Book Charging Dock for iPhone and iPod

There are others in this collection which I like more but this is for my son who still has a fascination with dinosaurs and is convinced he is going to be a palaeontologist when he grows up. Ingenious.

This is an amazing new white leather-bound copy of Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. It's red and black accents make it a stand-out piece. Charge your device in the jaws of a T-rex.

It looks like a mild-mannered book on a table or a desk, you almost don't notice that it's a charger. No more dropping the cord behind the desk! The charging cord is well secured into the book, and it's designed to be compatible with all iPods and iPhones (iPhone 3G, 3GS & iPhone 4G), it accommodates sync and charge functions via a USB cable, wall connector is not included.

Shadowstand for iPhone and iPad

Very cute and fun. Made for iPad, iPhone or other similar sized devices this stand appears to cast a shadow as it holds your device inlace for easier viewing. It's always interesting to see the contrast between the coldness of devices like the iPhone and the warmth natural forms and materials. Despite being the best looking device available I always find myself drawn to accessories that add some kind of tactile or natural feeling; it's less of a concern with other handsets and tablets, though as great as they are on the inside the exterior always feels like a cheap plastic toy. Cheap plastic toys don't warrant much of an accessory market.

Shadowstand was developed by Japanese architecture firm and design studio Nendo for ELECOM.

iPhone Christmas Skin Kit

This is an interesting idea which I don't remember seeing or thinking of in the past. Taking an attractive pattern, of your choosing, from the outside of the device to the wallpaper of home screen. Not brilliant but might appeal to some.

In this case I think it is simply an artist rendering of what is an attractive pattern for the coming holiday season. Canadian 'Nitza' designs the artwork and the skin is shipped to you from the US. Nice. especially if you would like to add sue extra scratch protection or get tired of the cool Rams inspired aesthetic of the iPhone.

Hacoa iPhone BaseStation

I've been looking at iPhone bases lately and this one from Hocoa caught my eye. Made from either Maple or Walnut the BaseStation puts your iPhone on display while it syncs and charges. It looks beautiful and the use of wood makes for a nice contrast to cold sharp lines of the iPhone.

The Horn Bike

I love this fun reinterpretation of the classic bike horn. Lots of fun possibilities for custom sounds or voices. The Horn Bike is an Eco-friendly silicone bicycle amplifier, features an adjustable strap to fit all bicycles and can be set in almost any angle.

"Using the principle of the bugle, concentrating the voice and direct the conduction direction in order to reach the effect of increasing the volume, it can increase 13 db after use and does not need any supplementary electricity, it is absolutely environmental friendly."

There are a number of different products which I think are pretty great as well including the horn stand and phone cell.
