Make Your Own Ipod Nano Dock With Out-Of-The-Box Objects.

Well, you just got your new ipod nano. The only think you need is a dock. Unfortunately, you're kinda short on cash. Just make it yourself!...If You Decide to make this, please show me how it came out.

i made something like this too but i used the actual lid from the box. i put the plastic part that came with it the top with super glue after using a dremel tool to cut the whole for it, and insted of putting a knotch in the top on the side i cut a rectangle in the on the one side so that i could put the wall charger through it and the usb cord
