Most Expensive IPhone Cases

If you go into any electronics or wireless store, most phone cases you'll see will cost around $20, with the highest prices touching about $80. But some people just can't get enough glamour. We thought that an iPhone case costing $80 dollars, such as the LifeProof (waterproof, shockproof, scratchproof) case was extremely expensive, running almost half the price of the newest iPhone model. We were dead wrong.

The cases below fetch prices that range from a bit over $200 to over $300,000. Are they worth it? Maybe to someone who has that kind of cash to burn, but even then, isn’t it just an iPhone case? On the other hand, some serious craftsmanship has gone into some of these cases, and they do look gorgeous. Take a look, and judge for yourself.

9 People Teaching Us Gamification

Finding effective ways of improving productivity and problem solving is a major focus for many of us. Whether it is in our own lives, or in teaching others, everything from metaphors to pneumatic devices can be helpful. One that has been around for awhile but was only recently named and applied in a more modern way is gamification.

What Is Gamification?

Coined by British computer programmer and game developer Nick Pelling, gamification is a term used to describe the application of "game thinking" into non-game related situations. It also uses "game mechanics" to the same effect.

It taps into the natural competitive spirit of human beings, and offers rewards for achievements at every level of success. Points can be awarded, special titles given, an end prize worked toward, and the whole process can be done as an individual or as a team. Anything that makes a task, either professional or personal, feel more like a game is gamification.
