What took so long?  I posted a couple week ago at our lovely sister site about a $20,000 case for the iPhone.  Luckily for any Blackberry owners feeling left out of the ‘Costs Less Than a Sports Car’ case-acquiring club, the same good people at Case-Mate have come along with a knock-down $9,999 case for the Blackberry Curve.

Introducing the world’s first diamond BlackBerry Curve case…

The Case-mate Diamond Case is handcrafted with 1.25 carats of gorgeous diamonds set in 22K gold stars, embedded in a rare gold carbon fiber leather case. With VVS1 clarity and H color, these diamonds are superior in quality. Complete with an 18K gold emblem, the Case-mate Diamond BlackBerry Case is truly a one of a kind.

But that’s not all. The Diamond Curve Case is crafted of luxurious Carbon Fiber leather, previously available only in high end aftermarket cars (Techart Porsche) and very high end cell phones (Vertu). Case-mate worked closely with its leather craftsmen to develop this rare gold leather for this very special BlackBerry Curve case.

Quantities are extremely limited, so preorder the Diamond BlackBerry case today. 4-6 week delivery, free shipping.

Quantities are limited – and your shipping is free, so get a move on eh.

Oh, and I’ve just got to ask whether any of you Curve owners feel your device is just a.little down-market now, given how ridiculously cheap this case is compared to the iPhone model?  Anyway, if you need to get your hands on one of these – or even two for the price of just one of the iPhone ones! – head over to:
