(Credit: Logitech) Logitech, a company focused on selling accessories for a wide array of products, has acquired a company that got its start on Kickstarter. TT Design Labs was founded a little under two years ago by Derek Tarnow and Zahra Tashakorinia. The company's first product was an iPhone accessory, known as TidyTilt, that doubled as both a stand for easier viewing of the iPhone, as well as a case protector. The TidyTilt could also handle the wrapping of earbud cords to keep everything, well, tidy.

Neither Logitech nor TT Design Labs announced the terms of the deal, but Logitech will now start selling both of TT's products under its own brand.

The TidyTilt will set customers back $34.95, while the JustMount will cost $24.95. Logitech plans to ship them out "in the coming weeks."
