Step 2Building the inner case
At first, cut two similar parts out of the thick plastic. They will become the top and the bottom. Give them the size and shape you want your dock look like.
I made them 6x5,5 cm.
Measure your nano to have the size the slot has to be an cut it out.
Cut a little hole for the cable at the bottom.
Now deside, how tall your dock should be and cut a stripe out of the thinner plastic plate. The piece should be long enough to reach exactly around the top and bottom parts. I made it 2.5 cm high(don't ask me about inches), to give the ipod connector and cable enough space inside the box.
Bend the stripe into shape and fix it temporaly with tape. I used the edge of my table for bending the corners.
Take the original connector part which you already have, when you buy an ipod.
Cut off as much of it, to make it small enough. Otherwise, this part won't fit into middle of the case.
