Sometimes you don’t need to add in new pieces of technology to your products for them to make our list of best inventions at CES. In fact one of my favorite pieces of “Technology” at the CES 2011 show is by Bone and is called the Horn Stand.
The stand is a simple piece of Silicone which is designed using acoustical science to increase the sound output in the iPhone series of devices by 13dB. There is absolutely no electronics on the device, it’s just designed in such a way that sound passes through the silicone case and delivers amazing results.
During a demonstration of the product I couldn’t hear the iPhone from where I was standing, but once placed into the simple to slip on case the results were amazing!
Plus, you don’t have to stand the case up, you can put it horizontal or vertical, allowing for the perfect movie watching or music listening experience.
One final tidbit of info, the device, as you can see from the shot below, offers a cut out for the charging/syncing port, making the unit accessible while keeping the Horn Stand in place.
Here’s a look at the unit from the side in the horizontal position:
The amplifier comes in a variety of standard color choices, including black, white, grey and then the more “look at me” green case shown on this page.
