Gray’s titanium x-frame case costs over two times more than the iPhones it protects

Gray International has unveiled its latest luxury cases for iPhone X, XS, and XS Max. Made from titanium, the new Alter Ego Collection is available in four finishes and focuses on a unique design, at what seems like the expense of practicality.

Gray has switched things up with its case design this year with the new X-frame style Alter Ego. The previously released Advent case offers a more traditional design, but with a similarly high price tag.

Alter Ego is made from aerospace grade titanium which is then mechanically finished in either black, gold, aurora, or a natural titanium (silver). A unique design is certainly what the company was going for, even if it looks impractical from an ergonomic and day-to-day use perspective.

Engineered to thrill both you and those around you, the Alter Ego sees the iPhone radically transformed with a distinct jaw-dropping aesthetic persona, allowing it to look and feel like nothing you have ever seen before. The Alter Ego was not made the same, but then neither were you.

Prices start at $1,470 for the titanium finished Alter Ego for iPhone X/XS and go up to $3,009 for the multi-color aurora finish for iPhone XS Max. While pre-orders are open, the cases aren’t slated to start shipping until October for the X/XS and December for the XS Max.

Thanks, Sonny!
