iPhone Case With Kickstand Acts As Tripod For Better Photo-Taking

Many of the iPhone 4 owners I know have pretty much given up using compact cameras, thanks to Apple’s superb camera. A Kickstarter project is trying to make those photos even better with a case that features a hidden kickstand.

Turn Your iPhone 4 Into A Video-Watching Monster With This Kickstand Battery Case

The iPhone isn’t ideal for watching videos for a long period, it drains battery and is uncomfortable. The iKit Nu Charge’s built-in battery and kickstand fix that.

The Glif is one impressive little piece of plastic. It can stand your iPhone 4 up in portrait mode. It can prop it up in landscape. And it has a built-in camera mount for attaching your iPhone to a tripod.

Dangle Or Prop Your Gadgets With The Munkey Mobile Device Stand

OK, Droid X. OK, Sprint Evo. You guys win. You have big, shiny screens that I would very much enjoy watching a movie on. But how to prop you up or hang you from a seat back? Ah! The Munkey.

VW’s Folding Bik.e: Because Two Spare Tyres Are Better Than One

Having a spare tyre in your trunk is good, sure, but having two is even better. Especially when they’re attached by a folding, pedal-free electric bike made by Volkswagen. A bike with a cool curvy frame. And two kickstands.
