iPod Sync Pad

So basically i wanted to make a soft pad to place my iPod Touch on when it synced, i didn't want it rolling about on my desk and collecting dust/scratches.

It took me about an hour to think up and make and it doesn't use many materials or tools so overall its pretty easy to do.

Does anybody actually read this ? blah blah blah whatever just look at the pictures then, you'd better leave a comment though...

Step 1: Materials and Tools

Materials :

• Thick foam
• Felt or other soft cloth
• Glue
• Elastic or a rubber band

Tools:

• X-Acto knife
• Black pen
• Ruler

I give this a 5, I love the idea! (never seen grippy feet made of rubber bands before though...)

Very nice! I might make one, because I have my iPod touch on my glass desk when I sync it.. 

[amakerguy]

Great idea! I would never have thought of using rubber bands for the grippy feet. It just so happens that I'm reading this on my touch right now :)

From this instructable I learnt we should have got you a cutting mat and a steel ruler for your birthday! Now your plastic ruler will be as straight as a roundabout and your desk will have scratches as deep as the grand canyon!

Thanks for the idea! i made one of these, but i shaved out a hole in the middle, so it kind of rests inside. Its for a second gen btw. Ill try and get some pictures up.

Simple but effective! I will build something like that ( or this, idk, french :s) when I will get some foam !

Nice idea, i use my leather case normally, works nicely just to sit underneath. Might me worth make a docking station for all my gadgetry

I like your new avatar btw ! im trying to think of a good one for myself

[gmjhowe]

I can fashion one up if you wish?

Yea that would be cool, a large'ish pad and you could have holes for the chargers to poke through

[gmjhowe]

i will see if i have any leather left after my my book of time.
