Although there are few who are able to justify a $100,000 smartphone cover, the Brikk Trim iPhone Cases will surely appeal to the filthy rich who use their money for a good cause. Luckily, the Trim collection also offers cases that range between $2,500 and $4,500 for those who aren't as extravagant as others.
The business has stated that for each of the Brikk Trim iPhone Cases sold, they will donate one metric ton of rice to a charitable NGO of their choosing. Potential customers can feel a little better about their purchase as they strut around with an iPhone case covered in 600 diamonds and weighing a total of 6 carats. Perhaps more luxury companies will soon offer the same.
