The Griffin Elevator, which replaces and updates Griffin's iCurve, is now shipping. It's a desktop stand for laptop computers. Retailing at $40, it's just now hitting the shelves. TUAW reader Ray sends along this link to his Flickr collection of unpacking pictures. I'm surprised by how well the final product ended up looking. I thought it would be a lot less elegant given how the redesign got rid of the originals' curves, but it's really quite attractive.
We blogged about a possible update to Griffin's iCurve in October, but now it looks official. The Elevator seems to be the iCurve's less curvy replacement. It does the same thing, that is lift up your laptop and make it even with an external display, but it does it with a new style.
Not all visitors of the NYC 5th Avenue Apple Store are having the retail experience of their lives, as one group of customers were trapped in the glass elevator for 45 minutes. Ultimately, the hydraulic lines had to be leaked in order to lower the elevator down to the store where the NYPD had to pry the doors open. Store employees who were looking for a fix before the boys in blue arrived were able to lower water bottles down into the elevator.
