The Glif iPhone 4 tripod mount and stand is both simple and useful. Still a concept, it appears this product will soon be a reality. Created to maximize the potential of the iPhone 4 as a media device and camera, it’s not the first attempt we’ve seen at adding a kickstand to the sleek phone. It is however, the only iPhone 4 accessory we’ve come across with a universal nut for tripods. Made from injection molded Santoprene (grade 101-87) hard rubber, you can count on this to be one sturdy stand. So how do you purchase a product that’s not even out? A $20 donation to the project not only helps fund its progress (they’ve already raised 200% more than they needed), but it also acts as a pre-order for the Glif. The Glif iPhone 4 Tripod Mount and Stand sells for $20 at www.kickstarter.com.
The Glif is cool but you do have to remove your phone from its protective case to use it. The company I work for (PC Treasures) sells a product for half the price of the Glif that allows you to leave your phone in its case and attach your phone to your tripod.
