                         Like the case, hate the name

Bunny and I were at the Apple Store [1] (she was there to pick up her
repaired Mac laptop; I was along for the ride) when I saw this:

[An iPhone … on a tripod—imagine that!] [2]
[3]

The Hipstamatic [4] (an unfortunate name in my opinion), which is a tripod
mounting case for the iPhone 4 (yes, I have one now—I love it, but both Bunny
and I are still pissed off at The Other Monopolistic Phone Company because—
well, it's a long story and do we even need an excuse to loathe any
Monopolistic Phone Company?). Ever since I got the iPhone, I've been trying
to figure out a way to get it mounted to a tripod, and when I saw this, I
snapped it up.

The only bit I'm concerned about is a crucial bit—the actual tripod adaptor.
It's a small L-shaped piece of metal that screws into the tripod and the case
slips over it (it's that vertical bar just below the circle design on the
front of the case). This piece is small and I can see it being easily lost.

But it works and it's a simple design, even if it's a bit pricy.
