Etsy shop owner Patrick Dunne of DunnesWoods has produced an rather clever iPhone dock in the form of a miniature boat dock. It’s pretty hard not to laugh at the word play for this smartphone docking station and it’s perfect for at home or in the office as a place to store your phone, iPod or any iPhone models.
The iPhone dock measures in with a base of six inches by four inches and has a felt bottom to avoid damages to your table tops. The dock itself stands at around three and a quater inches tall.
The dock comes with a blue base that is supposed to resemble water and has brown, wooden plank boards that have been tied up with string to help resemble a small cottage lake boat dock. The dock, however, does not charge your phone, nor does it amplify music.
