The Deal: Dormbuys’ phone holder, bulletin board

Dormbuys, a site that seems to hit just the right not-too-hip note for college students (like I’d know), has our seventh and final installment of 2 Cool 4 Back 2 School: a great selection of items on my organizational agenda. The site recently cut prices of two products that I’d be happy to have in my home.

The Drinn cellphone holder turns any wall socket into a recharging station for mobile phones, MP3 players and PDAs. The device provides a non-slip shelf with extra room to spool a cord and keep it out of the way. It’s a quick fix for home offices, guest rooms and my overnight bag. It’s made of a mix of plastic and rubber and is available in six colors. Originally $7.99, it’s now $5.99.

The Pulp bulletin board is a smart, ecologically conscious alternative to a traditional corkboard. Made from recycled paper, each one allows users to tack up notes or slip cards securely in between layers of paper (like a bookmark). The board is 13 inches square. It’s marked down from $24.99 to $20.99.
