Spider-Man Sacrfices His Face to Hold Your Cellphone in a Car
Poor Spidey. His disembodied head suction-cupped to your windshield, forced to hold your mobile devices with his face. That's no way for a superhero to go out. On the plus side though, this little plastic gadget will give you a unique place to store your cellphone while keeping it at eye level in case you receive a call. Plus, it will only set you back $17.

windowseat
This Griffin WindowSeat is a suction cup-based iPhone/iPod touch mount for your car, allowing you to keep your phone at eye level for easy map viewing and voicemail checking. What's left unsaid is how sturdy this thing is in case of an accident, and whether it will come careening off your window or dashboard into your face to make a comically iPhone-ish indentation on your cheek. Either way, it's $29.99, which isn't all that expensive for the ability to surf the internet while driving (kidding). [Griffin via PCWorld]

ZipHolder Zipper Holder Makes Pantsings Super Difficult
If you're anything like us, your zipper always has a hard time staying in the up position. Button fly jeans are a horrible solution, because you end up peeing all over yourself in an emergency. Enter the ZipHolder. It's a little elastic loop that attaches to the top of your zipper and hooks to your button. No more embarrassing exposure incidents during movies, job interviews and jury selection. How could we say no? [Zip Holder via Smart Stuff via Oh Gizmo via New Launches]
bananas
Yes, We Have Some Bananas, 'Cause We Saved Them With NANA Saver
Whole bananas just look after themselves in your fruit bowl until they go all brown and spotty. But if your recipe calls for half a banana, then you know the spare hemibanana is going to go all gooshy really fast and you'll end up binning it. That's where NANA Saver comes in, with its pincer-like action grabbing onto the end of your bisected fruit and protecting it with a little sealing plate, keeping it fresh from the air. Simple, and only $2.98. Or you just could eat the other half. I'm just saying. [Product via Nerd Approved]
dlo
Using a car's AC vents to hold cellphones is an old idea. Using a car's AC vent to hold an iPhone so you can watch movies/Cover Flow your way through your music is a new idea. DLO's VentMount seems like an incredibly practical way to keep your iPhone/iPod Touch within short reach, especially in cars (like ours) that don't have a convenient cupholder location to shove it into. It's not mindblowing, but it's $24.99 we'd gladly spend for usability's sake. [DLO]

holster
Nurses and Doctors rejoice: you can now buy Crocs for your cellphone! Ok, so the Crocs "O-Dial" [sic] is actually a shoe-themed cellphone holster, but it is official. Why your phone would enjoy the lightness, comfiness... um, waterproofness and stain-proofness of those lovely rubbery, resinous shoes is another matter, though. Oh — its got raised inside surfaces to protect device screens, and an adapter so you can use it to store credit cards? Ah yes, we understand now. It's a marketing thing. And yet, cunning Giz reader, what better uses could you put your croc holsters to?

Disc Holder Has a Strong Pimp Hand
If you have any DVDs, HD DVDs, Blu-ray Discs or even some old-timey CDs lying around that are in desperate need of a bizarre storage solution, look no further than the Art of Hand Stand Disc Holder. It doesn't do much beyond what you see here, but it will definitely add an interesting look to any desktop or home theater. [Product Page]
torture that red guy
If you're not quite heartless enough for that Voodoo Knife Holder, the poor guy who gets continuously stabbed in five places with various knives (remember him? There he is on the lower right), here's a tricky alternative: Throwzini's Knife Block, which causes no apparent harm to the hapless red dude. Store the five included stainless steel knives in a tortured sort of peace, each mercifully missing the red guy, who's this time strapped onto a spinning Wheel of Death. Pricing wasn't announced yet, but expect it to show up soon on the Urban Trend website. [Urban Trend]

design
This Candle Holdem USB holder is one of those designs that really isn't necessary, but is so cool we'd go out of our way to make use of them. It's essentially a key hook set for your USB drives that holds five and lights up when they're plugged in. Plug in all five and you've got a makeshift candleabra, which we first thought were little space invaders. If anyone ever made something like this, we'd be on it faster than Master Chief on Cortana (if she were real). [Yanko Design]

Peltier USB Can Cooler/Heater is a Cup Holder Too
The Peltier USB Can Cooler/Heater will make drinks frosty or toasty, and hold onto them as well. You would think this feature would come standard, but sadly very few are actually functional cup holders. We've seen precarious tray designs, a fridge mock-up (which, while it does technically hold your drink, doesn't provide the easy access a cup holder should), and some other interesting ideas, too. Despite looking like a big blob of plastic with an area for a cup punched into it, this one's cup-holding prowess gets the USB Can Cooler/Heater an easy thumbs-up. More »

NES Controller Business Card Holder: It's Cooler Than the Belt Buckles
I have way too many business cards from press events, and right now I just have them lying in a stack on my desk. This Perler Bead-constructed NES controller card holder is exactly what I need, if only because I always need more Nintendo paraphernalia. Also good for holding Game Boy e-Reader cards. $10, but sold out for now. More »

Femur Bone Pen Holder
Still stumped on what to get that orthopedic doctor in your life? How about a pen-holding femur bone? The femur bone is one of the best bones in the body because of it's size and durability, and now it can be the perfect accessory on your desk. Sit it on the desk, fill it up with pens, tell every sucker that asks that it is a real bone and then proceed to slap them in the face. More »

The Ring With More Fruit and Less Scary Japanese Lady
We're not sure what kind of person (or family) needs to keep a stock of 20 apples, oranges, and what could be limes in their home, but this Ring design seems to satisfy your crazy craving for produce. Fresh fruit goes in at the top, and less fresh fruit comes out the bottom. A cool design, but unless you plan on becoming a full-fledged fruitarian like Steve Jobs was, you probably want to stick with the less demanding fruit holders. More »

USB Memo Holder, Why?
This USB Memo Holder is really just a glorified USB extension cable, but who am I kidding, crazy USB peripherals will sell, including this one. It does light up when a memo is placed, which can be convenient for the forgetful types. An additional USB port is on the backside for plugging in useful gadgets. More »

Blinking Cellphone Holder is Ironically Useful
This SIGNAL blinking cellphone holder is the perfect device for that super-silent office with the most uptight employees. Place the cellphone in the cup, turn it to silent mode and the cup will flash lights when a call is coming in. It is ironic because the ringing will no longer piss off the cubicle neighbors, but I'm sure answering the phone and talking about how completely obliterated you got the night before is perfectly okay with Sally in accounting. $21.

Latest by bsoft: Brad - GSM networks in the US operate on two bands, 850 and 1900. T-Mobile is 1900-only, ATT/Cingular is 850/1900. Europe uses 900/1800, which is why you see quad-band phones that support 850/900/1800/1900. Note that T-Mobile is deploying UMTS/HSDPA (3G) in the more »
