TidyTilt Stand: The Smart Cover for iPhones

Have you ever wanted to mount your iPhone on your fridge? Or shrink your Smart Cover to work with your iPhone? Now you can do both thanks to TidyTilt. The stand part of this accessory is interesting, but what I find the most novel are that the magnets of the cover are strong enough so that you can mount your iPhone onto any magnetically-responsive surface.

It’s a multi-purpose cover that doubles as a kickstand, earphone cord manager, and iPhone mount. It’s definitely an interesting accessory, though it will undoubtedly interfere with your favorite case.

TidyTilt was part of a successful Kickstarter campaign, and is now available in stores for iPhone 4 and 4S. It sells from TT Design Labs for $29.95(USD) in six different colors. It’s also available on Amazon and other online retailers.
