'woodguy32' Goes Retro with Smartphones in a Classy Way
Matt Ho — September 13, 2011 — Art & Design
Etsy user 'woodguy32' is bringing retro back to smartphones with a vintage telephone dock that grandma and grandpa use to have laying in the home back in the day.
The very retro handset designed by woodguy32 is a simple, yet elegant piece of iPhone accessory that anyone filled with nostalgia would probably want in the home. The base holds up a dock for the smartphone and another one for the handset. You could be asking, what sets this apart from other vintage stes? Take a closer look at the handset and you'll notice that there's no wires at all. That's because it incorporates Bluetooth technology, which means you can talk on the receiver up to 30 feet away.
This dock is the perfect marriage of retro theme and high-technology.
