The iPhone XS and XS Max are Apple's most expensive iPhones yet, with the top-of-the-line iPhone XS Max coming in at a cost of $1,449 for 512GB of storage.

If you want to outfit your pricey iPhone with a case that's just as expensive, we've hunted down a list of the most ridiculously priced iPhone XS cases you can get.

Gray's Alter Ego line of cases available in Titanium, Stealth, Gold, and Aurora start at $1,457. The cases are all made from aerospace grade titanium and offer a minimal design with an X shape that covers the back of the iPhone along with protective covers at each of the corners to protect from drops.

The Aurora and the Gold Alter Ego cases are limited to 100 pieces, while there are 500 of the Stealth edition available. The cases can be purchased from the Gray website.

Luxury brand Louis Vuitton makes a line of super fancy, super expensive iPhone cases like this Eye Trunk for iPhone X and XS, which resembles one of the company's classic trunks.

The most expensive is a leather iPhone case with a green rabbit fur bracelet that's priced at $795, but you can also get a plain logo case in leather with what looks like fur for $675.

These cases are not anything I would put on my iPhone XS Max at all. They completely cover the look and aesthetics of the iPhone which defeats the purpose and what exactly make these cases so special they justify the price point anyways. iI guess if money and taste are no object then ok go for it.
 
5 years ago: Oh my god, these cases are more than 3 times the price of my iPhone!
Now: Oh my god, these cases are like the price of my iPhone!
5 years later: This is nothing. My iPhone cost 5 times as much!
 
What's the saying? Oh ya, "A fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place".
wow, just wow.

I like how it says for the Gresso case " crafted from flexible, high resistance TPU for protection". That's the stuff that most of the $4 cases are made from... like it's something special.

As a mom surrounded by young girls, when I got to the part describing the Louis Vuitton case, this is the first thing that popped into my mind:

So, how fancy is YOUR iPhone Excess case? It is Pusheen with mustache levels of fancy or Pusheen with top hat, monocle, and mustache seated on a unicorn? Now THAT is fancy!

Fear and panic feeling you get when you drop your phone not enough? Double down with one of these cases! I hope they do a "will it blend" with a few of these =)
 
Want to buy the Brikk iPhone and throw a nice faux leather Speck case on it. All class right there.
 
And here I am back in November worrying I spent too much on my Cosmos Blue Apple Leather Case for my iPhone X. Nicest case I’ve ever bought.
