Bean Bag iPhone Stand Strains Credulity

We thought $5 was pretty much a rip-off for the iBend plastic iPhone stand, though readers took us to task in comments on that story back in December.

So maybe you’ll love the idea of a $10 bean-bag, or as the makers of this cloth sack filled with airy polyester nuggets likes to call it — the Movie Wedge. The soft microsuede covering is also perfect for wiping your iPhone’s screen!

On the other hand, with thanks to Gizmodo’s Jack Loftus, we can point you to this bean bag, which you could pick up for a buck.

Your choice.

    thats a pretty sad review of the product…and not fair to the makers at all

    either Macworld.com or TUAW did an actual review recently of this item and gave very good feedback and also included another iphone stand competitor in the review

    i think this is in poor taste for such a great mac site to be giving such a negative review and not even reviewing the product

    my 2 cents

    What’s worse, the idea that some fools will buy this, or that some other fools decided to release it during a huge recession?

    Wow. What a review. It doesnt mention any charactaristics of function, materials, or aesthetics. Maybe you can point me in the direction of a seemingly equivalent phone also. Maybe a Blackberry Storm. Pretty much the same thing as an iPhone, right?!?
