Phone accessories should be about function over form, unless of course you're talking about something from T-Mobile, in which case about the only thing that matters is the form of that chick in the pink dress. Meee-owww! But for people whose cell provider offers iPhones, there's a handy new companion called TidyTilt, a Chi-conceived gadget that harnesses cutting edge, uh, magnets to make your 4/4S experience even more enjoyable. Seamlessly adhere TT's ultra-thin (.7mm) brushed stainless steel frame to the back of your cell, and its magnet-filled, iPad2-style, tri-fold polyurethane pad can then function as:

An Earbud Holder: Wrap your cord around your phone, and the pad's two outer flaps can fold in to hold it in place; you can also pull the pad off and wrap your cord around it in the same manner (sans cell), allowing you to slide 'em into your pocket, because Alanis probably wouldn't like what you do when your hand is left in there.

A Kickstand: TT also folds up into a conveniently angled, multi-position rest ideal for media viewing and hands-free videoconferencing, in case someone deserves two middle fingers.

A Mount: When sitting flush, the TT can be used to mount your iGear to any magnetic surface (e.g., a fridge), though sadly it lacks the most important type of phone-related magnetism: the kind it would take to mount that T-Mobile chick.
