These finger condoms, otherwise known as Phone Fingers, will help you keep your iPhone looking as shiny as the day you bought it. Of course, they'll also make you look completely ridiculous.
Minor technicalities (such as your dignity) aside, these serve a worthy purpose. You can't help but cover your iPhone in fingerprints, because after all, the thing is literally one big touch screen.

The Sunjar goes along with my last couple post of solarpowered led devices, the Sunjar is a frosted and sealed mason jar with highpower solar cells inside. The solar cells are used to power 3 led lamps by recharging 2 AAA batteries. The jar gives off a wonderful warm glow much like that of a mason jar full of fireflys. The Sunjar also has a sensor in it to tell whether it it light out or not so the jar will not waste it's power during the day.

This Topple bookshelf is a crazy new concept to add to the list of abstract bookshelves. At least those other wacky bookshelves aren't likely to fall over and crush me.
The Topple bookshelf's bottom is equipped with a
5-degree tilt, allowing it to rock. Julian Appelius proposed this idea, assuring us all that the bookshelf will hold your books level as long as you have enough of them to fill up a row.

The GlowBrick from ThinkGeek is a nifty little light that works a little bit differently than your average night light would. The GlowBrick is actually a small lightbulb filled with glow in the dark pigment, encased in a small acrylic cube. The glow in the dark pigment charges when exposed to sunlight and will then glow when ever it is dark. Coming in two colors of green and blue these would make a nice little decoration around the house, of course you would have to make sure they were close to a light source so that they'll glow once the lights are out.

How many times have you pressed that snooze button on your alarm clock? When you run into the office 15 minutes late, are you still happy you did? Didn't think so. Sometimes though, we do it subconsciously. I have woken up late and found my alarm clock on the other side of the room! Well, if you are sick of snoozing everyday, this gadget is for you.
The Flying Alarm clock is a great unit that, when the alarm goes off, a propeller piece is launched off the top of the unit, and you can't turn the alarm clock off until you go find the propeller and place it back into its holder in the clock.

This robotic 'doctor' is intended to give therapeutic facial massages in spas and hospitals. The only downside is, you might be scared to stick your face between its robotic arms.
The WAO-1 bot (Waseda Asahi Oral Rehabilitation Robot 1) was originally developed for patients with jaw-related medical issues. Some of these patients benefit from facial massage, and voila! The face-massaging bot is born.

This gadget is pretty self explanatory. You are sick of having to mix your coffee or tea by hand every day to get the full flavor throughout the drink. Well, "problemo" solved. This 8 ounce, Stainless Steel, Self Stirring Mug runs off of 2 AAA batteries. There is a button on the top of the mug's handle, and when you hold it down, the propeller at the bottom of the mug turns on and mixes your coffee, smoothie, or whatever else, into a well mixed treat.

We've seen some atrocious [and some very cool] iPod accessories, but this just makes no sense in my head. Whitening your teeth with an iPod fits into the realm of an
acne-treating MP3 player, and I can't imagine what the marketing people were thinking when they wrote these ideas on paper.

Over at Instructables user fungus amungus has shown how to make a pretty scary looking USB hub for your computer.
This would do great to scare off your kids or maybe even a dog that has been chewing your cables... I know mine have been chewed several times. I must say this would also make a nice little conversation piece if your computer happens to be in a public area, and if you could maybe pop a small motion detector or camera in the head this would serve as a great little security setup in your home, just ahve the webcam run to your computer to record.
