Traditional Japanese Art iPhone Cases for $1000
So you’ve got all the latest iPhone applications, the hottest jpop star as your screen wallpaper, but why don’t you give your phone some true love by dressing it up with a $1000 case? Take a look at the Japanese Texture case series by Softbank, covered in lacquer and gold dust. The drawings depict the art of the Sengoku period, a time of constant military conflict in Japan. It is also often referred to as the ‘Warring States Period’ and often compared to the Dark Ages in Europe, this era lasted fromt he middle of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century.
Each case is also named after famous samurais such as Naoe Kanetsugu and Sanada Yukimura. The makers of the cases also make similar storage boxes and each of the handmade cases takes about three weeks to make.

Question: Would you pay $1000 for a cell phone case? If so, what would it have to be made of or look like?
I want one of these … they are so bad ass … which one is everyone’s favorite ?
the one with the waves is the nicest
what’s a 1000$ to the japanese when they already pay more than that for their handbags and other accessories…
Hmm, my iPhone’s casing is falling apart and I am in the market for a new one. If I pay $1000 for this and it falls apart less than 4 months after I bought as my current one is, I just mught go Samurai on them! Is it really $1000????
Very nice, but that’s one hell of a steep price tag. Having said that, I guess the price attracts the people with money to spend. Status symbol. Still, having a case which is far more valuable than the thing which it is designed to protect seems a bit odd to me.
Very helpful content. We really like this particular blog due to the fact it always feels that you familiar with just what you happen to be discussing about. I will certainly vote you on delicious.
Great write up. The iPhone is truly revolutionary and I don’t like being without it. This time last year I had jumped in a pool with my iPhone and it was dead. I had to wait 9 days before I was able to buya new one. The phone I had was a cheap go phone. I really love all the apps that can be downloaded to the iPhone. The best part about the iPhone to me is the ability to check emails on the fly. Thanks for the information.
