This luxurious line of covers beautifies your cellphone with either [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-1) Crystals or 24 and 18-carat gold. The sparkly diamond case is made of yellow or white gold with the diamonds running along the side of your iPhone 5 like a decorative banner. The other cases are more subdued, letting the yellow of the precious metal speak for itself. The Vietnamese company prides itself on being the first to provide gold covers for the iPhone 5. The Digilux cases are expected to put you under about $1,000 at the least. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Phone Accessories:** There is an opportunity for companies to create high-end phone cases adorned with precious materials for consumers who want to add a touch of luxury to their smartphones. - **Customized Phone Protection:** Personalization and customization of phone cases with crystals and precious metals can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the phone accessory industry. - **Experiential Phone Accessories:** Creating phone accessories that provide a unique and luxurious experience, such as gold and crystal cases, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies looking to differentiate in the market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods companies can explore the market of high-end phone cases adorned with crystals and precious metals as a potential growth area. - **Phone Accessories:** Companies in the phone accessory industry have the opportunity to tap into the demand for customized and luxury phone cases to cater to consumers' desire for unique and fashionable products. - **Jewelry:** Jewelry companies can expand their product offerings by venturing into the market of phone cases adorned with crystals and precious metals, allowing consumers to carry a touch of luxury on their smartphones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Luxe Diamond Watch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Rhinestone Earphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glam-earpods-holder.md) - [Diamond Smartwatch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-1.md) - [Luxurious Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-iphone-case1.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md) - [Sophisticated Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-smartphone-case.md) - [Slick Smart Watch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-x-blvck-paris.md)
