Antlers for your outlets
CrunchGear —
Behold the Socket Deer! No longer will you need to rest your cellphone or Nintendo DS on the floor while it charges. Now you can cradle it comfortably in these faux antlers sprouting from your electrical socket!
Or, more practically, you now have a place to hang your wallwarts when not charging your portable electronics. (You do unplug your wallwarts when they’re not charging your devices, right?)
I don’t know about you, but I know with utter certainty that I would scrape my legs against these things several times a day, if not outright impale myself somehow.

Wall antlers for your outlets

Lovely and functional wall antlers for your outlets via Crunchgear. Would make a fun remake...
These electrical outlet covers let you put your mobile phone on the wall as it recharges. The antlers for all three types of deer are already the perfect shape to hold things, so we hardly had to modify the forms at all. The tough urethane rubber we used for the cover holds handsets tightly, and also protects the antlers from breakage should you bump into them. Socket-deer can also be used as a cover for light switches, and the antlers make an excellent hook for keys or accessories.

Socket Deer, The Classy Phone Holder
OhGizmo! —
By Luke Anderson
My iPhone doesn’t always last through the whole day, so sometimes I’ll need to charge it when I’m not at my desk or bed. Unfortunately this means that my favorite phone ends up sitting on the floor with a USB cord plugged into it. I generally set it somewhere out of the way, but it still worries me. Probably not enough to warrant the purchase of these Socket Deer.
These socket covers are pretty handy, as they keep ahold of your phone while it is charging. They’re made from tough urethane rubber, which should keep a decent grip on your phone. I wouldn’t really suggest ...
