The iPhone is a cool handset and there are hoards of cases available to keep it looking good. Perhaps the most expensive iPhone case ever has been announced by Noreve with a cost slightly under $15,000. The case is available in 15 different colors and features 272 diamonds.

Each of the diamonds is between 18 and 22 points and are of VS1 quality and G color. The total diamond weight on the case is 6.8 Karats. The case is designed to fit the iPhone 3G and from images, it appears the iPhone simply slips into the case.

"This case is yet another step we are taking to help the Noreve brand become one of the most unique and recognized case manufacturers in the world," says Sam Brust, Vice President of Sales for NoreveUSA. "We look forward to working with additional types of precious stones in our future designs."
