Enjoying Conspicuous Consumption With Gresso’s iPhone 4 Black Diamonds For Lady

Posted: 05 Mar 2011 12:43 PM PST

Got some extra gold bricks lying around? Check out the Gresso iPhone 4 Black Diamonds for Lady. It’s not a case, rather the phone has been modded to house 6 carats of black diamonds, edging in platinum, a 2 carat diamond home button and a frame of white diamonds. The back of the phone is made of a 200-year-old African Blackwood.

So far price is not known, but the version without diamonds is $10,000. I’d rather use a white iPhone.


Weekend Giveaway: One Of 10 Zazzle iPhone Cases

Posted: 05 Mar 2011 07:59 AM PST

You may recall Shakespeare’s opinion of iPhone cases. I quote from his famous play, The Twelfth SIM Card:

If iPhones be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of them, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o’er my ear like a Zazzle case,
That breathes upon a bank of iPhones,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe’er,
But falls into abatement and low price (free),
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.

In honor of the Bard’s love, Zazzle would like to give you one of ten custom iPhone 4 cases. How do you win? Comment below, offering your best ode to an iPhone case you can muster.

I’ll pick one of ten winners on Monday at Noon Eastern and not, incidentally, to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow.

Oris Big Crown X1 Calculator Watch

Posted: 05 Mar 2011 07:46 AM PST

Usually Oris "Big Crown" watches are rather retro. This one isn't as retro visually and feels like something a helicopter pilot would have worn during the Vietnam era, or even today. Though none of that is what the watch is based on - at least through name. Oris opted to dedicate this new watch to the famous Bell X-1 range of planes that were designed and flown simply to go fast.
