On top of my wardrobe, should I ever need it. Was up there yesterday, it's picked up quite a layer of dust.

Keeping it in my desk drawer for easy access to the sim pin apple provide,lol. I'm saving the box,which I normally never do, so I can resell the phone in mint condition.

Put it in a climate controlled, air-tight, plexiglass box. When people come through my door it swings down from their left, right in front of their face, with a sign that hangs below it, exclaiming:
"HOLY **** LOOK AT THE BOX!"
Everyone is impressed at my box and all the glory it delievers to my household.
Its in a drawer.

Hello sir or madam. I am having a cousin in Mother Russia who is having the broken iPod. I was doing the wondering if you could be so nice as to be the shipping your I-Phone box to my cousin. I will pay the included shipping and what you call the tax. I am knowing that you send these rare items to the country of Nigeria often, I am asking that you show some of the sympathy in your heart strings to send this to my cousin in the timely fashion. I am awaiting your reply right now.

Ballmer will say disgusting! in front of his colleagues, before going to the toilet to ogle at it and wished that he joined Apple instead.

Well yeah, until a robber thinks they're getting a super cool box and all your receipts are in there. :rolleyes: You know, because these boxes are hotcakes and all.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

My MBP, iPod touch and iPhone cases are all on top of my bookshelf. My G5 box, however, resides in the basement on a shelf... it's sad down there but I visit it from time to time.

Why would you do that? It's tiny and you lose resale value if you sell the device and don't have the box.

How hilariously obnoxious would that be?!
Mines just sat in my desk draw- my 2G one did as well until it proved to be quite financially useful in selling my original iPhone.

The ones from my older iPhones I use as storage for odds and ends of small photography-related items; haven't done anything with the new 3G S⃣ box yet., but it will probably be used in a similar way.

I put it on a shelf with most of my other Apple boxes that I have kept from previous iPods and such. Even though I didn't originally have the intention of starting a collection it has kinda turned into one.

Pretty much the same. Seeing as I only got my 3G S on Friday it's still on my desk, however I'm sure it will find it's way under it in the coming weeks. I just like sitting the the iPhone ontop of it at the moment :).

Top shelf of closet...I sent my 2G (which was in really nice condition) to my daughter in the original box with all the original packaging and dock, charger, headphones and cable...she was so excited when she called me after she received it...
"DAD! It looks like it's brand new in the box!!!" LOL
(btw...MAN, is that original box big compared to the 3GS box :eek:)
I'll give her my 3GS next year....with the little box...:D

It sits on top of my shelf along with boxes of my iPod touch 2G, Macbook Pro, Apple remote (even though it was a pain to open and now is shredded), Lacie HDD, Moto L7 SLVR and random boxes of cases I've gone through for my Apple devices. I open up the Apple packaging from time to time to see if the Apple smell is still there and to bring me back to the unboxing moment :D

Why would anyone pay for the iphone box?
If you're trying to sell a stolen iPhone, having "boxed" in the listing makes it look far more legitimate, and increases the sale price accordingly.
