Tick Dock turns your iPhone into the ultimate bedside accessory

If your iPhone has been your only companion in bed for a while, you might be loath to relegate it to the bedside table. But with a brushed stainless steel and anodised aircraft-grade aluminium docking station like the Tick Dock, the transition might be less painful than you thought.

Slot in your iPhone 4 or 4S to charge it overnight and the Tick Dock will handily display alarm clock apps, late night Skype chats and pre-work sitcoms in landscape mode as you recline in bed. If all that sounds like too much concentration, you can always stick a photo of your most wanted gadget on there to ensure sweet dreams and, at 1.6kg, it'll be a solid addition to your row of teddy bears.
