Violight goes ultraviolent on your gadgets, leaves germ corpses in its wake

Violight goes ultraviolent on your gadgets, leaves germ corpses in its wake

Violight has been in the business of UV-based germicide since way back in 2004, but now it's bringing its wares closer to our geeky hearts. Its new Cell Phone Sanitizer will nuke 99 percent of all germs and bacteria slithering around your phone or MP3 player, and it'll do it in under 5 minutes too. Or such is the claim, anyhow. Alternative applications for this ultra-versatile product include using it as gift packaging or as a display stand in stores -- you've got to love that added value right there. Some patience will be required before you lay down $49.95 for your very own UV zapper, as Violight's Sanitizer isn't hitting the market until at least October.

iBend is an iPhone Stand in your Pocket

iBend is an iPhone Stand in your Pocket

You've got to love the simplicity of the iBend. This rigid vinyl iPhone stand is so slim you can fit it in your wallet, purse, or even your iPhone's case. Remove it, and you've got a convenient way to prop up your iPhone for a little video viewing. It also works with the iPod Touch and the Nexus One.



As you can see on the iBend site, it comes in some attractively designed patterns. The price is a low $4.99, and that's for two iBends, so it's nice to see an iPhone accessory that doesn't price gouge. If you've ever been sitting at a coffee shop or on a plane and wished you could prop your iPhone up while you watch a movie, then it's $5 well spent.
