If you’ve got money to burn head on over the Japan where you can pick yourself up one of these cases.

The so-called JAPAN TEXTURE [JP] series consists of a total of five cases with different designs. Created under the supervision of a historian, SoftBank says each case is covered with special lacquer and gold dust. It takes three to four weeks to make one, which kind of explains the price.

The cases are said to show how Japanese warlords from the Sengoku period would probably use their iPhones if they lived today.

Each case comes with a specially designed pouch, a booklet explaining the historical background of the design and a storage box. And yes, each one costs $1,000.
