in China can make calls and send text messages, but it can't receive calls and you don't even get voicemail. The iPhone isn't set to launch in Asia until next year which at the current rate could be three or four versions from now.
It's all about technology today, and everything needs a power cord or a battery pack -- except this beauty. It's the Phonofone II from Science + Sons, and it's designed to give you full and resonating modern sound but with a touch of nostalgic beauty. The Phonofone II works using only passive amplification techniques, which means no power source needed. All you have to do is connect the earbuds from your iPod or other mP3 player and you'll instantly get all the rich room-filling sound you could want. Handmade of white ceramic, $840.
Okay, you got the iPhone in your hot little hands. Now how do you best protect your new baby from harm? A variety of companies are already on the case (dreadful pun, I know) creating iPhone carriers that range from the outrageously luxurious to the ones cheap enough to tempt you to get one in every color.

At the end of last month when the iPhone came out people were doing all kinds of crazy things in the name of the latest in cool technology. For example there's this lady in Dallas who had the ingenious idea to buy $100,000 worth of iPhones and sell them on eBay for a profit. She showed up with thousands of dollars of cash in hand shortly before the store opened and bought out the first place in line for $800. So far so good! Then they opened the doors and she proudly announced "I'm first!" as she waltzed on in, prepared to buy the store out, and promptly learned of the one iPhone per customer limit.
