The Artist Series designs are by Michael Bartalos, Joshua Davis, and MEOMI and they look pretty cool, but the whole light and thin aspect of the iBend cases makes them seem completely flimsy and useless, despite being the supposed appeal:

Weighing in at less than 1 gram and thinner than a few sheets of paper, the iBend is the most travel-friendly iPhone and iPod touch solution for hands-free viewing and sharing on-screen mobile entertainment in the landscape position. When not in use, just slip it in your wallet or behind any protective case for quick storage and easy access.

The Artist Series and the iBend Classic come two to a pack and "can be purchased for $7.99 and $4.99, respectively." Seems a bit silly to waste that on a rolled up piece of plastic, but even I'm kinda tempted by the funky mustache donning one. [iBend]

Personally, I just prop my iPhone up against a pillow to watch something while lying down. But I'd love to see what else you crazy, clever people can come up with. Post your creations in the comments and I'll put together a gallery. [Recombu]

After a long day of walking around, all we wanted to do was watch a good movie. I came up with this iphone holder from hangers I found in the closet and a plastic wrap. It worked perfectly!

At least, that's what he is saying. Maybe he just wanted to free his hands for other uses. [Thanks Bosharp]

As you can see, the clip in on the back of the case is the heart of the iCooly. It can be rotated and positioned for carrying or standing horizontally/vertically on a flat surface. The case comes in a variety of colors and can be purchased now for around $33. [Maximobileshop via Likecool via Geeky Gadgets]
