This boombox was created by Instructables user MTriest using MDF wood and a layer of clear acrylic sandwiched in-between as its primary construction materials. The design was created for a production class using a ShopBot CNC router as well as a laser cutter. The design can be easily modified to work with other cell phones and tablets, but it looks pretty nice on an iPhone as shown – though I wish it had stereo sound.

The step-by-step build process is described in detail over at Instructables and MTriest proposes ways of modifying his design so that almost anyone could build this at home without need for those fancy computer-controlled tools.

Created by the guys over at Brazil’s Meninos design (the same guys who make these awesome hard drives), these icon coasters are a great gift for any iPhone addict. All your favorite applications are there, from Maps to Calculator, from iPod to Settings. Ah, Settings.

Each coaster measures 85mm square (about 3.34″) and is made from sturdy MDF plywood, then wrapped with a premium vinyl decal and durable varnish to protect the design. A thin rubber layer on the bottom keeps the coasters from slipping around.

Sets of 16 coasters retail for $60 USD over at the Meninos online shop. Personally, I’m looking forward to when they open up the Coaster App Store.
