Stretchy Shapes, a company capitalizing on the inexplicable success of Silly Bandz, has created their newest line of gadget bands! Who wouldn't want to wear a silicone bracelet shaped like their favorite gizmos? iPods, cameras, iPads, laptops... Stretchy Shapes lets you wear anything your geeky wrist can hold.
Stretchy Shapes has jumped into the tween craze that I like to compare to Pogs or baseball cards, and has created a product that might even hit home with some older techies. Now everyone is going to have to think twice when someone says they have the iPad, iPod nano, iTouch or iPhone... Thanks Stretchy Shapes!
