Improvised iPod stand

Me is bad.

So there I was at a restaurant today and I noticed a "reserved" sign on the table. It was made from a single thin sheet of stainles steel and folded to stand upright about 5" tall and 3" wide... and suddenly I knew it'd make a great iPod stand.

So er, I swiped it. Did I feel guilty about it? Nope. The sign was paid for by MasterCard... I mena they sponsored the lot. You musta seen them before... some credit/charge card company sponsors a bunch of these signs with a big logo on it...

Anyway, I dropped by a hardware shop on the way home to buy a pack of rubber "feet" and this stand works great with the Contour Showcase! I just clip the Showcase to it and I have a stand that'll dols the iPod AND still accommodate the Showcase... only problem is that the iPod is tilted 90 to one side... hmmm...

I'll post pics as soon as I can get my hands on a digicam... hehehehe...

Anyone else got any er... improvised stands?

Not much more than reporting you to a moderator/administrator and let them deal with it.

This is a serious forum, where we dont call people names in a discussion.
At least I dont sink that low, and I dont tollerate that others offend me!

way to go superman.

I've tried many iPod Lego Dock options, I got a few nice concepts, and I made one of those first ones, except it s "Colourful" and it only has 1 airplane thing

I made 1 for by my bed, by my computer, and the shower
