Build Your Own FREE iPhone 3G Stand/Cradle/Docking/Charging Station Using Apple’s Packaging! It is quick, easy, and classy PLEASE READ before project launch: *Since I’m unsure of how the iPhone 3G is packaged in other regions of the world, I can only vouch for the US and its carrier, AT&T INTRO After purchasing the unit, I was in a hurry to have a docking station using OEM components. Nothing was cost-effective or quick enough for me, so I decided to make a DIY unit with nothing to buy. FEATURES & BENEFITS: – Uses Apple’s included OEM accessories with nearly nothing else to buy! I built mine for FREE – Takes full advantage of the superb packaging design and material provided with your product, so the result can be very professional, functional, and elegant – Allows your unit to display, charge, and sync in any orientation – No metallic material used so it will not scratch or damage your product – Less than 20 minutes to construct, including adhesive setting time (may vary based on your adhesive and skill level) TIPS: – Make sure to secure and protect the iPhone during the build and also to make fine adjustments over a soft surface – You might only have ONE SHOT at this, so take your time, make proper measurements and use a hard-edge to guide your cutting – The acrylic material I used is from the packaging of an iPod Nano. However, I can think of an assortment of acrylic or plastic parts that can be substituted, ie: cassette tape case, home video cassette case, business

iPhone Paper Clip Stand

Keep reading for the paper clip template… Get the template at my website (in PDF) www.deanying.com So I was wanting to watch Napoleon Dynamite. But I didn’t have a way to prop up my iPhone. I went online to look for instructions on creating any kind of make-shift stand but all I came up with was some triangle thing made out of a dollar bill and also a retail item called the Bat Rest. The Bat Rest is a great idea… but I wanted something NOW. Anyway, long story short, after a couple of failures, I came up with this shape. FAQs: Will it scratch my phone? No it won’t scratch your iphone if you do it right. Check out the video responses to see the stand done with the plastic-coated paper clips. Also notice how the ends of the paper clip are bent outwards so when you rest the phone on the stand properly, those tips don’t even touch your phone.
