Sexy Ipod Touch Generator 2 vertical dock made from everything in the box

Here is how to make a very sexy and clean looking Ipod Touch dock that can take up your extra cables that uses nothing but the packaging the ipod came with.

This only works with generation two touches that come in the hard plastic shell.

You'll need

• The Clear hard shell
• The USB cable
• The plastic cradle adapter
• Sand Paper
• Marker and masking tape
• Hot glue
• A drill/drill press or Dremel

Step 1 Mark where you want to cut and make the hole

First tape the plastic cradle to where you want it to sit on the case and mark where you are going to cut it.

Leave at least 2 mm around the edge so that the cradle will have something to sit on when you cut the hole

I used a Drill press to punch holes around the corners to keep them a bit round. I then used a dremel to cut the straight edges and then grind the hole into shape

you could also use paint to cover the inside of the case and hide the wires, that way you can personalize it with your own colors and patterns/images. Or you could line with fabric or paper (colored/pics). A lil paint or spray adhesive goes a long way heh, great idea with the recycling, I may do the same thing with mine now thanks for the idea!

That's a great idea to save money. Apple charges way too much for accessories anyway. Apple's dock costs around $50. The clear look of the case really does make it sexy :D. Here's an idea: color the paper insert all white to get rid of the words. Then decorate it and put it in the case. Now it's gonna be real sexy :).
