I'm guessing based upon the silicone sleeve I purchased for my N800 way back when. Those were $20 to $30 + shipping from Boxwave and the other known-brand handheld accessory companies, and that's without the "Apple tax". On eBay, from Hong Kong companies, the N800 sleeves were more like $3 to $6 shipped, and I expect those Hong Kong dealers were still making a healthy profit.

Really, we should have seen this situation coming. We know Jobs is strongly anti-porn, so no surprise that even his hardware insists on being clothed at all times now. (Ba-dum-chhh!)
