[NduPlessis]

While most of us want stronger phone and tablet cases, the United Arab Emirates strive to 'Stay Different' by having softer 24-karat gold cases. At least they're shiny.

Am I the only that feels a need to go the hotel walk up non the manager and punch him the face. I'm sorry but I'm quite confident Allah does not approve of this self indulgent gluttony!!!

This goes back to the old saying..."Money can't buy you class."

Its worth it if it weighed 7 ounces.

Theres nothi ironic about it, most of the labor in dubai comes from other countries. When you are rich in oil money, with a small population there is a need to be labor work, and women Arab ones do not work at all.

I think I can decipher what you are trying to say, but...damn. English?

This is stupid, no valid argument for this exists, just stupid

Whoever said "A fool and his money are soon parted" certainly didn't this one coming.

A stock 4th generation iPad with WiFi & Cellular antennas and 128 GB of flash storage goes for almost $ 1,000? INSANE! That was the only detail that surprised me in the article. Rich people would gold plate their turds if they could. No surprise there.

People from the middle east are Asian as it is a part of Asia.

Don't turn this into a race thread or posts will be deleted and bans will be issued. - G

i have the money and i will spend it however i damn well please? its a valid argument, you earn money, it's yours to spend how you wish.

Whoever said "A fool and his money are soon parted" certainly didn't this one coming.

it really depends on how how much gold is used, if its plated... than its retardedly expensive, if it a bit more gold, it could be a decent investment too.

Fair price. Slightly higher than a standard Apple device. At least this one has some reasons. Gold.

Thanks for the geography lesson. Everything in your life must revolve around being politically correct

I am sorry if you can't find anything ironic in the picture. Please ignore my posts if you live in a rigid box.

If you think this is over the top, look at UAE police cars :

Punch of hypocrites, and there nearby countries are poor (Jordan,Egypt, Gaza, Somalia) but sadly, this attitude attracts billionaires (i wont whos money there spending )and they will spend money on that shit

 

[cats_Paw]

Why not? Arabs there have so much money that they can afford that as if it was a tuesday special offer in pizza delivery.

 

[spat55]

Wonder how heavy the thing is? Not very practical is it lol

 

[Vorador2]

Money can't buy you style, but it can show your lack thereof. There's a million ways of showing off the rich you are in good style, but all this hotel could think off is gold plating iPads.
Next step, gold plating all your employees teeth.

Ha, I've deleted hundreds of posts in the smart phone forum about this. :lol:

 

[dalmvern]

This has to be gold plated...if it was pure 24 ct. gold it would be a race between the case warping and the screen breaking.
