Michael Bartalos Re-stocking

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:02:44 -0800

We're excited to announce that we have begun the manufacturing process to re-stock both the Bartalos owls and landscape iBends and that they should be available in just a few weeks. Plus, we have some more new product offerings specifically designed for retailers that we will announce in the coming weeks too.

iBend works with the Nexus One

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:01:35 -0800

Following its release, we managed to test the iBend out on one of Google's new Nexus One phones and it worked perfectly... so if you're in the market for a new Nexus One phone, also consider picking up an iBend for watching videos or distracting your young ones while you try to grab a quick bite to eat.

USA Today puts iBend as a must have for travelers

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:12:18 -0800

That's right, USA Today picked 11 products for their 2009 Travelers Gift Guide (check out #6) and the iBend was one of them. "'The coolest non-tech tech product I have right now is the iBend,' says Avi Rosenthal, an energy consultant in Harrisburg, Pa. It lets you stand your iPhone and iPod up to view from a desk or tray table. 'It is almost ridiculous in its simplicity but is truly a lifesaver.'"

Thank you for the great review Mr. Rosenthal!

Artist series holiday sale!

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:11:58 -0800

A little early for Black Friday, we decided that we wanted to (over)extend a special offer through the holidays where you can now buy your favorite artist series iBend products for $5.99 instead of $7.99! We realize that this is a huge price drop, but we wanted to say thank you to all of our customers and our community for the much appreciated success that we have seen so far. Happy holidays from your friends at iBend!

The doctor recommends, iBend

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:10:48 -0700

We received a fun email from an iBend customer and we thought it best to just pass it along as-is...

"Well, yesterday I had another lunch at Ruby Tuesday – with my iBend. As much as I have enjoyed my reverse TV dinner (bringing my TV via iPhone) in the past, it was oh so much better with the iBend. That little gadget is simple brilliance – seeing my iPhone without having it slide down sugar packets is great."

Fantastic YouTube review, for you!

We want to thank everyone over at iPhone App Daily for the awesome review of the iBend. You can check it out here:

iBend helps babies learn while giving parents a break

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 09:08:34 -0700

iBend is teaming up with the folks at OccupyBaby to create the ultimate travel solution for parents with toddles and infants. We have already seen blog posts that rave about how the iBend has allowed them to distract their kids during feeding time in a hands-free manner. Due to the "forgetful convenience" of the iBend, you are likely to have one on you whether you planned for it or not, which is one less thing to think about when stuffing that diaper bag.

As of this week, a brand new iPhone application was released on the app store called OccupyBaby that is an engaging and educational iPhone application that is perfect for travel and mealtimes. The OccupyBaby app currently has one theme, but is scheduled to release several more in the very near future... we can't wait.

iBend artist series in production

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:07:03 -0700

Hey folks, just a quick update to let you know that two of the three artist designs are in and have been printed (only a month behind), next they're off to the packaging printer for insertion. Over the coming weeks we will be making some changes to the website to accommodate the additional products. Overall the artist series look incredible and we think that you'll be as excited as we are when you see them.

Hey Mac|Life magazine, thanks for the love

Wed, 06 May 2009 16:05:09 -0700

In the June 2009 issue of Mac|Life magazine (pages 30 and 31) the iBend received a mention in their bit about iPhone stands and we wanted to make sure to say "thank you Mac|Life magazine folks", your quote actually made us blush. "The iBend is one of those simple but brilliant inventions you wish you'd thought of yourself", we truly couldn't have asked for a better acknowledgment.

Checkout the post on their blog.

Mon, 04 May 2009 18:05:11 -0700

We are happy to release that we have confirmed three artists for the first iBend artist series. We are very excited to see how the artists choose to personalize the products as well as the packaging and we're even more excited to bring them to you. Without further ado, the artist lineup is as follows (in alphabetical order, of course):

Michael Bartalos, San Francisco, CA
Joshua Davis, Mineola, NY

We are currently anticipating final artwork and manufacturing by mid-June and we will be sure to send out notifications to past customers as well as update our website, Flickr, YouTube, etc. as soon as the products are in. As always, make sure to check back regularly for updates.
