The most expensive laptop sleeve in the world is the CoverBee Diamond Sleeve, listed at $11 million. The Dutch company says it is covered in 8,800 diamonds and finished with Siberian sable fur at the opening. It has never been a mass-market product: CoverBee’s other sleeves cost a small fraction of that, and nobody has publicly reported a buyer. This page covers what the sleeve is, how it is priced and what luxury sleeves cost in the real world.
| Rank | Item | Price | Type of price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | CoverBee everyday sleeves | About $42 | Reported retail price |
| 2 | Designer leather and canvas laptop cases (Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Bottega Veneta) | Roughly $400 to $700 | Our estimate from resale listings |
| 1 | CoverBee Diamond Sleeve | $11,000,000 | Asking price, no reported sale |
3. CoverBee everyday sleeves: about $42
CoverBee’s regular sleeves were reported at around $42, which is the price of the brand without the jewels. It is the best illustration of how far the Diamond Sleeve sits from normal retail.
How we valued it: reported retail price from press coverage.
2. Designer laptop cases: roughly $400 to $700
The practical end of luxury is a leather or coated canvas case from a fashion house. Listings we saw for Louis Vuitton, Goyard and Bottega Veneta cases sat at about $395 to $745 on the resale market, with Hermès cases listed lower. Those are second-hand figures, not brand price lists, so use them as a range only.
How we valued it: our estimate from resale listings.
1. CoverBee Diamond Sleeve: $11 million
CoverBee was founded in 2007 by two men from Rotterdam and sells cases and sleeves for iPads, iPhones and laptops. The Diamond Sleeve was its stunt piece. It reportedly took more than two years to design, taking its cue from the 2008 “I Am Rich” iPhone app, which charged $999 for a glowing jewel on screen.
The company says the sleeve carries 8,800 diamonds, each graded VS in clarity and F in colour, with a certificate of authenticity. Diamonds can scratch a laptop, so the opening is lined with Siberian sable fur. CoverBee has said it uses fur only from animals that died of natural causes. Some Dutch coverage gave the count as 8,000 diamonds, so treat the stones figure as the maker’s claim.
Shipping was part of the pitch. Reports said the sleeve would travel with a carrier that usually moves gold for banks. We found no record of a sale, and CoverBee’s website today is a plain placeholder, so we treat the $11 million as an asking price.
How we valued it: maker’s listed price from press coverage; it is not a transaction and we did not verify it with CoverBee.
Records set in 2025 and 2026
We found no new record. The Diamond Sleeve is still the most expensive sleeve named in coverage, and there is no verified sale in 2025 or 2026.
What drives these prices
- Attention is the product. At $11 million, the sleeve works as advertising for CoverBee, not as a case.
- Materials set the floor. 8,800 flawless stones plus rare fur can total in the millions even before the maker’s mark-up.
- Security and insurance would cost more than ordinary leather goods, as with any jewellery piece.
- The “I Am Rich” idea shows demand for pure status items has always existed.
