Elevation Dock is a project that went live on Kickstarter. Undocking an iPhone on many other different docks can be rather difficult. Most docks do not work with iPhones with a case on them, but the Elevation Dock does support iPhones with a case. The Elevation Dock is made out of solid aluminum and it has a gorgeous surface. The product was just a concept with a prototype until it was posted on the fund-raising website that everybody loves called Kickstarter.

Jaisen Mathai used to work as an engineer at Yahoo, and has left the company to start his own photo service. The service is called OpenPhoto, and Mathai has been securing funding through Kickstarter because, as TechCrunch notes, photo apps have not been popular with venture funding lately. Mathai believes that users should be in control of their photos and that any uploaded photos are the property of that person and not of the company. As a result, OpenPhoto lets users choose what service they use as a cloud data storage provider.
