They really could not have made the limited number emblem anymore blatant or ugly.

Agreed. That's the thing with stuff like this... when it comes to something like limited edition watches, it's SUBTLE. The manufacturing # / limited edition markings are under the watch, and it takes real enthusiasts to pick it out of a crowd on your wrist.

Something like this is just showy... not in a good way. At least that's my take on it. But who am I kidding, if they did one in white and crackberry orange, i'd be all over it. :)

Ebay has a few multicolor back options for 20$ +/- not sure about quality though.

Wow, they look sweet, but not for that price. I also wish they would make cases like that in general. I'd like one of the black ones!

If RIM plans on keeping the leather back look on the phones(personally I'm not a huge fan, I liked the "milled" look of the 8900) then designers and accesory makers need to explore alternate hide options. I personally would love to have an ostrich hide dyed black or a rich brown, and as I type this my redneck dad thinks black eel skin with red stitching to match his "goin out boots". Now that I think about it snakeskin or a nice cow hide would be great although the last 2 would be very difficult to keep looking nice.

wow... really? It's actually $1558. I could seriously redo the entire interior of my car in a full beautiful leather interior TWICE for the cost of this one itty bitty little piece that's slapped on the back of a cell phone battery cover. I mean REALLY? Who on earth would buy this?

1500 bucks? For a painted battery door and an ugly case? You can do half the battle with a can of Rustoleum from Home Depot or Wal-Mart for about a five spot. The ugly case, you're on your own.
Sheesh

Yes they are expensive but they will sell. I mean Selfridge's had a yellow limited edition Bold a few years ago. They would not of tried to sell these if they did not think there was a market. If you can afford to shop in Selfridge's then the chances are you don't need to worry about the cost.

Put it this way Selfridges sells Luck Charms cereal (not available in many stores in the UK) for £7 or $11 a box.
