iPhone Carabiner Clip Lets You Hang Your Phone Anywhere

Range — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:00:37 +0000

If you’re the kind of iPhoneographer or Instagramer that always needs quick access to their iPhone while on the go, then the iPhone Carabiner Clip might do the trick. It’s made in Japan by Poddities.

The iPhone Carabiner Clip will clip onto your utility belt or backpack without any problems. The clip comes with a leather strap. All you have to do is to secure it to the bottom of your iPhone 4/4S using a couple of tiny screws (screwdriver included) and you’re ready to hit the streets. You can also use it to hold your cell lenses, clip to a camera strap or hang your keys. Obviously, the latter option isn’t recommended unless you want to scratch up that shiny new iPhone.

I could also see it coming in handy to hang your phone from a tree branch or other sufficiently small bar as an impromptu camera stand.

And in case you’re wondering if you can still use the dock connector with the clip in place.

The iPhone Carabiner Clip sells for $30(USD) over at Photojojo.

Little Robot Clock Tells Time, Holds on to Your Stuff

I always dreamed of the day that I could have my own tiny little robotic army that hangs out on my desktop to do my bidding. While these little robot clock dudes don’t exactly do all of my bidding, they do tell the time, and they look good doing it.

The aptly named “Little Robot Clock” has tiny articulating joints with clips in place of hands so he can hang on to your notes and whatnot. Of course, you don’t have to use those clippy claws for good. They can also be used for staging tiny robot battles in your cubicle.

I bet you can’t buy just one. But then you may say “why do I need so many clocks on my desk”, and I respond “set them each to a different timezone and shut the f*ck up.” You can start building your own desktop robo-clock army for $20.50 (USD) each over at Brando.

Stick Your Nano to Yourself, but Good, With the Istik

The iStik is a gadget that uses strong magnets to stick your iPod to your clothing, because everyone knows that in this fast-paced world of ours, clips and armbands are just not cutting it.

The iStik is described as having eight “high tech, Neodynium magnets which create an extreme magnetic attraction.” There are versions available only for the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod nano. It appears to have been invented and brought to market by these attractive, well-tanned catalog models.

Here’s a video of a guy doing a bunch of bouncy tricks on a bicycle that is meant to prove that even if your workout includes riding up wooden stairs on a bike, no problem, iStik is there for you. (Since my “workout” usually consists of sitting on the couch while feeling bad about how I’m not working out, I don’t find it particularly relevant, but perhaps you will.)

You can buy one from the iStik website for around $25. I’d also like to mention that iStik is yet another product that uses that age-old naming equation lowercase i + capitalized word with extra consonants removed = gadget you may or may not need. Nice work, guys.
