While the iPhone's tenure as a status symbol has long expired because 250 million have been sold, there are still ways of jazzing it back up — like encasing it with a Solid Gold iPhone Case. Made with 14-karat gold, each case is made-to-order for your current iPhone, numbered, and engraved.

Wondering what happens when Tim Cook and Apple release the iPhone 6? Pack up your gold iPhone case and return it. They'll melt it down and recast it to fit your new gadget.
