Apple Thoughts: Crabbie, When Paperclips Just Don't Cut It Anymore

"Have you ever tried watching a video on your iPhone or iPod touch and thought to yourself: "Man, I sure wish I had a stand that could hold up my i-device for me"? Maybe you were at a coffee shop or on an airplane and needed two free hands, or maybe you're simply an enthusiastic thumb twiddler. Either way, a company called Seskimo was reading your mind, but just this once, it's okay."

I have never, to be honest, needed anything like this but I thought it was an interesting device, especially since I've seen some workarounds made out of paperclips. If someone was going to all that trouble to make one out of paperclips, this might be something they would find useful. It comes in a variety of colors and is very compact, so perhaps the price of $5.00 USD is worth it, especially if you are going through boxes of paperclips to enhance your viewing pleasure.

And if this one doesn't suit you, there is always the iZel, but that one will set you back $25.00 USD.
