iPhone 6 gets luxury cases from By Atelier

With the new iPhone now in store, lines snaked around city blocks throughout the world as consumers hoped to get their hands on one. Meanwhile, accessory manufacturers are beginning to launch dedicated covers for the latest smartphone out of Cupertino, including By Atelier's high-end cases adorned with leather or sapphire crystal. The brand's first collection for iPhone 6 is based on an entirely hand-polished steel structure designed for maximum protection, namely thanks to its reliable attachment system with four clasps. So far, By Atelier offers seven cases for the iPhone 6, each different through the exterior finishing in different shades of sapphire crystal, calf leather or alligator leather. All of the items have a guaranteed flawless finish reflecting the brand's high-precision techniques and savoir-faire. Each case may be purchased with or without the iPhone 6. The case alone costs between €1,690 and €1,990 (around $2,190 to $2,570) and includes a one-year subscription to a concierge service inspired by those of five-star hotels. For one year after purchasing a By Atelier case, iPhone users have access to an exclusive app for personalized assistance with travel arrangements, dinner reservations and similar services. By Atelier products may be found online and in a limited selection of stores.
