The Pinhead is a dock made for your [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-linestand) or [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod) that is one of the most humorous smartphone docks I've ever seen. This dock fits for both 30-pin and 8-pin iPhone models. The dock base has the body of a little white cartoon figure that sits perfectly on your desk. This Pinhead has arms and legs that give your iPhone some visual character when sitting on the dock.

Your iPhone can be charged in style with an interesting look that is also humorous. It's priced at $19.95 on the ilovehandles website where you can order it directly. If you're looking for an interesting gift idea for a fellow co-worker or friend who enjoys office humor, these smartphone docks are the perfect accessory for their needs.
