How to make a book into an ipod dock.

How to make a book into an ipod dock.

In this instructable I will show you how to make an old book into an ipod touch dock ( works for other devices as well).

Materials: 1 Hard back book, cardboard (I used the thinner kind found in small boxes), Cover from the plastic case your ipod touch came in ( an Altoid case would probably work for some kinds of MP3s), exacto knife, fine tooth hack saw ( optional but makes the project go faster), power drill, scissors and Super glue. (glue stick and decorative photos if desired)

Note: The blue back light are the LED's on my X-Mini II capsule speakers, so if you want back lighting and don't have the speakers then you will have to install your own.

Note: This is my first Step by step instructable, so if you have you have trouble understanding it feel free to ask me a question.
