Smartphone Coaster keeps your eyes on the prize, even while you eat
From the parallel universe known as "you've got to be kidding me" comes yet another trinket from New PC Gadgets that'll undoubtedly sell well despite being about as mindless as a product comes. In a bid to solve a simple problem that every internet addict faces when dining out or simply joining other Earthlings around a dinner table, the aforesaid company has just issued the Smartphone Coaster. That's a fanciful name for a bent piece of stainless steel. In practice, it holds just about any smartphone (or dumb / featurephone, for that matter) at a 75 degree angle, enabling you to keep a close eye on your display while stuffing your face. We're surmising that these will be aimed as restaurants more than in-home dinner tables, but hey, if you'd rather enable your tweens to ignore vital family conversations while gathered for supper, more power to you. It's available now for $3.95 (or less if buying in bulk), and no, we won't tell anyone that you're seriously considering a dozen.
Xbox 360 storage locker can store anything, really
While newPCgadgets.com has chosen to give the product seen above the name "Xbox 360 Security Locker," you could conceivably store just about any gaming paraphernalia you might happen to have lying around. This point is actually driven home by the product image itself, which clearly shows several PlayStation 2 games being stored in the locker. For $39.95, the locker holds four controllers and 15 games, or zero controllers and 30 games or whatever you can cram into its 15 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" frame. The locker also includes the pictured padlock, hence the whole "security" part. Honestly, we can't help but point out that the locker is easily small enough for the average criminal to lift. Then again, you probably have a good idea of where your little brother will be hiding it anyway; he's not very bright.
