To celebrate the 2008 Summer Olympics being held in Beijing, China. De Vere’s of London have created the Olympic Diamond iPhone 3G.The front steel bezel of these Apple iPhones 3G are inset with 88 diamonds.

This number marks the date of the opening ceremony on 8/8 (8th of August) 2008.
The number 8 is very important in Chinese superstition as the pronunciation of it is the same as “accumulate wealth” and also double 8 stands for double wealth.

The Olympic Diamond iPhone is £4148 (USD$8219). This is the price for setting the 88 diamonds into an iPhone supplied by the customer.

The 88 diamonds can be set in a variety of patterns : Below are a couple of ideas.

On the left, the 88 diamonds are set into the top right hand corner. On the right, the same design is expanded so that the diamonds are spread along the top and side.

There are other iPhone designs and many ways to show off the diamonds on your iPhone !
Other designs include 28 diamonds valued at £1700 ($3376). Those seeking a bit more luxury can get a version that is festooned with168 diamonds that costs £7800 ($15493). It takes between 7-10 days to set the diamonds into the iPhone.

There are lots of cases made for new iPhone 3G and one of the latest one comes from Christian Dior.

Named “Dior Homme iPhone Holder”, from Dior Homme’s exclusive Black Tie collection, the case is made from calf leather and it’s all painted in black, featuring a discreet Dior logo on the inside.

Unlike other cases, this one is actually more like a pouch and it allows you to completely hide your iPhone inside it.

Part of the GLK collection, the new iPhone pouch is crafted from the finest quality white nappa leather with crisp cut-out transparent GLK lettering– a characteristic feature of the entire GLK Collection – that has been lavishly trimmed with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements.

The effect is eye-catching: when the iPhone is actually inserted and the display is activated, the refraction of light through the fine-cut crystals ensures that the GLK lettering shimmers in an attractive play of colours. Inside the GLK iPhone® pouch is lined with a special magenta-coloured fabric.

Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH has been working closely with the Austrian crystal specialist Swarovski for some time now. The strictly limited edition of 40 exclusive, glittering iPhone® pouches will be exclusively raffled for invited guests of Mercedes-Benz in the Lounge.

Only 40 are set for immediate production, with each set to be raffled for invited guests of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in the Lounge. But not to worry, the iPhone pouch will certainly make its official debut as part of the Mercedes GLK Collection come October. Though, for drivers of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, the GLK-Class offers a convenient and secure connection for the iPhone on board with the usual multifunction steering wheel control.

If you thought an iPhone 3G is little too expensive, then you probably won’t buy the new Amosu Ultimo Diamond iphone, set with 1179 dazzling 16.18 carat diamond.

It has an extra $177,100 put on the price and is therefore the new world’s most expensive iPhone.

Elegantly set with handcrafted skill, It features 458 diamonds caked around the flat-front face.
The rear bottom case is made of 18 carat solid white gold encrusted with 660 diamonds and the apple logo has 61 diamonds.
