I really like this Naja King stand, providing a nice 360º position grip for your iPhone or iPod Touch devices. This clean designed holder is a flexible three foot metal cable, packed with 7 non-scratching finger grippers that can sit on your desk as an artifact. If this thing looks snaky to you, bear in mind that “Naja” stands for Cobra snakes. This baby cost $40, pretty pricey for a cable.
