It’s been a long wait since Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2017 runway show in October when the Louis Vuitton Eye-Trunk iPhone Case was the most talked-about piece on the brand’s runway, but now, after a bout of rumor aggregation and several months of not-so-patient waiting, the first few versions of the actual cases have arrived. Naturally, we’ve put together all the available photos and pricing information for the cases so far into one easy guide for potential shoppers (or, you know, committed browsers).
As we originally reported, the Eye-Trunk (I’m assuming Vuitton went with that because Apple has legal protections over names that begin with the lowercase i, like iTrunk) comes in sizes for both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. All three currently available monogram versions (traditional Monogram, Monogram Reverse and Monogram Eclipse) are $1,180 for the iPhone 7 and $1,250 for the 7 Plus. At the moment, the only other material available is gold crocodile, which rings up at $5,050 for the 7 and $5,500 for the 7 Plus.
Based on Louis Vuitton’s website, it seems like more versions are forthcoming soon–the crocodile 7 Plus thumbnail doesn’t lead to an actual product page yet, and listed color and material options on several of the cases lead to default pages with no additional info. We’ll keep you updated as more pricing and availability details become available, but until then, here are photos and prices for all the current options.
Apple better stop changing iphone sizes in their next models! 😀
But they probably will!
And also the camera position/size, where the charger (if there is one) plugs in, etc. I have a drawer full of phone cases that I can’t use anymore, and all of them cost way less than this LV one. But I do like how this one looks.
about slide 1, over $5000 for a phone case?! Even it’s exotic leather it only cost such a little piece of Crocodile skin. Apple put so much more engineering and factory labors on making an phone, but any of above LV phone cases with much less thing costs much higher price. I don’t understand how rich people thinks, but I will definitely never buy any of these over priced phone cases.
You don’t understand rich people because you’re not rich
Over 5k for a phone case…godDAMN! Though if I had the money…why the heck not?
I’m going to wait for the inspired cases to come and get one of those for 30$. Anyone who would pay so much money for a phone case is insane.
Well there are much better design out there and very affordable price. It is rather stupid to spend such silly $$$$ for just bloody phone case. Not cool looking and hediously cheap looking.
If I had a ridiculously disposable income, I’d get one. However, I have an internal struggle over buying any phone cases with how fast Apple changes the design of each phone
Yet there tons of people complaining that Apple hasn’t changed the design of their phone soon enough!
Not really interested in paying for a case that costs more than the phone itself. But, if money were no object, I’d definitely get one.
Gorgeous but even if I could afford to spend so much on a case I don’t think I would. The case lasts only as long as the phone. And Apple makes SURE that isn’t long….
how many people could I feed for that amount of $. Just f’in sad.
Very heavy case. I’m sure the ladies that have bricks for handbags will not appreciate the extra weight. Although it is a very cool looking case, I don’t think it’s worth the price.
I love these, especially the Eclipse and the Shadow. Smaller pieces often take more precise labor and that could be a factor in the cost, but even so $5K is crazy. But there is always someone out there who can afford stuff like this.
This is satire right? My god, those cases are gut wrenchingly ugly. I’m pretty sure I can hear Jonny Ive sobbing from across the pond.
Burp
Vuitton has to be the most overrated fashion brand.
And this thing looks like shit. Whoever says it looks good needs a brain check.
Absurd lol
Bryan boy has one and it looks amazing. Now if only I had a spare $1,180.. or if anyone wanted to gift it me, I wouldn’t be opposed. My $10 silicone case will have to do until then ?
i pass on the cell phone cases. i like the fully proofed (which is never fully proofed i know) cases over brand name cases. but do you know if the kim jones x lv x supreme collection will be out in Fall of this year? i’m trying to find the estimated time but no one’s writing about it.
Mine just arrived after being on the order list for 5 weeks. It’s fantastic.
