I have created a parts list for this project its in my office i'll try and post it Monday. I've made some for gifts. It come to be about $10 if you go to www.bricklink.com you can buy the parts

I recommend to use Bricklink.com, which is basically an amazon style site set up for all things Lego, like sets or individual pieces new or used. Very handy for finding ANY lego piece you may need.

I just spent an hour looking for all the pieces, it is now all together and it looks awesome. Better yet, it works great with my iPod 4th generation. I'm just glade that I didn't just waste a ton of my free time ( - - ' )

Ahhhh. I wasted time trying to build this for my ipod touch but then I thought it fit. It doesn't

[shantanu007]

Don't worry you can still make it work! just be creative!

First let me say nice little project and thanks for posting it... but, well I bought the pieces put it together and as expected from the previous posts it is just a bit to narrow for my iPod 2G, if you have a quick fix I would love to hear it.

[shantanu007]

I would play with the gear system. If you have extra pieces lying around that might be a great way to fix it. I will try to PM you with a fix asap.

I really don't see how changing the gears around would help, the pieces on the "Turntable" as Lego calls it are where my issue is. Just a little bit to small, about have a standard space. I have been using Lego Digital Design to work it but haven't put the time in to come up with a fix.

You would have to some how extend this piece. http://cl.ly/372m232l130x241T2E0L

I made this for my iPhone 3g, not knowing the exact thickness difference, so I ended up modifying it until it worked. It works great now; thanks!

[memyselfand1]

just built it and discovered that the case i have on my iphone adds about 1.5 cms to the total thickness, so it doesn't fit...

[shantanu007]

Try modifying the gear system to fit your case.

this looks great and would love if someone could email me the parts list and instructions.

[shantanu007]

You can buy the whole set online at amazing or target or the lego website itself or you may choose to buy individual pieces from say ebay and even your local lego store might carry extras.
