Call of the rich: Phone made from ivory

Into cell-phone skins? Here's the ultimate — a phone casing made from hand-carved ivory. A trio of Chinese craftsmen worked for three and a half months on this phone, earning it a price tag of $23,000. Makes for a nice toy that should satisfy your extreme opulence. Only six of these ivory boasts were made, so you'd best get on the next plane to Beijing if you want one. And you shouldn't have to worry too much about border guards confiscating it in the name of endangered elephants when you get back, since the ivory comes from the tusks of long-dead mammoths, making the phone 100% legit. So go for it, Paris. The rest of us will just have to settle for papier-mâché'ing our RAZRs, I guess.
