Designer Cases - More Expensive than the iPad Itself


Designers are all trying to get their piece of the technology pie. So what better way than to design cases to protect people's precious iPads? Well it might defeat the purpose a little when the cases are more - sometimes more than three times - the price of the gadget itself.


Here are some top designers and how much their cases are going for:


Designer: Tod's

Price: $4,9000

Description: This case is not too much bang for how much buck they want. For nearly $5,000 this case is boring - but at least it's made from genuine alligator, right?



Designer: Chanel

Price: $1,555

Description: This case is basically the price of three iPads, but if you are into paying that much for a case, this is a classic Chanel with black, quilted leather.



Designer: Crystal Roc

Price: $966

Description: All that glitters is not gold, but it might be Swarovski's Xilion Cut crystals. Who doesn't want an iPad completely covered with Swarovski crystals?


Designer: Prada

Price: $420

Description: Simple and classy, Prada offers a simple red nylon iPad case.


Designer: Louis Vuitton

Price: $390

Description: Fairly cheap compared to the other designers, this case sports the Louis Vuitton logo.
