Back in May I told you about the world's most expensive iPad, a solid gold version by Stuart Hughes priced at $189,000. Today, famed Italian luxury goods brand Tod's is offering the world's most expensive iPad case, which I could have used yesterday on my 14-hour long journey from Los Angeles to Istanbul. 
The luxurious case, finished in genuine alligator, is priced at $4,900 - almost ten times the cost of Apple's un-embellished 16GB iPad itself. The one-of-a-kind accessory is handmade in Italy from the world's finest grade alligator skin, and will be available in brown, blue and tan from Tod's boutiques worldwide beginning in November 2010. There's also a version in buff colored calfskin for a cooler $495. Meanwhile Tod's has also launched its first iPad app, called "My Life Is In This Bag."
