Update on THE GLIF

With over 5,000 initial orders, the Glif has shifted to a higher-end process using a South Dakota firm, PremierSource. The less-expensive mold would have cost $5,000; the steel-tooled version they’ve decided on is instead $15,000-$20,000, but can be used to create vastly greater quantities in future.
I regret not putting in a pre-order. It’ll probably take weeks before I can get my hands on one.

Glif - iPhone 4 Tripod Mount & Stand

Glif is a simple iPhone 4 accessory with two primary functions: mounting your iPhone to a standard tripod, and acting as a kickstand to prop your iPhone up at an angle. From these two functions emerge numerous uses: hands-free FaceTiming, watching videos, making movies, using your iPhone as an alarm clock, and many others.
