DIY iPhone/iPod Dock Made From Notebook Clips

8:30PM John Herrman | If you’re still high from the thrill of bending out your own paperclip iPhone stand, now you can continue wasting your workplace’s time and office supplies with a dock made from notebook clips. It’ll only work with the default cable or accessories that use a similarly shaped plug, but the end result is a pretty slick little accessory — definitely better than the precarious original. The build process isn’t difficult but does take a little while, but with stuff like this that’s half the point. [MAKE] More »

The Paperclip iPhone/iPod Touch Stand

7:00AM Mark Wilson | If $US100 is just too much for you to pay for a homemade iPhone stand, then this paperclip version might be a better option. And to anyone who has ever paid more than 50 cents to hold any pocket electronic, hopefully this fan-made pwnage will keep your money in your pocketbook/child savings accounts next time.

USBFever Reinvents iPhone 3G SIM-Eject Tool, Sells it for US$3

1:15AM Kit Eaton | When Apple reinvented the paperclip for the famous SIM-eject tool, it was at least a free gizmo, included in the package. USBFever clearly thought there was a gap in this market though, and have reinvented the reinvention. The new SIM-eject tool has a rubber-bung top that allows it to be stored in your iPhone 3G’s headphone socket ready to be whipped out at a moment’s notice when you need to change the SIM card. Probably only for really frequent SIM-swappers who don’t use headphones, though, since it will cost you US$3. [USBFever] More »

Paperclip Lamp Holds Giant Rent Checks

5:40AM Jason Chen | Out of all the office supplies that could be made into lamps, the paperclip seems the most unusual. However, the way Ben Collette and David Wykes made this bendable paperclip into a lamp makes the whole idea work in a way we wouldn’t expect. Not only is it bendable, it’s posable as well. Our only concern would be that it doesn’t bend, bend, bend, and then break, like a real paperclip—which instead of a small cut would get you a large electrocution. [Mocoloco] More »
