Check out Chanel's iPad case—a $1,555 quilted leather folder specially designed to protect your $499 tablet computing device. Makes sense, no? Well, Harper's Bazaar has a whole round-up of luxury-label manufactured iPad cases—some priced well over the device MSRP, including an YSL number ringing in at $795.

[Harper's Bazaar]
