Cutting Board Device Holders

The BaseStation for iPhone 4 Provides a Snug Place for Smartphones

— November 18, 2011 — Tech
The BaseStation for iPhone 4 case provides a safe haven for a person’s precious smartphone when the time comes to charge it. For some, throwing it willy nilly on a table, couch or bed to charge just doesn’t cut it. So instead, this chopping board-like holder will provide a much appreciated alternative.

Designed by Hacoa, who brought us the wooden Animal USB, and sold by Japanese online marketplace Rakuten, the BaseStation for iPhone 4 case is a stunning wooden holder that adds instant class to any surrounding. It sports a sturdy stand and an exact cutout of the iPhone 4 (including the charger cord) so that it rests neatly and safely in its grasp.

Available in either maple or walnut wood, the BaseStation for iPhone 4 case is as practical as it is good-looking.
