Binder Clip Ipod Touch Stand

I listen to a lot of podcasts on my ipod touch. Recently the podcasts have put their program notes on the screen so you can read the contents of the podcast while listening. Prior to this update, it was impossible to lock the screen rotation and it was difficult to pause an ipod touch when it was in horizontal orientation. So I needed a vertical charging dock that I could plug my earphones into - which is harder to find than you'd expect!

So I got some binder clips out and started fiddling around with them one afternoon and came up with this. I use it everyday. It is quite sturdy and keeps the ipod at exactly the right angle!

Step 1 Gather your supplies!

You need:

3 medium binder clips
1 ipod charging cord
1 ipod touch (has not been tested with an iphone, the phone is probably too heavy)

does the iphone rest on the maulers or the connector (of the cable)?

It rests on both. But it wouldn't sit there if it were not charging, so I suspect it's mostly the connector.
