DIY Paper iPhone Dock

Sep 15, 2009

Julien Madérou has created a paper iPhone dock with a printable version for you to download and create  yourself. Very clever.  A commenter notes that if you have a metal iPod touch or first gen iPhone, those are too heavy to be supported so you might want to try a thicker weight. Also note, the template is sized for A4 paper. UPDATE: here’s the template for the U.S. letter paper version.

    That is superb, especially like the fact that they have thought things through enough to allow charging/docking whilst on the stand. Now I just need the iPhone to put on it!

    Not sure why the original post (linked at the very beginning of the post) wasn’t used instead:http://www.dessinemoiunobjet.com/iphone-and-itouch-paper-sta…

    Note there’s a link to the US Letter format.
