Bluelounge’s MiniDock is a tiny L-shaped adapter that turns your existing iPhone or iPad charger into a plug-mounted iPhone stand. it lets you charge your iPhone or iPod in any socket you like, without having to leave it laying vulnerable on the floor.
The MiniDock plugs straight onto the USB port of the Apple adapter you already have, and offers up a 30-pin dock connector and a nice, laid-back cradle for the iDevice. it also comes with three spacers of different thicknesses so that back of the device has something to lean against, whether it’s a skinny iPod touch, a thick iPhone 4 in a case or a teeny little Nano.
The $20 adapter comes in three versions, fitting the various iPod chargers of the U.S, the EU and the UK. this is somewhat confusing, as the U.S version will work with iPad adapters from all countries. The best thing to do is take a look at the photos before you order.
And remember, you can always make a free version with an old shampoo bottle.
