Razr M Docking Station
Intro: Razr M Docking Station
In helping my son stay organized, I decided he needed a docking station for his new mobile phone. However, they didn't make one yet for his Motorola Razr M, so I slapped this one together out of some wood scraps and shellacked it.
The only part I was worried about was securing the USB cable firmly enough in the base to allow the repeated docking and undocking. This turned out not to be much of a problem. I had cut the groove for the connector in the base slightly too large, so I shimmed it with Starbucks coffee stirrers and a little Elmers, and it's very solid.
Much cheaper than the 30 bucks I probably would have spent buying one, and - monogrammed.

VERY nice! I especially like how you gave it all an attractive "angular" design. Looks like you might have found a scrap piece of casing trim for the base, huh?!
Now how need to make me one! My Galaxy S3 has a vertical charging orientation, so I'm thinking about adding some "guide lips" on each side in order to more easily mount to the micro usb jack.
Thanks for sharing!

The monogram is the "C" embossed on the lower left of the lower front panel.
