iClooly: make your iPod into a baby iMac

Posted Jun 2nd 2008 2:00PM by Joshua Ellis
Filed under: Accessories, iPod Family

This is the cutest damned thing I've seen in a while. The iClooly, from Japanese manufacturer RockRidgeSound, is a stand for your iPod Touch that makes it look like a lil' baby iMac -- and, as a side effect, serves as an actual useful way to watch movies on your iPod Touch without having to get your greasy mitts all over it.

The iClooly even pivots 90º for landscape/portrait swapping goodness and has a dock connection inside. It'll be ¥4,980 (roughly $47) when it hits the streets June 7th.

Ergotron Neo-Flex Combo Lift Stand

Posted Apr 26th 2008 2:30PM by Mat Lu
Filed under: Accessories, Portables

Jason Snell over at Macworld got his hands on an interesting new notebook stand: the Ergotron Neo-Flex Combo Lift Stand. What's different about it is that it not only holds the notebook, like the Griffin Elevator I use, but also includes a VESA mount for an external LCD display. By having the notebook platform and the VESA mount on a single base the Neo-Flex lets you put your laptop screen right next to your external display for a relatively seamless multi-display setup. And since everything is on one base it frees up desk space for your keyboard and mouse.

Of course there's a price to be paid for this convenience and stylishness: $179. Nonetheless, this looks like one of the slickest setups out there for using a Mac portable together with an external monitor.

DIY iPod mini/nano dock with K'Nex

Posted Dec 6th 2006 5:00PM by Erica Sadun
Filed under: iPod Family, How-tos

A few days back, TUAW brought you the lego laptop stand. Today, we bring you the K'Nex iPod dock. The always fascinating and wacky Instructables website has posted a tutorial for building your own mini- and nano-compatible dock. The steps are a bit "here's the picture, go build it yourself" rather than providing a part list and actual instructions, but it doesn't look all that hard to duplicate.

When built, the iPod rests at a comfortable 45-degree angle in the dock which uses the standard included-in-the-iPod-box sync cable. The author also posted a picture of a 90-degree upright version of the dock.

Griffin iCurve 2 on its way?

Posted Oct 6th 2006 3:00PM by David Chartier
Filed under: Accessories, Hardware, Rumors



I know the iCurve isn't exactly at the top of the rumor mongering lists, but reader GillyGill noticed that Amazon has - again - leaked details on yet another unreleased product: Griffin Technology's iCurve 2 (either someone is really screwing up over there, or Amazon has launched a new We Leak™ marketing service). Since customer affinity for these stands can sometimes match (at least by ratio) Mac users' love for their machines, I figured this slip was worth a post, especially since Griffin's site mentions nothing other than the original version is out of stock.

Amazon says the iCurve 2 should be available October 1st, but *something* is telling me that didn't quite happen; maybe it's just the lack of any kind of 'buy now' button and that it's already the 6th. I guess iCurve lovers will have to wait for everyone to get on the same page.

iSkin releases Claro case for 5G iPods with belt clip/kick stand

Posted Jun 26th 2006 5:00PM by David Chartier
Filed under: Accessories, Hardware, Software


Now here is one of the more interesting and functional 5G iPod cases I've seen in a while: a clear plastic case with a belt clip that doubles as a kick stand. This iSkin Claro easily shows up my clear agent18 case, but the $39 sticker price is a tad steep. If a plain clear case doesn't get your credit card numbers flowing, iSkin also provides Claro slims, 3-packs of colored skins for $20 USD that can spice up any oh-so-yesterday black or white 5G iPod. Oh, and don't forget to spend an extra $20 to succumb to your accessorizing obsession with iSkin CERULEAN XLR Bass Enhancing Stereo Earphones, with eight color choices to make sure you get as far away from Apple's trademark white as possible.

The iSkin Claro is available at present only for 30 GB 5G iPods and can be had at iSkin's site.
