App Magnets by The Jailbreak Collective

These just released App Magnets from Brooklyn-based Product Art company Jailbreak Collective are, in our humble opinions, the coolest magnets ever. Here’s the schpeel from Jailbreak:

“In order to bring the magic of the iPhone into the third dimension, we asked an artist to reach into the iPhone home screen and literally pluck out the apps.  Then we added a little magnetism.  And best of all, we mass produced them so now you too can own your very own set of 3-D App Magnets!”

At $12.99, the set of 18 epoxy magnets–packaged in a large cardboard iPhone replica–includes classic icons like Safari, YouTube, Mail and Maps. In an intelligent let’s-not-get-sued maneuver, the company made each icon a little bit different from Apple’s original versions. Act quick if these are up your alley as Jailbreak says they’ve nearly sold out of their first run. [Gizmodo]
