Thanks to Mobile Multi-Stand 360 for sponsoring the contest this week. They will be providing two of their new adjustable cell phone stands to the winner. This stand would be great when you are at the office and need to take a break to watch a cool video that was texted to you. “There are many different cell phone stands, but the MMS 360 can be adjusted to many different stand positions and rotated to provide landscape or portrait support. The rotation gives you the advantage of turning the smartphone on all its 4 sides to avoid blocking any ports on your smartphone. It is small enough to keep attached on the smartphone, keep it on your pocket and take it anywhere with you. It is also easily removable if needed.”
This contest will run for one week (December 3 – December 9, 2011) . Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, identify the item pictured above and give an example of what can be done with it. Please do not give the answer in the comments.

Thanks to ideasbynet.com for sponsoring another of our weekly contests. They will be providing a iPad Travel Companion Folder to the winner. One thing about the iPad is that when you are holding it the aluminum body feels quite slippery and this is certainly not something you wouldn’t want to have accidentally slip onto the floor. The other thing about the iPad is that there is no way to have it sit up because it is so thin. This iPad Travel Folder solves both of those issues in a nice looking form factor. Next time you are looking for some promotional gifts you might want to have a look to the sponsor for some ideas. “The iPad Travel Companion Folder is stylish and functional, in keeping with your iPad. The executive quality folder protects your iPad and presents it beautifully, with a flip cover that doubles as a stand – perfect for watching videos or browsing the internet.”
