Turn your old iPhone into a Dieter Rams style desktop radio

radio

I have one or two old and unused iPhones. The iReadyO radio (US$85) Kickstarter project looks like a cool way to make use of a deactivated iPhone 4/4s/5/5s.

It's essentially a big, dumb iPhone case, with a white body inspired by Dieter Rams's midcentury designs for Braun (most specifically, the Braun TP1). But slip in your iPhone, and it becomes a cloud-connected music player with physical controls, an extra battery, and a decent speaker.
