This OtterBox phone case is super sparkly and costs $140


When does your iPhone become a fashion accessory?

When it comes adorned with Swarovski crystals and sells for $140.

If you're into bling and showing off your fashion sense — and if you sometimes fumble your phone — OtterBox has a new case for your iPhone 6 or 6s.

The maker of protective cases for tablets and smartphones based in Fort Collins, Colorado, recently launched the Symmetry Crystal Edition embedded with Swarovski crystals.

The cases are marketed to the fashionista about town, and though they are a departure from the company's more rugged-looking offerings, some have already swooned over the glitzy cases.

"OtterBox is making a statement in the fashion world with our sleek Symmetry Series cases, and when we decided to add some sparkle to our lineup there was only one brand we wanted to work with," said OtterBox President Steve Nisbet in a press release.

"Swarovski has been known for over a century for its premium, high-end craftsmanship and OtterBox is dedicated to providing engineered protection. The two together are a perfect marriage of fashion and protection for the style savvy consumer."

Midnight, Gold Sand and Mystic colors offer cases that "reflect a taste of glamour and prestige in the city," according to OtterBox's marketing campaign.  The Mystic case provides "a perfect matching case to complement your outfit from formal wear to high heels for a girls night out."

However, the $140 price tag may be cost-prohibitive for some.
