Here’s a set of Jap-tastic iPhone cases that are so expensive they come with their own slip-cover case (for your case). These stunning works of fine art take designers four grueling weeks to complete using special paints, lacquer and gold dust.

The fantastical price of roughly $1,000 each is justified by the use of an overpaid historian, with each case design connecting to Japan’s rich pageantry of the Sengoku period (1467 to 1615).

iPhone Caze started its business at a small shop with handmade products and released its first iPhone case in 2007.

Now this seems pretty useful, if you ask me. The iPhone 3G FUEL is the latest offering from Case-Mate and offerings a way to carry your iPhone and boost your battery life at the same time. And that’s a deal that you can’t really beat.

The FUEL makes it so you can charge your iPhone no matter where you are. Even if you leave your charger at home, you’ll be okay to go because the device provides you with an extra 9-hours of talk time.

Additionally, you can add on 7 extra web browsing hours, 24-hours of music playback, 8-hours of video playback and up to 250-hours of standby time. You can sync your iPhone 3G with this device as well. You can get the iPhone 3G FUEL Rechargeable Battery Pack today for $79.99.

Its product description tells us:

Designer handmade wooden case for the iPhone 3G. This box is made out of wenge and finished with linseed oil. It is designed to add a natural aesthetic to your iPhone 3G, while protecting it from scratches when it is in your pocket, purse or bag. The contours are shaped and sanded to compliment the curves of the iPhone and the interior is sized to hold it snugly. This one of a kind case would make a wonderful gift for the iPhone user.

Each one is $85 over at Etsy, excluding its shipping cost.

If you like to go on bike rides and listen to music at the same time, you may find that navigating the roads and fiddling with your iPod could be dangerous business. This case clips onto your bike’s handle bars right in the center. The controls then attach to either side of the iPod, keeping the device right in front of you, and the controls at your hands.

This way, you can skip a track and adjust the volume without ever having to take your hands off the handle bars. The Mode button on the controls also let you check your mph, distance traveled and other nifty stats. You can get the iBikeConsole now for $76 and it is compatible with the first through third generation of iPod nanos. We’ll have to see if they’ve made any adjustments for iPod nano 4th gen once its announced tomorrow!

That would explain the release of their iChoose Juicy iPhone cases, at least. These sure to be popular gel cases will keep your phone protected and stylish, apparently. 

You get three in a box set in various pastel, dessert-looking colors such as white, strawberry and lime green. And while you could pick up a pack of three of similar cases at your local electronics store for about $10, this designer set goes for $55. 

That’s asking a little too much, if you ask me. Especially since the only thing that sets these cases apart from the rest is the “iChoose Juicy” logo on the back. I hate to be such a downer but I like to call a rip off when I see one, and this definitely qualifies.

The pouch itself is definitely for either sex, although this one looks a bit more masculine than feminine. The Dapper iPhone pouch will fit both the 1st Gen iPhone and the 3G iPhone.

It is made from 100% top-grade 3mm wool felt and for the front pocket premium buttery soft cow leather. They are handcrafted in Europe and will cost you $70 a piece.

You may remember the Mophie Juice Pack from when it was originally released for the 1st Gen iPhone.  Well come September you will be able to get the 3G version of the Mophie Juice Pack.

Right now they are taking pre-orders for the case.  Likely it’s not going to be all that different from the original version of the case. So if you’re curious about it, you can read up on our review of the original case that was posted back in April.

It can extend the internet browsing time by up to six hours, audio playback by up to 28 and video by up to eight.  The cases will cost you $99 a piece.  However, it’ll still be September before the very first shipment.

This case from Mobilefun does have a couple drawbacks, in general it is slightly more inconvenient than the usual battery packs. For instance it takes ten hours to bring the case’s battery to a full charge. Then if you happen to run your iPhone out of juice it could take three hours to get it to a point where it’s running again.

The ten hours part really wouldn’t be too bad since you could leave it in a window while you’re at work or in your car. To charge up your phone just insert it into the case. There is no word on a price just yet but they are expected to be released sometime this month.

At the same time it has cover plugs for the bottom accessory port.  The silicone case comes in both black and a clear frosted version and is being sold for $19.

All of their sleeves are made to hug your iPhone to keep it secure. The case will not only hold the iPhone 3G, but the original iPhone and the iPod Touch. If this plain blue doesn’t satisfy your tastes, they have plenty other pattens and materials they use.

Each one is only $10 over at Etsy, which also means that you could pick up a few to suit your moods. They have everything from flower patterns, to plain, onto slightly more geeky designs. They also sell sleeves for MacBooks, if you’d like to get all of your gadgets in matching sleeves.
