Combining the best of the digital and analog worlds of photography, this Polaroid iPhone dock concept allows users to print their favorite snapshots on-the-go from their phones.
Mac Funamizu, the multi-talented designer who conceived this creative add-on, wasn't content with simply having to print photos. Adding a modern twist, users can print QR codes onto the back of their photos, which link to a URL where the photo can be found on the web. If you'd like to geo-tag your photos, you may also print out a map of where the photo was actually taken. Though not photo-related, the Polaroid iPhone dock concept also acts as protective casing, which isn't a necessary feature, but welcomed nonetheless.
If you're looking to relive the glory days of Polaroid picture taking, this Polaroid iPhone dock concept may just be what you've been waiting for.
