New iPhone accessories seem to come out daily, if not hourly, but the timing of this particular case seems a bit odd because it's made by Christian Dior. The venerable design house unveiled its own mobile handset only weeks ago, making a fair splash with a high-end model that will go for an estimated $26,000.

That type of fearless (read: insane) pricing probably helps explain why this rather plain-looking pouch--pardon us, the "Dior Homme iPhone Holder"--is listed at $450, according to Luxurylaunches. It's a good thing that the iPhone needs only one case, unlike the "My Dior" handset and its "Mini-Me" companion.
