Why not have a laugh with friends and family when you put your mobile phone on the table looking like a classic ’80′s ‘brick’ mobile phone. Even with the case on, you can still use your iPhone easily, whether answering a call, texting or playing with your favourite app. Simply slot your iPhone into the custom-made holder and capture the look and feel of the 1980s ‘house brick’ phone.

7 The Vertical Chess Set
| This is the chess set that mounts to a wall, allowing games of indefinite length.

An included “last move” marker hung around a recently promoted pawn-turned-Queen signals to an opponent that without an equally crafty counter, the game will end soon. The 34″ H x 22″ W chessboard mounts like a framed picture with its included hardware. The board is made from cherry veneer, alternately stained and left in its natural color to produce the 3 1/4″ H x 2″ W black and white spaces. Eight transparent acrylic shelves support its set of classic Staunton chess pieces. The black pieces are made from rosewood, known for its darkly veined grain and stout heft; the white pieces are made from boxwood, selected for its fine grain and high density–all are turned by hand and finished with a durable, high-gloss cover coat.
