'DIY' Ipod Touch Car Stand ~ Stylish, Cheap and GO GREEN

[pink godzila]

I call this the Ipod Touch V Stand, since I got this finish by valentine's day so I name this the V stand ~ * ONLY works for 3 generation ipod touch

** This stand only work for the 3 gen ipod touch. I'm working on the Iphone/Itouch stand later on also have more coming soon**

Car I display the V stand is in my Lexus Is300, the Is300 has perfect position and space for display your DIY itouch V stand. People with high end vehicle I do not recommand this idea on your radio trim or dash board.

How to make it....

Material:
-Plastic holder that come with the Itouch (hold strong and perfect)
-Loop Tap (heavy duty)

Tools:
-Drill
-Sand paper


Step 1.
Take the plastic that hold the Itouch use as base for the stand. This plastic holds perfect and strong!!

Drill a hole (where the headphone jack) make sure the the AUX cable can plug all the way through. This is going connect through the car audio system.

Cut off the edge of the right side ear and sand it. Make a stylish S shape (dont leave it has ugly looking sharp edge)

*Tip: Using the display sticker to hold the plastic stand while you drill/sand the stand.

Let me know what you guys think... suggestion or improvement... etc, thanks.

More to do:

- Color up your stand
- Drill hole for the doc connector so you can charge the itouch in your car

i think its a little too big maybe if you trimmed down the back plate it would look a lot better

[sickstatus]

ohh man, clever idea.

i should look how to do it for an iphone ahaha.

[ayuaddict]

the first thing that came to mind was that you should cut that square border off the clear plastic.

then i realized that would be pointless. you can just stick some velcro to the back of the ipod and not have the clear plastic in the first place.
