What a fun way to keep better track of your cords. Stop confusing and losing your white Apple cords with the iPhone Charger Sticker Faces Set. Designed by Sativa Turner, just stick these vinyl labels on your various iPhone/iPod/iPad cord and you’ll know which is which instantly. And more whimsically. Look at those tongues- aaaaahhhhaahaha. They also come in solid color versions too:
What’s cool is that if you have multiple types of cords, like say an iPad and an iPhone 5, you can figure out which cord it is from either end- even the otherwise identical USB side! Each pack comes with 4 sets of precision die-cut labels, one label in each color for both ends of your USB cords, the wall adapter and your earphones. You can even mix and match. Made in the USA.

Griffin MouthStick Stylus Makes Tablets Accessible
Using an iPad can be an incredibly useful tool but for those with limited mobility in their arms it might as well be a television. The Griffin MouthStick Stylus is a mouth held stylus with a conductive rubber tip that lets the motor disabled use touchscreen interfaces on smartphones and tablet devices, the keys on laptop keyboards, and Apple’s Magic Trackpad.
What makes the Griffin MouthStick unique compared to other mouthsticks is the flexible gooseneck shaft. Most other ones are a straight stick design. The user can adjust the tip to an angle that’s most natural and comfortable. Everything is hygienic (BPA-free removable y-shaped mouthpiece, food grade stainless steel) and designed for maximum user comfort, stability and control. The MouthStick was just announced and will be available sometime in the Spring at a reasonably price of $29.99.

Chisel iPhone Dock is Carved from Wood
Check out this stylish minimalist wooden Chisel Dock, designed by iSkelter. Each one is handcrafted from renewable bamboo and has a cutout that perfectly fits your iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5, or iPad mini in either portrait or landscape mode. There’s a hole cutout behind the phone so you can pop out the phone.
The cord sits neatly in it’s own groove so it won’t get tangled. What I like about this dock is that it actually looks really good even when the phone isn’t in it. I’m sure someone who is handy with power (or hand) tools could carve out something pretty similar themselves but since it costs just $39 ($59 the iPad version) it’s not so outrageous that you have to go that route.

iPotty: iPad Holding Potty Seat
As we straddle the ever shifting border between genius and gross we come upon the CTA Digital iPotty for iPad
The stand rotates 360° for horizontal or vertical viewing of your iPad. And by “your” iPad, we mean your kid’s iPad because do you want it back now? Like a regular potty, it has a removable inner bowl, seat and a splashguard. Also has a clip-on seat to convert to an iPad activity seat (although technically as a potty seat, it is an “activity seat”- just a different type of activity). It’s good training for when they grow up and do the exact same thing on a real toilet. Begins shipping March 2013.
(thanks to the Michelle from River Bottom Video for the tip!)

Wood iPad Retro Television Dock
Check out this fantastic iPad dock from Valliswood. Designed to look like an old TV complete with dials and rabbit ears (remember dials?! you actually had to get up to change the channel) but with a slot to hold your iPad. A hole in the fold-down rear panel lets you run the charging cord through it. Handmade by a craftsman named Mario in Croatia from local trees- old stumps, broken or parted logs- none are from living trees. Beautiful.

TonSchrein v. 2.0: Insane 4 Foot Tall Gothic iPad Speaker Dock
He’s baaaaaaack. Do you remember a few months back when Georg Dinkel created a ridiculously ornate iPad dock? Well now he’s one-upped himself with a nearly 4 foot tall Gothic Medieval skyscraper of an iPad speaker dock. Yes that’s an iPad dock, check out the iPad on the closeup:
Inside is a 2-way 25 watt speaker system in the bottom part, LED lighting, and a Lightning connector to plug in the iPad. This thing is made of polymer clay, wood, metal powders, metal leaf, acrylic stone, and a whole lot of creativity (and presumably time too). Here’s the backside.
There’s a bit more info on his website, along with a video interview with Georg (in German, so hopefully you speak it, otherwise you can just see the imagery). Amazing work. Can’t wait to see version 3.
