iPhone 4’s Horn Stand Delivers Big Sound

If there was one thing you had to love about accessories for iDevices it was that they always seem to be rather innovative and pretty creative, and has practical application too. Meet the Horn Stand amplifier for the iPhone 4 that is supposed to increase the iPhone 4’s volume by up to 13 decibels. The amplifier is made from flexible and washable silicone. The technology behind it is borrowed from the old-fashioned horn-speakers used on gramophones. Slipping over the iPhone’s speakers it channels the sound through the trumpet-shaped tube.

The great thing about it is that it doesn’t require any power which means that it will not drain your iPhone’s battery life, apart from the expected battery drain from playing music through the phone itself. Since it will cover a fair bit of your phone, it also comes with a button on the exterior that will give you access to your home button. It’s available in a variety of colors and it’s priced at $5.60 which seems like a pretty cheap for such a novel device that could prove to be rather useful.

If anything it will make a great ornament, sort of like a tribute to the old and the new.
