25 DIY iPhone Docks And Stands
If you don’t want to dish out the cash for a dock or stand that didn’t come with your new Apple iPhone or iPod Touch, then consider making your own.

Cool* Blog Stuff … thank you for information !
They are awesome man init
I tried the binder clip construction…except I only had 3 little clips and one ginormous 2″ clip…that didn’t go so well. THEN I just pulled out the arms on the big one, and flipped them back where one lies on the clip and the other sticks out at a 90º angle…Voila!
DIY Rocks!!
