Top Carbon Fiber iPhone Cases

Carbon fiber’s popularity in iPhone cases may be attributed to the material’s toughness and low density. After all, part of the appeal of the iPhone is that it’s so slim, so a lightweight protective material is all the more attractive. Check out these three luxury iPhone cases and you’ll see why they’re some of the most expensive iPhone cases in the world.

Case-mate iPhone 3G/3GS Carbon Fiber Leather Case
$49.99
This luxury iPhone case is made with a rare leather—mainly used in high-end aftermarket cars—covering an impact resistant molded shell. The exclusive case is available only in black and includes a screen protector.

Case-mate iPhone 3G/3GS Carbon Fiber Leather Case/Holster Combo
$79.99
Made with the same rare leather as their slightly-less-premium case above, this is Case-mate’s finest iPhone case. In fact, it’s available only for a limited time. Once their supply is gone, that’s it. The case also comes with full face screen protection and a holster made of the same carbon fiber leather as the case itself. This costly case can be purchased in either red or black.

DRO Concepts’ Carbon Fiber iPhone 3G Case
$92.99
The world’s most expensive carbon fiber iPhone case is an improvement on a similar case by the now-defunct Belch Co. (can’t see why they went out of business). This handcrafted case features four layers of carbon fiber with a scratch-resistant gloss finish and a neoprene lining. It even has a removable bottom so you can dock it without the hassle of removing the whole case.
GnG “Golden Delicious”
$100,000+
This extravagant case is the culmination of twelve months of development. The case features a 1mm subshell made with 140 grams of 18k gold, a carbon fiber inlay and about 200 diamonds. The outer frame features another 400 diamonds in the logo, which may be customized. As a customizable luxury item, however, prices may vary widely based on the materials needed.
