The iPad is the hottest technological gadget since…well, since the iPhone. Apple does seem to have the market cornered on hot new devices. Anyways, these new hot commodities have spawned a frowing market for cases to carry them that range from the purely practical to the outrageously opulent. This sequined case by Dolce & Gabbana is of the latter variety.

This case is pretty and sparkly, and even a little practical, but frankly, I think it’s a little much. The leather is durable and practical, and the front pouch is a really great organizational feature. The sequins, however, make it seem a bit unreasonable for daily use. The iPad, after all, is the kind of thing that you want to take everywhere, and this is more of an evening wear style case. Plus, those dangly stars have got to go. Ick.

We spotted a brand new with tags Sofia C. leather satchel purse on an eBay auction going for $169 with free shipping.  Made using the highest grade of Italian leather, this authentic Sofia C. satchel bag comes in a bluish gray supple leather that really is perfect for all seasons.

And if the price isn’t perfect for a luxury guru, we don’t know what is!

The Judith Leiber Pigtail Minaudiere Clutch is made with Austrian crystals and lined with kidskin.  While it’s a pretty dainty clutch, you can still pack at least two lipsticks in the 4 1/2″H x 3 1/2″W compartment and make use of the 50″ detachable gold.  Only $3,600 from Neiman Marcus.
