A very long three years ago, one of the very first appcessories we ever saw was this crazy-looking hardware clock that mimicked a virtual clock on the face of the iPhone. Whee! Yeah, we weren’t too impressed either. But these guys have the right idea about how to make the iPhone a better clock: add a massive snooze button.
Distil Union hatched the Snooze from its Kickstarter icubator today, and the thing actually looks like a nifty idea. It’s simply a wooden stand for the iPhone 4/S/5, so you can see the time, with a rubber top that doubles as a big, impossible-to-miss snooze button.
Of course, the Snooze isn’t an appcessory; the big snooze button simply smacks the volume button, which activates the snooze function on most alarm clock apps (including the iPhone’s native Clock app and Distil Union’s free Snooze app).
