Butterfly iPod Dock: Love It or Leave It?

September 29, 2008

On first consideration, I thought these Butterfly iPod Docks from PBTeen were too young for me, but then I remembered the Vestalife Ladybug Dock, whose soaring popularity is so high because of its girlie, young design.

These docks are cute and fun, but what's not cute, young, or fun, is the $100 price tag! Pottery Barn needs to learn to not start their novelty peripherals at such a high price point, because I was this close. . . thisclose! to getting this for somebody's birthday.

What do you think?

A bit on the childish side, I think the Klipsch IGroove is much better. http://www.crazyaboutgadgets.com/product/?Klipsch-iGroove

Lovely, but way too much money. You could buy an iPod for that price.

it doesnt match the ipods sleek design.

I think it is ugly. The idea could be good, but the design does not speak to me.

i love things like this - and yes, maybe you need to be a bit younger to really appreciate it - it's still something new. it's a cute way to dock your iPod w/o having it look like it's really docked.

it's way to expensive to be aimed at young girls! you can get great ipod docks a looot cheaper than that.

the green color is very similar to a picture frame i have in my room that matches my accent colors, so if i didn't already have a docking station, i'd consider it
