Apple Tray is the Apple TV holder we’ve all wanted

How many times have you lost your tiny Apple TV remote? It’s countless, I know. At least now we have something to do about it. Chicago-based Tinsel & Timber has come up with one of the most elegant looking Apple TV holders we’ve ever seen.

Apple Tray, simply put, is a stand for your Apple TV and its remote. It is a rectangular piece of well-finished wood with two slots carved in for your device. The box fits in perfectly on the square slot and has a special track for your cables to flow out.

At the first glance, the remote seems to be embedded into the piece of log. With special groves for your fingers, it wouldn’t be so hard to pick it up either. Also the floor of the remote slot is finished with a felt of 100% Merino wool so that the aluminium doesn’t get scratched. You’ll also get four cork-feet for the tray, to keep it positioned.

The Apple Tray will cost you $49 and is available in different variants. The wood can be American Walnut (in pictures) or Maple, while the felt can be charcoal, salmon or cream in color.

You can buy the Apple Tray from their online store.

For every piece the company sells, a tree is planted through their partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation.

Black Friday is now in the rearview mirror, and we are all left wondering where we will find those great deals for accessories and extras for our Apple TV‘s. Well, fear not good people. We at Apple TV Hacks have scoured the web once again to find you the best deals on new hardware including mounts, stands, speakers, remotes, cables, new Bluetooth goodies, and more. So, grab a cup of Eggnog, relax and let’s get shopping.

Apple TV 1

The box that started it all! We all have fond memories of this silver box, and for some (myself included) we still find them a vital part of our entertainment system.

160G HD New – As low as $174.99
160G HD Used – As low as $128.16
40G HD New – As low as $300
40G HD Used – As low as $100

Apple TV 2

Though the Apple TV 1 started it all, the Apple TV 2 is the best Apple television connected product out there. Considering the fact that there is still no jailbreak for the Apple TV 3, the 2^nd gen puck offers all the goods along with the ability to have XBMC installed on top of it!
