If Batman had an iPhone he'd want this

Bruce Wayne has more than enough money to throw down on an official Apple iPhone dock, but citizens like us might be looking for a cheaper solution. London-based designer Courenay Inchbald of Seskimo has come up with one that not only costs less than a gallon of gas ($4), but also manages to fit in your wallet too. Called the "BatRest," it's a piece of cut plastic that folds up like a picture frame to cradle your shiny new toy phone.

Owners of the previous-generation iPhone can pick up the far more masculine-sounding BullRest, which has slightly different shaped prongs on the end that keep the rounder, less-tapered phone from flying off of airline seatback tables and desks.
