iBend iPhone and iPod touch stands are about as thick as two and a half sheets of paper and weigh in at less than one gram. They are small enough to easily fit into a wallet or even behind your iPhone's protective case. The basic clear iBend has been around for a little while now, so the company decided to add some aesthetic charm by offering 12 new artistic versions by three renowned artists.
The iBend Artist Series was designed by three different artists from New York, California, and Canada. Each artist was responsible for creating four different iBend designs (two per pack), which totals 12 new and unique designs. All 12 designs can be seen below.
Regular iBends come in two-packs and retail for $4.99 plus shipping, which is only $1 domestically. The Artist Series iBends also come in two-packs and retail for $7.99 plus shipping. You can save an extra $1 on the Artist Series by entering a promo code found in the FAQ section of their website.
Alright, so iBends may not be for everyone as I am sure some of you are sitting there wondering why you would pay that much for a little piece of plastic, but there is definitely a market for these things. As I have outlined once before, there is nothing worse than having to build a fort out of whatever you have available just to watch a movie on your iPhone or iPod touch while on a plane ride. If you aren't interested in plastic holders, you could always try the somewhat less portable and more expensive iPhone beanbag called the MovieWedge, or you can just risk the inevitable hand cramp after a two and a half hour film.
