Most+Expensive+iPod+Accessories+(Demosthenes)

Overview
Back in the day (say 2003 or so), having an iPod made you a ritzy, cool, hipster-before-hipsters-existed kind of person. All you needed was your shiny white iPod (pre-click wheel, of course) and everybody knew you were **the man**. Over the years however, iPods became readily available to all sorts of people across the market, with prices dropping to as low as $45 for the most recent incarnation of the iPod Shuffle. It seems that our mass market solution to the relatively low prices of Apple's coveted mp3 player, is to create a range of the most expensive accessories possible. Almost like a competition, diamond encrusted and solid gold iPod accessories have popped up at an alarming pace. The two aforementioned cases, in particular, cost about $12,500 and $100,000, respectively. Is this really necessary? Probably not. Is it simply within our rights to freedom of expression to express not only our individual tastes but our individual bank accounts? Perhaps.
