Power panel with cell phone holder

With its unusual power socket, Nendo solves a real, if unimportant problem: where to stash a cellphone while it recharges. But ... antlers?

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.

I've got some of the Driin holders, which are a little less aesthetically pleasing, perhaps- but also not antlers.

It's a plastic 'shelf' that's held in place by the wall wart- and the charger cord wraps around it, and then the phone lays on the shelf. It keeps the phone off the floor.

I finally bought a cheap laptop holder from Ikea that looks kind of like a school locker or an electrical box of some sort. The door turns into a makeshift work desk, there's a compartment to hide a power strip, and there are also a few nooks to hold phones and other electronics. It's a little better than having electronics scattered everywhere.
