Check it out. Made it with some sold scrap metal I had around the shop. I will get more pics when I put some spray on it.
Here it is all finished. The bolts make it so I can tilt the phone more forward or back by loosening or tightening the jam nuts. Comes in handy when watching video. I put some VW lug covers on the head of the bolts to protect the case of the phone. Not bad for a days work.
Sweet!

wouldnt really consider that ghetto. have you seen the ****ers around here using the cardboard box the phone came in? or the guys using paperclips?
he could probably market this to iphone owners as some industrial steampunk phone stand, get "Made for iPhone" stamped on the box and sell these for $200 all day long.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Im going to make another for my touch pro 2. I will post pics asap.
What case is that on the phone? I just ordered a Vibrant (it'll be here tomorrow. Can't wait!) and I'm looking for a good case to put it in. That one looks pretty nice. I was a bit disappointed to find that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Vibrant.

Its just a rubber case from the T-mobile store. I got it when I got the phone. It was only like $15 and it fits real nice.

love to see it. i'm a car guy too. buddy of mine made some lamps out of old cams, cranks and turbine housings from some shot turbos he had in his garage.
i like to see stuff like this. lots of people dont have an open enough mind to figure stuff like this out.
Nice Job. Money tight? I hear ya.
New Dock
This is my new one, for my touch pro2. Same basic design as the first, but a little rougher around the edges. It also fits my vibrant really well. I think Im going to play around with fiberglass and see what I come up with. I did body work for awhile, and I can sling mud with the best of them.
Hello everyone,
Today I got creative with my brand new Optimus One.
I wanted to give the phone a more prominent place on my desktop, and here's what I've come up with. ( check attachments , I can't post links)
Getting the phone into the dock is pretty simple.
Just slide it down and it should click into the usb connector.
It did took me a while to get things lined up perfectly.
It might not be the most stable solution, but it's pretty solid.
The rubber bands holding the connector in place are pretty tight.
Any other users here made themselves a dock?
I could also use some tips on making it more stable.
Very nice
handmade stand
Very nice! My ideea was a little different. I used fimo modelling clay i bough from an arts shop with crafting materials (very cheap). You model it the way you want to and them place it in the oven and it hardens. It is very hard and and you can get it in any colours you want. From the leftovers I made a little android guy. I gave it the phone's shape, so it fits quite good and is stable enough. I then glued a piece of fabric so as not to scratch the phone in time. It is not the best looking solution but it fits its purpose perfectly. It took like 20minutes to build it, not including the time it stood in the oven.

Awsome!!!!
Looks cool indeed, only downside is that you still have to plug in the usb connector afterwards ^^
True. I wanted a simple dock to use the phone as a night stand clock thinggie. I'll try another design to incorporate the charger some time.
I really dig you Lego design. Technics all the way!! Fits with the Optimus One robot theming too.
hahahahahahaha seems that your phone is "relaxing" ....
where are the girls dancing around it??? xD

Awesome stuffff!!!!
The lego chair is fantastic! I wonder if I still have some pieces here at home...
Very nice! It´s a good idea ^^
Good ideea! I've started thinking about making a dock out of fimo too.
Very smart Gj
im def considering.. doing one out of clay or resin.. and making a usb/headphone port. hmmmm to the drawing board.
Do try. Good matterial, it doesn't break easily (I dropped it numerous times and carried it in my luggage) and you can go wild with designs. Have fun!
I have to steal some LEGO from my kids when they sleep and rebuild that!
I put these pieces together to make a sweet Wii Controller to go. It gets a little heavy, but it's balanced well. Check it out.

nothing there man
That was a pretty slick idea man! I may have to build my own rig for myself now. Thanks for the idea, props!

It was really easy too. The only hard part was super gluing everything together.
Ok, so you have inspired me, I went out n bought the classic pro controller, and I LOVE your idea of the slide in behind holster for the motion controller, I might have to build up something similar, but without the part for the phone itself.
Im gonna keep looking to see if there is something for the pro controller and post back.
Thanks for the idea!
Simply amazing. This looks like a great portable solution.
Looks awesome, but has to weigh a ton! I can see getting fatigued pretty quickly if you're not resting the controller on something while playing.

Nicely done! i'm going to have to build myself one of those when i get some extra cash.
Question for you, like the commenter on your video asked, how did you get that effect when turning off the phone? (the old tube-tv style scrunch and power-off)

Use a Gingerbread-based ROM (he mentions he is using Ultimate Droid 3.1).
Very cool. I like the idea.
Makes my decision to get the One over the X that much more tolerable. I was really intrigued with the double twist camera trick on the X but the Pressy seems even quicker and easier and I won't accidentally fling the phone across the room.

Not bad...What a video. Haha... those guys are freaks! I bet you press that button and they dump bear porn on your system. :cyclops:
But seriously a good idea even down to the keychain. I love seeing all of kickstarters ghetto prototypes and how they progress.
Kinda weird the first picture of it on their kickstarter page has the top of the One in a mirrored layout. It shows cam on the left and power on the right when it is actually reverse of that.

Yep, i backed it yesterday, the $20 deal. Got this & the microsd dongle from meenova
Saw it on Engadget this morning, loved the video as well. I laughed out loud at the computer crashing down on the table.
It is a great idea, love the fact that the app will work with wired headsets as well.

I came to the same conclusion.
It's an interesting concept, though.
I know, the title says it all...
Still, the S-pen got a really awkward plastic burnt smell on it. Anyone else has that as well?
Actually yes, haven't noticed it until I tried giving it a sniff
Wow, I thought I'd be falling for a trick, but no... It does have a strong plastic smell.

Mine has no discernable odor. Where the heck have you been sticking it?
Same here ?
Ooh the visuals...
A thousand Note 10/10+ owners carefully removing their S-Pen and running it tenderly under their nose looking for a delicate aroma of burnt plastic.....
LOL.....
Maybe it smells more after coming off the charger, due to heat.

OK same here, the idea of it. But it is actually a legitimate question. It really smells awkward. Like burnt molten plastic.
Okay i laughed and give it a good smell.
Don't think its burning plastic you can smell. I imagine its the Coil inside the Pen, Most PCB give of that smell.
Lmfao.
Yes I admit I just gave it a whiff and sure enough, strong smell like burnt something...
You people amaze me. How in the heck did u notice this? I had never smelled the spen till now. I think consecutive whiffs would get you high off plastic.
Now I wonder is my Note 9 smelled also?
Yes because it as actual electronics in it, it's the wireless charging coil. Still agree it doesn't smell great
My coworker just saw me sniffing my s-pen. lol
It definitely smells funny though.

Strangely enough, I remember this same conversation about the Note 9 S-Pen when it first came out.
Smells like something electronic. Of course now I smell all the smelly ppl around me at the DMV, thanks. Lol
Yeah it stank.

Don't you like the smell of new electronics? That first time smell of a freshly bought phone? OK just kidding.
There's that YouTube tech guy, flossy and he's smelling a lot at his unboxing. Thought I give it a go on the S-pen ?

White shoes has day off, Flossy wants to knife his A50 and White shoes runs almost into his knife.
I wonder how White shoes would react to the smell of the S-pen
