Skin-Changing Smartphone Stands

The Moboto iPhone Dock Transforms Phones into Robot Minions

The Moboto iPhone dock is a fundamentally different and cute way to customize your iPhone. Shaped like a little robot with movable arms, the dock spot for your phone allows your iPhone (or iPad) to act as the ‘head’ of the robot. The study zinc base comes with a program that allows you to choose different digital screen-savers so that your previously uber-boring iPhone may boast, for example, a fiery cyclops eye. There are many different configurations that the robot base may assume, as the bottom bit twists off, allowing for the figurine to transform.

Coupled with the different emotions and animations, the Moboto features a plethora of different personas. If you so wished, you could turn your cyclops monster into a flower pot! Apple gave the iPhone a voice, but the Moboto dock gives Siri the body.
