Good Idea horrible instructable . Not really a point in even posting something if you don't show how you did it

3G only comes with a headset and an AC adapter. The first picture,minus the phone resting on it, would allow others to actually build this..

I would also like to say, your photos are great. Maybe you could post an Instructable on your photography technique.

Nice!

Now that I see how many uses there are for binder clips, I'm surprised I didn't think of this.

I made a little stand from a regular wire paperclip. Your way is a lot easier.

Here's mine if you're interested.

Okay, either this is a cruel joke or I am missing something. I have a pile of various sized binder clips in front of me, and two very fuzzy photographs. Please break this down, or show a diagram, or SOMETHING, because I can't configure anything that (1) looks like your second photo and (2) supports the iPhone's weight.

Would you mind adding a couple more steps/photos to break down what exactly you did? I can't see how it all fits together by looking at a single photo of the finished project. Thanks.

The iPhone comes with the dock / stand. The Touch only comes with a dock insert.
