Lego iPhone Dock

Title pretty much explains itself, here's an iPhone dock I made out of Lego. It's very simple and took me about a minute to build, but I'm just posting it here to maybe inspire others and see what better and more effective ideas they might come up with.

For the techy or photo geeks, all pictures were captured using a Canon Rebel XT with a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens. iPhone is the new Apple 3G, 8gig, Jailbroken using Quickpwn. Running Installer, Cydia, and Installous.

Any questions or comments are more than welcome. Have a good one.


P.S.- I'm fairly new to this site, I registered over a year ago but I just got back into using it, no idea why the image quality is being sacrificed so much upon upload, if you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem please let me know. Cheers.

Shown in the picture is all the pieces you should need.

You just saved me $29. Thanks, great Instructable.

Could you post a specific list of the pieces you used? I'm having a hard time telling if certain ones are flat or not.

While some people might think this a great instructable, I honestly this was more of an "here's what I did, figure it out yourself" post. Don't get me wrong, the finished product works, and makes sense, but stuff like "for some strange reason doesn't understand this step" discourages me from actually attempting this. Your second step has a picture of a half finished product, and the first page has components, but no list of pieces, or even a full pic of all of them. Just 22 pieces and a partly built base. Where are the grey pegs you wrap the cable around? what about the bricks with the holes in them to put the pegs into? Keep up the building, but next time, put a little more effort into your submission, or people won't take it seriously.

Very nice build! I featured it on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailyhack.net/">The Daily Hack</a>.<br/>

Awesome! I've been thinking of doing the same, as I have a snap-on shell to protect the back of the phone and am annoyed at having to remove it every night to charge in the genuine dock. I'm hoping a minor modification to this design will let me create a slightly bigger gap to hold the phone with the cover attached.
