Louis Vuitton selling an iPad case you don't need

They're $365, which is almost as much as the iPad itself, but as with most luxury items, if you're worried about the price, you probably shouldn't be buying them anyway. Just in case you do have more money than sense, these will go on sale sometime next year. In the meantime, if you need any $400 cases made from felt, we should talk.

...LV products never go on sale...in fact, they go up in price FYI. This case will eventually be more than the iPad itself.

I think the point is to make it as ugly as possible so it really stands out, so it gets people to look, and then you say it was "only" $400 and it makes you sound wealthy. Or more specifically, it makes you feel like you sound wealthy. Feeling wealthy is just as viable a marketing concept as actually being wealthy, even though 100% of people who spend $400 for an ugly LV ipad case will pay for it with a high-interest credit card.
People are so dumb. I swear, if aliens came down and invaded earth with the goal of wiping out the human race, I'd be the first human to join their side.
.the top notches is not to show off the home button. It creates a way for you to take the iPad out.
.Louis Vuiitton is never on sale.
.and yes, if you think $365 Vuitton iPad case is too expensive, then it's not for you.
Do you need an Apple product?
You could put Apple right besides Louis Vuitton for that matter...
Um... this is a fake, kids. LV doesn't yet make an iPad case... I know because I had a client actually ask me for one, and I went to the LV Store directly in NYC. They said they are frequently asked, and have contacted headquarters to be told such a case would be months away - if at all.

Haha, very funny article. Lovely read. Very well written.
I dont need this case, ' cause I have more sense than money! :) Stylish though.
I actually like them. Especially that first one. Still too expensive for my taste.
