Gramophone iPhone Amplifier Case Also Functions as a Stand
Batteries are not included because they are not needed. The Bone Horn Stand is an unpowered phonograph-inspired iPhone case and stand which amplifies your device’s sound up to 12 decibels, simply by channeling the audio through the horn. The silicon-based amp slips over your iPhone like any other case, but gives it an audio boost and a dash of old-timey style in the process. The case’s design also allows the phone to lay comfortably in both horizontal or vertical orientations.... Continue reading
Electronic Rock Guitar T-Shirt is Actually Playable
This t-shirt has a completely playable guitar built right in, including a mini-amp which you can strap to your belt. Strum by waving the included magnetic pick over the frets.

Coffee Cups Are The New Black
Earlier, Ryan spotted some DIY speakers made from paper cups and a pair of headphones. Now Arms22 is one-upping designer Dimitry Zagga with speakers made from Starbucks cups.

Talent Show Kit Provides More Fuel For Family Snorefest
Family night in my home usually meant a pizza dinner and a board game, but I’m sure other families would have more extravagant festivities, which possibly included nudity and chanting to Satan. While my family was never much for rituals, it would have been nice to have something like the Talent Show Kit. It’s a karaoke machine, a mic, and an amplifier all built into one mic stand-esque gadget. A removable mic allows the performer some roaming space as they... Continue reading
VoomPC-2 brings a fully functional PC into your dashboard
What’s not to love about super small form factor computers? The VoomPC-2 delivers the price that many other small form factor PCs havn’t been able to do yet. Unfortunately, it has to skimp on the features to do so. Luckly, they aren’t trying to sell this product for home media center usage. Their target market is the mid/high end car user who wants more tech up in the dash. Besides using up less power than a parking light, the VoomPC-2... Continue reading
