Anyone who uses their iPhone as an alarm clock doesn’t “hit the snooze” button — rather, they tap or slide to get a few more minutes of sleep.
But if you miss the big ol’ snooze button of traditional alarm clocks and still want the reliability of your iPhone alarm clock, a company on Kickstarter wants to give you the best of both worlds with its snooze button that attaches to your iPhone.
For $50 ($40 if you get in on the early bird special) you can purchase the Snooze and support the Kickstarter project — or “keep the dream alive” as the company says (pun intended).
The boxy alarm clock allows you to charge your iPhone while it’s plugged in, but, instead of lunging for your phone when it goes off in the morning, you can just slam the brick-sized bar on the clock.
The Snooze is a project of Distil Union in Charleston, S.C. The product design company has developed a number of sleek devices that work with the iPhone, for example this SocketDock that provides a stand for your iPhone on the wall outlet while it charges.
We’ve seen tech utilized to create cooler and more demanding alarm clocks that are sure to get you out of bed. Mashable recently wrote about an alarm clock that won’t stop beeping until you get out of bed and enter a disarming code from a keypad in the next room. Another motivates you to wake up by threatening to shred your money. And an alarm clock app for that we profiled requires you to shake it vigorously to prove you’re awake.
What do you think of the Snooze? Would you buy one? Tell us in the comments.
