If you are using Apple's iSight camera with a flat-panel Cinema Display, you may have noticed that the mount is flat while the back of the Cinema Display is rounded.

Here's an alternative way to mount the camera that uses a hook from an Organized Living store and doesn't permanently attach anything to your monitor.

Looks like you can buy something close to that hook online here for $4.

"Interdesign Power Lock Suction Spa Hook Clear"

Hard to tell, it looks like there's an extra hook piece on it. Might still work though. Food for thought as my PB 17" and iSight should be arriving soon!

Nice job!
