If you want to show the world that you are an eco-gadgeteer, you simply must have an iRetrofone Base like this one right here. Not only is it a handmade iPhone support, but it is actually sculpted from resin, so be careful where you place it in the room. Near a fireplace is not recommended; also, make sure you give your iPhone some cooling time between calls.

It will not come with its own iPhone, or USB cable, the manufacturer clearly states this in the product description on Etsy, but you do get a retro handset from what I understand. The iRetrofone Base will work with any handset you might want to use and any type of iPhone, of course. I can see this base easily fitting in an office interior, as a replacement for the squarish digital phone you are using now.

Simply make all your calls from your iPhone, while keeping it at a radiation-safe distance from yourself. Not only does it “look cool,” but it also shows that you care about the environment and like your products to be as natural and as less toxic as possible.

The guys selling this even make pink models, so don't think the one pictured here is not for you. Unfortunately, at the moment, the iRetrofone Base is sold out and I don't know if the producers are taking orders.

Still, it is an original way of using your phone, combining retro looks with modern technology, in a totally eco-friendly way. Even if not using the support for making calls from it, it will be a cool housing unit for it while you charge it from a computer. I would be careful when choosing the color for this support, as its surface is clearly very easy to scratch.
