If you are the proud owner of an iPhone - first generation, iPhone 3G, or even iPhone 3GS you are probably looking for the greatest dock offered on the market. We all know Apple is very avaricious when it comes to accessories included in the shipping box. Well, you almost get nothing except your excellent iPhone. This is a drawback, as far as I am concerned, in their marketing department. They should have at list introduces an iPhone deluxe shipping box for the ultimate experience. Even so, you still have plenty of accessories to choose from. When you say great balanced accessories (good design, great features, and normal price tag), you say
Griffin technologies.
Their ultimate accessory for the iPhone is named Griffin Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier for iPhone. Let's start with the design. Even if the Griffin Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier would have just provided a place to put your iPhone it would still be a great purchase. It looks not only unique, but also exquisite.
The Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier is made out of a translucent polycarbonate material. It looks overall like a transparent block. With a height of 1.375 inches, wide of 4.75 inches, deep of 3.625 inches, the Air Curve is easy to put wherever you want. Beside the actual Air Curve, Griffin only added in the shipping box two adapters (even if the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS share the same dimensions, while the 2007 iPhone doesn't need an adapter). The adapter is inserted in the middle of the Air Curve.
Griffin Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier is not only a dock; it is a no power consumer alarm clock for your iPhone, and even a sound system (by far as powerful as the regular sound systems offered as accessories for iPhone). You should know that you can easily use Griffin Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier as a sound system without needing any batteries or adapters to function. The design doesn't let you see how many functions this device has. From afar it simply looks like a bare to minimum iPhone stand, but when you take a closer look you will see the inside curves that collects the sound from your iPhone speaker, processing it (amplify it volume with almost 10 decibels), and delivers the finish sound into the room.
This accessory really does its job without any electronics involved. However don't expect Griffin Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier do deliver anything more than your iPhone music louder. You get no sound effect and no bass. Therefore it is not a real audio system. It is just a great stand with exceptional design and unique function. Because the manufacturer of this accessory is no one else then Griffin you should expect some nice surprises.
Griffin Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier also allows you to charge and sync your iPhone. Not by itself, however. But this stand provides a pass through slot. Therefore you can easily insert a cable dock through the
Air Curve Acoustic Amplifier. However you have to use the cables that come with your iPhone, or just buy a new one, if you already use that cable on other accessories. Even so, for only $19.95 price tag you not only get a great looking stand for your iPhone, but also an alarm clock and a mini sound system that delivers up to 50% more volume without using any power whatsoever.
