Cassette MagSafe stand
By Ashley Whittaker. Posted
You might have heard of Apple: it’s a company that makes sleek, functional gadgets, including a line of phones and watches, some of which use conductive charging to… well… charge. What Apple doesn’t make is a brilliantly silly 3D-printed phone stand in the shape of an audio cassette on which the user can rest their phone while it’s charging.

This shocking oversight has at last been rectified by EBengineering, who has filled the gap in the market with this whimsical piece of design. Any electrical functionality is provided by the chargers that owners of these devices already possess; all it does is hold the cables, and look nice.
Actually, it does do one thing: when you put a pencil into the cassette sprocket and turn it the way we used to do in the Olden Days when tapes got stuck, out pops a hidden stand for a watch charger. Daft, but delicious.
