Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Most iPhone owners use their phones as an alarm clock, but rather than just plonk the handset on your bedside table, why not make the most of your phone and turn it into an alarm clock proper with the help of a clever accessory? We’ve found five fabulous devices that will turn your iPhone into a super-cool time teller, ranging from a seriously analogue option made of wood to high-tech speaker docks that come with free apps. Take a look through the gallery below for our suggested solutions and let us know which one you’d like to see gracing your bedside table in the comments below. 1. Luckybits BirdBox Alarm Clock This avian-themed offering will add a touch of whimsy to your bedside table. Once you’ve chosen your BirdBox from the four colors available, and downloaded the free app , you’ve got a sweet (or should that be tweet?) way to wake up in the morning. The iPhone fits in the box and displays an analogue clock through the hole. You can tap the screen to see the birds inside and wake to the sound of the birds cuckooing — much more pleasant than blaring alarms. Cost: $11.95 2. iLuv App Station The App Station speaker dock is a handy bit of kit. It can run off the mains or batteries, stands horizontally or vertically, and can play content while docked. On the clock side of things, the iLuv companion app will transform the setup from mini media center to a capable clock complete with weather info and Internet radio. Cost: $89.99 3. Alarm Dock Jonas Damon’s gorgeously retro wooden block dock will appeal to fans of vintage style. Obviously inspired by the faux wood alarm clocks that graced our parents’ bedside tables, Damon says “this dock returns meaningful form to the sliver of a device that will wake you up.” A flip clock app completes the look. Cost: $39.50 4. Exspect Time! Speaker Dock Like the iLuv option, but for UK and European iPhone owners, Exspect’s clock dock works with the companion app to make the iDevice a part of the clock face. It charges your iPhone as you sleep, and you can choose to wake to audio from your iPhone, the FM radio or a buzzer. Cost: £30.99 (approx $50) 5. Day Maker “Nothing says morning like a piece of toast popping in a toaster,” says Day Maker designer Michael Kritzer. “With that in mind, Day Maker, a bedside phone charger/alarm hub, lets you know it’s time to rise and shine with a little added ‘pop’ from your phone alarm.” With the ability to hit snooze by pressing the phone back down, the Day Maker is a witty and unique take on the iPhone alarm clock dock. A Kickstarter listing is pending, so stay tuned for more.
