Fully gold-plated iPhone

Given the record sales figures, you could be forgiven for thinking that your iPhone isn’t quite the stand-out showpiece it once was. If you're aiming for a little extra exclusivity this fully gold plated Apple iPhone from UK based Goldstriker International could be the answer.

Retailing for £699.95 (approx. US$1450), the gold iPhone is plated with struck 24ct gold. The parts are adorned in gold including front full surround and 3/4 of the rear revealing a total mirror finish. The creator of the gold iPhone is a family run business, specializing in precious metal plating. They offer a range of MP3 devices and phones laden with yellow, rose or white gold. For those wanting a phone that makes an even more serious statement, why not purchase the Motorola KZR Leopard Diamond Edition for a lazy £14,995 (more than US$3000).

In the same vein as the BLINGPLayer range of iPod accessories, but for high end consumers, Goldstriker also has on offer full gold iPod Nano 8GB (£299.95/US$620), classic iPod (from £399.95/US$830) and iPod touch with rear gold(from £299.95).
