Jan 20 2009Umm, Okay: Wooden Hand iPhone Holder
Looking for a $95 wooden iPhone holder that looks like a hand? Well look no further, you eccentric bastard you, here she blows!
This custom hand carved iPhone Holder is one-of-one worldwide! Wow you Apple loving friend with this ultra-exclusive accessory. The precise carving of this iPhone base realistically replicates the human hand. Compatible with Original iPhone and iPhone 3G for a very snug and precise fit. iPhone conveniently slides in and out vertically.
That's, uh....that's something. Not really my cup of tea, but that's just because I don't feel like lugging a giant wooden hand around in my pocket all day. I mean, I've got enough hand in my pocket as it is. And speaking of which -- two ball, change pocket.
Hit the jump for some closeups and a link to the Etsy product page.
Thanks to twellve, who doesn't even own an iPhone but still wants the holder.

Ah, how pointless.
2. Cameron - January 20, 2009 12:16 PM
Damn you Lathey, I wanted to be first! Cause I know how much known loves it when people get the first spot and say nothing but "FIRST!"
Sorry known, I tried.....

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene from the movie NEver Back Down where Max pulled a lit cigar out of his pocket and smoked it while fencing, and Baja got the phone handed to her by a hand in a box, that also used to fetch the mail and help tying knots.

I hear this is what happens to your hand when you touch yourself too much.
5. Cameron - January 20, 2009 12:25 PM
@4. SiGee - Close, but no. Actually, this happens to a different part of your body when you touch yourself too much.
6. known - January 20, 2009 12:30 PM
f***in Cameron.... I'm going to steal the 1st spot now for the rest of the day just so you can't be first :)
Sooo this is some native indian phone holder or what? Why?
#5 hehe, true that!
7. Cameron - January 20, 2009 12:35 PM
@6. known - I shall be FIRST!!!! And yes, it actually is a native AMERICAN (lol... native indian, that's funny) phone holder. It is the actual hand of a petrified Native American.

How completely ...dumb

I woudn't pay 95 cents for that piece of shit. It looks like something you'd see at a yard sale that someone's kid made in summer camp twenty years ago.

Hey, my gay friend Scott wanted to let you all know he has come out of the closet and hopes you will all accept him for who he is and not for his sexual preference. I know some people still have a hard time with that, but were all mature people, right?
11. known - January 20, 2009 12:46 PM
#10 You've become pretty close with Scott since contacting him yesterday about his gayness. Did you send him this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5i6BHBuqxE to inform him some people find out this way? Did you also call him a liar?

While I can appreciate the juxtaposition of placing a piece of cutting edge technology into a rustic, hand-hewn piece of organic material, it does not change the fact that this thing is BUTTUGLY.
Do Not Want!

@11. Yes, Known, we actually watched it together. It was very good. The video took just enought time for me to finish paging down on Max's post yesterday. He topped himself this morning on the Ninja Cat post.
Scott says he doesnt mind the attention from Max. Max was actually his first lover that convinced him to come out.

16. Jess - January 20, 2009 1:09 PM
That is so lame. I'll just use it as a... paperweight or a.. door stopper or a... baseball...

Um... "lame useless shit" day here on Geekologie huh?
19. Reissuer - January 20, 2009 1:28 PM
@18 There's gotta be something for the Repubs to look at while the Dems are out partying all day.
20. greg - January 20, 2009 2:09 PM
no, thanks
21. Cameron - January 20, 2009 2:12 PM
@14. Brayden - Thank you for making my day. I officially laughed harder than ever before.
22. Hand Solo - January 20, 2009 2:24 PM
You gotta hand it to this guy for coming up with such a handy holder hand-crafted handily from hardwood (s-hand-lewood?) Let's give him a hand.
23. Brayden - January 20, 2009 3:18 PM
@21 haha no problem. thought i'd share the hilarity with geekologie.
24. a - January 20, 2009 4:30 PM
that would be decently ok if he added a usb cord to charge it, but there's no point to a wooden hand that only holds your phone
25. Mr. Stratford - January 20, 2009 5:07 PM
Next someone will be making macrame holders. Why can't the 70s and 80s just stay dead?

Gay accessory for a gay product made by a gay company for gay people.
27. Horrible, just plain horrible. - January 21, 2009 12:10 PM
If I had parkinsons and arthritis and multiple sclerosis and was in a coma and was blind and had dyptheria and had never seen a hand before, I am pretty sure whatever i managed to carve would look 100% more like a hand, however it would be just as useless.
28. softlicious - January 21, 2009 12:26 PM
How convenient!!!
Now, whenever my phone rings, all I have to do is, take out my phone, take out the woden hand from my pocket, place the phone in the woden hand and then hold the woden hand with the phone close to my ear. Much easier than operating a conventional cellphone! After you're done you can shub it up yo ass and go f*** yourself f***ing spoiled apple brat!!! Unnecessary piece of shit! Wood=brown=shit!
