19 Weird And Wonderful Ways To Hold Your iPhone In Place

Wow.  Is this the craziest thing you've ever seen, or what?  An iPhone docking station that looks like a slice of bread.  With a bite taken out of it.  Clearly the work of someone who's (a) very creative and/or (b) has WAAAAY too much time on their hands.
The bottom line is, there really are a ton of iPhone docks out there.  Some commercial, with lots of value-added bells, whistles, and gongs.  Others hand-made, low-tech, quick and dirty, and just as effective in the long run.  And in the end, all serve the same purpose: hold your iDevice in place while it charges and syncs.
Let's help you to choose a dock that will perfectly suit your needs and way of life.  Here you will find absolutely unique, creative and even crazy ideas for iPhone docks that will impress you, both in terms of usability and distinctive look. The right dock will greatly compliment your work table or home interior design, as well as simplifying your life.
