See there are iPhone docks and then there are ‘iPhone docks‘ know what we mean? For your ordinary plebian suburban householder, there’s a ton of plastic and fake chrome options to choose from, all of which will boost the sound of your smartphone with varying degrees of success. But if you really want to… y’know, get noticed…you’ll have to work a bit harder and pay a bit more to install something special in your home or office.

Just so you understand, this Megaphone iPhone Amplifier, is hand crafted from slip cast ceramic fired in Vincenza, Italy from Tuscan clay. The horn sits elegantly atop a carved walnut base and provides an amplified sound without the need for anything as crude as electrical power. But really, the sound is not that important here is it? We’re looking for the shock, awe and naked envy that having this sitting in your possession will bring to the party. Priced at $499.95.
