The iRetrofone Steampunk for iPhone

Filed under: Gadgets

This is one of the first iRetrofone designs I've seen where the iPhone actually blends into the design and isn't immediately apparent or sticking out like a sore thumb. 'Fusing art with function' is the aim of artist Scott Freeland with this creation, which although it's awesome to look at will certainly require a very specific decor scheme to pull off. Each iRetrofone Steampunk is hand-sculpted, hand-cast in urethane resin and then hand-painted. They're each a fully functional iPhone dock complete with USB compatibility for syncing and charging and an enormous (but also functional) old-fashioned handset for conversing like grandma used to while reducing your radiation exposure. Get yours for $350 on Etsy.

iPhone Docks by Calypso Crystal

Few things can ruin the aesthetic of a room faster than the obtrusively artificial and mechanical look of many electronics but that's not the case at all with this 'Crystal Dock' iPhone charger by Calypso Crystal. Meticulously handcrafted by master glassworkers in a process that takes several days and undergoes rigorous quality assurance checks, there are four leaded crystal designs to choose from -- each is a little work of art in and of itself. The most valuable of the collection is called the Aurora. Finished with a deep sandblast treatment, finely polished, and then painted by hand with platinum, no two Aurora's will be the same and each will be numbered and limited to a total of 999 pieces. Fits the iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, 2G and the iPod Touch. $349
