Let us know which one blows your trumpet in the comments below.<br/><h4>1. Bone Collection Horn Stand</h4><br/>Bone Collection Horn Stand<br/><br/>While it might look like something Shrek would attach to his iPhone, this funky, colorful horn attachment will give you around 13 extra decibels and can be used in both landscape and portrait mode.<br/><br/><strong>Cost:</strong> $24.95<br/><h4>2. Phonofone III</h4><br/>The glorious Phonofone III is as much sexy ceramic sculpture as it is passive amplifer.<br/><br/><strong>Cost:</strong> $195 (CAD)<br/><h4>3. Griffin AirCurve Play</h4><br/>Griffin's affordable solution uses a built-in coiled waveguide to up your iPhone's audio levels. Its transparent design lets you "see" it work.<br/><br/><strong>Cost:</strong> $19.99<br/><h4>4. Koostik</h4><br/>Described as the "natural alternative" to your plastic-y speaker docks, each koostik is hand-made from a solid block of wood, with various natural finishes available.<br/><br/><strong>Cost:</strong> From $85<br/><h4>5. Tembo Trunks</h4><br/>Tembo Trunks amplify the sound from your iPhone's earphones. Especially suited to travelers, they are stackable, collapsible and virtually indestructible.<br/><br/><strong>Cost:</strong> From $39
