Last year a wealthy business man from Hong Kong traveled to England in possession of a handful of 26 carat black diamonds. His goal was to use these diamonds to create an iPhone case and accessories. His new toy has finally been finished, and what a new toy it is.
The home key of his new iPhone 5 is studded with the black diamonds, the logo on the back of the phone has been recreated using 53 of the small precious stones, the screen has been replaced by a sapphire version and the casing has been decorated with 135 grams of pure gold in addition to a further 600 white diamonds. Naturally this is now the world’s most expensive iPhone. It took 9 weeks to make and is valued at a crazy 100 million RMB.
We’re hoping this exterior is transferrable so that when the iPhone 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 come out within the next two years, that he can upgrade his phone and still benefit from the spectacular casing. If not then he will surely be in possession of the world’s most expensive ‘spare phone.’

Makes me think of those phones I saw in the countryside, made of golden plastic. It's like one of those countryside folks got rich and decided to upgrade the golden plastic, not his cultural education.

Shame on him. I hope whomever he paid to make this ridiculous contraption uses that money to do something positive in the world. We can only hope...

The last thing the truly wealthy Hong Kong tycoons want is to show their wealth; they aren't dumb ---look what happened to Li Ka Shing's elder son. This moron looks like one of those mainlanders who bought a Hong Kong ID card.

i hope the weight of the thing gives him a big red belt mark when he takes his pants off at night. i hope the corners of the diamonds snag on silk threads in the lining of his pocket, totally cramping his style when he tries to pick up the phone. and most of all, i hope some lucky pickpocket hits the friggin' jackpot!

Sad, very sad. This man clearly has very small genitalia. We have a very good saying in the UK that covers stuff like this - "muck with brass"

What a great man! Instead of spending about 20 mil USD on a phone cover he could of helped rural children out of poverty or sex trade workers to develop new skills and get out of a living hell... but no... He spent it on something grossly unnecessary and vain, the signs of a truly great man!
