Instead of having piles of cable stranded across the room when you’re charging your mobile, this station sits between your powerpoint and your charger and offers cable management and a holder for your phone while charging.

Griffin WindowSeat Holds Your iPhone/iPod Touch at Eye Level For Convenient Viewing, Face Hitting
5:00AM Jason Chen | This Griffin WindowSeat is a suction cup-based iPhone/iPod touch mount for your car, allowing you to keep your phone at eye level for easy map viewing and voicemail checking. What’s left unsaid is how sturdy this thing is in case of an accident, and whether it will come careening off your window or dashboard into your face to make a comically iPhone-ish indentation on your cheek. Either way, it’s US$29.99, which isn’t all that expensive for the ability to surf the internet while driving (kidding). [Griffin via PCWorld] More »

ZipHolder Zipper Holder Makes Pantsings Super Difficult
10:15AM Jason Chen | If you’re anything like us, your zipper always has a hard time staying in the up position. Button fly jeans are a horrible solution, because you end up peeing all over yourself in an emergency. Enter the ZipHolder. It’s a little elastic loop that attaches to the top of your zipper and hooks to your button. No more embarrassing exposure incidents during movies, job interviews and jury selection. How could we say no? [Zip Holder via Smart Stuff via Oh Gizmo via New Launches] More »

Crocs Now Making Shoe-Themed Mobile Phone Holsters
3:49AM Gizmodo US Edition | Hooray, you can now buy Crocs for your mobile! Ok, so the Crocs “O-Dial” [sic] is actually a shoe-themed mobile holster, but it is official. Quite why your phone would enjoy the lightness, comfiness… um, waterproofness and stain-proofness of those lovely rubbery, resinous cayman shoes, we’re not sure though. Oh — its got raised inside surfaces to protect device screens, and an adapter so you can use it to store credit cards? Ah yes, we understand now: it’s a marketing thing. And yet, cunning Giz reader, what better uses could you put your croc holsters to? More »

The Loo Read Helps You Concentrate on the Task at Hand
3:19AM Seamus Byrne | Although we don’t usually read the newspaper on the crapper, this Loo Read is a fantastic idea for people who do. It’s an extendible shelf that gives you a sturdy platform for reading papers or books, and can even sustain your arm for writing if you don’t push down too hard. Hopefully these things are strong enough to support lightweight laptops—though it doesn’t seem like they are—so we may have to stick to playing with our Pokeballs while we’re on the toilet. What? We’re talking about the new DS game. – Jason Chen Product page [LazyBoneUK via Nerd Approved] More »

NES Controller Business Card Holder: It’s Cooler Than the Belt Buckles
8:16AM Seamus Byrne | I have way too many business cards from press events, and right now I just have them lying in a stack on my desk. This Perler Bead-constructed NES controller card holder is exactly what I need, if only because I always need more Nintendo paraphernalia. Also good for holding Game Boy e-Reader cards. $10, but sold out for now. – Matt Buchanan Nintendo NES Controller Perler Bead Business Card Holder [Etsy via Kotaku] More »

Mr P Tape Dispenser Turns your Desk into a Weird Place
10:26PM Seamus Byrne | There’s something a bit fetishy about this Mr P tape dispenser, but I can’t quite put my finger on why he looks so odd. Perhaps it’s because, with the tape stretched between his mouth and his toes it looks like he’s biting the sheet. Which must mean there’s something unspeakable going on beneath the covers. And I don’t want to find out exactly what that is. Or he’s got an unfeasibly long tongue, in which case some of you office workers will be itching to get your hands on him. Mr P comes in black, white, blue and green and he will cost you $25. Mr P tape dispenser at your dispense [Gizmodiva] More »

The End of the World is Nigh: Cellphone Bed
10:10PM Seamus Byrne | Do you ever worry that you have been overworking your cellphone? Yes, thought so. And since we’re not allowed to send them away on holiday (just think of the chaos an unaccompanied cellphone would provoke on a plane, I’m seeing the movie posters already, dang) then perhaps the least we can do is buy them a bed that they can rest their weary antennae on. This cellphone bed from Fred Flare is a snip at just $9.99. It comes with a pair of slippers that you can use as a screen cleaner, but the bad news is that it has sold out. Shame. I was going to buy one for every single one of my little gadgets—iPod, memory stick, electric toothbrush—and I was going to line them up and then, just like Snow White, I was going to give them all a good-night kiss before lights-out. And then the nice orderly with the rough bedside manner was going to give me my shots, loosen my straitjacket and lock me in for the night. – Ad Dugdale Product Page [FredFlare via Crave] More »

BolsiPlus: Add Pockets To Anything (Verdict: Please Don’t)
10:30AM Seamus Byrne | If looking at the news gives you the idea that the world is going to hell and the Apocalypse is about to break loose on Earth, look no further. What you hear is the noise of thunder and the trumpet-playing beast, because we have found the definitive proof: Behold, the BolsiPlus. BolsiPlus are sticky pockets. Yes, they are pockets, they stick, they made every surface fugly useful. And thanks to NASA’s Apollo program and the genius of Ilde Irun, its inventor, these pockets can attach to any surface known to mankind: just stick that Velcro strip to your laptop, fridge, wall, door, car seat, PlayStation 3, nuclear submarine or favorite tiger-pattern thong. And as you can see in the gallery, they come in all kinds of fabrics and decorations. There’s even a Wall Street Journal model, perfect to put Walter Mossberg’s exclusive pre-production iPhone in his exclusive pre-production next generation Santa Rosa MacBook. You can even send your own photo. A video demonstrating its hundred billion uses (not safe for work, play or life) after the jump. galleryPost('bolsiplus', 4, 'bolsiplus'); More »
