DIY Lego iPhone dock




Here’s the DIY Lego iPhone dock by Steven Combs! Well, using his hands and some Lego bricks, Steven has created an iPhone dock that rotates 90 degrees flat or upright. I must admit, the final product has come out really well. There are only a handful of people, with such nimble hands, that make a DIY stand at par with products on the market.

Check out the video inside.

Moss – Speakers that adapts to the versatility of its user




Moss by Florian Brillet and David Letellier, is a modular audio system (speakers) that adapts to the versatility of its user. In simple words, one can arrange the triangular modules as per his/her likings.
A different design, time to time, will increase the lifespan of the product, which otherwise is prone to replacement when something bigger and better comes along. Sadly, there are no details about the product (at the time of writing).

papercraft speakers crank out modern tunes in retro form




Each one of these miniature speaker kits from Japan’s Princeton is a DIY papercraft project. You’ll need glue, scissors, and X-Acto to assemble these models for yourself (assembly manual here). There’s three different designs to choose from, including a red boom box, a bookshelf stereo and an old cabinet hi-fi system.

For those of you in Japan, you can order from Princeton Direct for ¥1980 each. Worldwide orders are available from the Japan Trend Shop for $35 (USD) each.

wrap your gadgets in vintage comics



Here’s a new and different idea for a DIY iPod case: use pages of old comics. A little masking tape, a few pages of killer images, and the ability to cut a straight line with scissors is all it took to assemble this chic custom case.
The blue-tinted case, shown above, was the first, made from a found box of vintage French comics. The black-and-white case? That was the second project by Craftster member julibooli, who found the first project so easy that she immediately followed it up by repeating the process for a friend. I wish more of my friends would make me gadget cases from nifty artwork. Or that they could use scissors.

Kymera Magic Wand functions as universal remote


The Kymera Magic Wand can be flicked up or down in order to change the channel. If you need the volume up or down you turn it in a clockwise motion. It has a total of 13 “magical functions” in order to perform actions on your TV.

The wand is battery powered and they’re kind enough to actually include the batteries for once. As of now this isn’t out, but don’t worry, it is coming soon. You can currently pre-order this. In order to do that you’ll have to pay a deposit of £10 or about $17.

All together the wand will cost you £49.95 or about $83.

Life is fun,exciting.Just go with it.
