Samsung and Swarovski join forces to make Galaxy Note 3 back covers fabulous. The partnership makes a play for the posh customer looking for something more premium than the fake leather covers offered on stock Note 3’s.Both companies are teaming up to offer limited edition back covers are available in the three colors, including Jet, Crystal Silver and a blend of Crystal Bermuda Blue and Crystal Metallic Light Gold. Sounds fancy, huh? Word of this joint venture hit today during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Unfortunately, the special covers can only be bought in the 5th Avenue Swarovski store in Manhattan. The limited edition crystal encrusted back covers won’t come cheap, as each cover will set you back a whopping $299. That price tag will also get you a matching bracelet.

“At Samsung, we embrace the creativity of fashion and enable it through our technology. Together with Swarovski, we’re celebrating that creativity with a specially-designed backstage lounge and a limited-edition custom cover for one of our latest smartphones during this season’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week,” said Young Hee Lee, executive vice president of Samsung. “The gorgeous, Swarovski crystal-covered cover adds a glamorous touch to the beautifully designed Galaxy Note 3 to make it the must-have device this MBFW.”

This may not be a huge seller for Samsung, but credit should go out to them for trying to do something different. Okay, who’s ready to buy a blinged-out Galaxy Note 3 back cover?
